.....Milgram did some other interesting stuff, on authority. Some people are amazingly responsive to someone in authority without good reason; simply because one IS in authority. It's a little scary...to wit what happened under Hitler's regime early on, as it related to following those in 'authority.'

Yes, it is scary. There was something else about those experiments that was very interesting and I can't remember what it was. It had something to do with an analysis of the people that were told to give the shocks. People with certain types of occupations tended to follow the orders blindly, whereas others would question them or stopped much sooner. I wish I could remember that information.
