Would You Execute?

Before reading the Milgram article for homework, I would admit that I thought negatively toward Germans for what they did to the Jews during the Holocaust. After reading this article, it opened my eyes to the other side and gave me a different perspective on the situation. Milgram did a study that showed me that no matter what gender, ethnicity or age, if you are told to, or pressured by someone with authority, you might do anything, even if in your own mind, you knew it was wrong. IF you were asked right now, if you would execute a stranger, most people would take it very personally, and say with great emphasis, "Why would I do that" or "Absolutely not." But Milgram did his experiment, and showed all those people, that even if you think that way, given the circumstances that the Holocaust brought, most people did execute the stranger, while being pressured and pushed by a strong, authoritative dictator.
