Review # 2 was written on 2012-07-20 00:00:00 Robert Gurley The first time i saw Milgram's experiment of shocking machine was from Through the wormhole, i was actually quite shocked to learn that 2/3 of people would actually hang in there till the end even though they dislike to see others suffer. then I watched the movie " the experimenter" without remembering that was actually talking about Milgarm's story. i thought similar experiments were repeated several times. But now reading this book, all the connection came back. noted that during the shock experiment, combined with voice-feedback condition (62.5%), proximity condition (40%), and touch-proximity condition(30%) still used the maximum shock 450 watt, just because they were told to. After the experiment, they filled up the survey after 6 to 11 weeks, 65% of those who obeyed the shock didn't feel bother and annoyed by this experiment. 62.7% who fought and argued back at that time didn't feel bother and annoyed by this experiment. What does that mean? We don't seem to be that angel and nice as we thought we should be. Other's suffering remains other's pain. Other contribution of Milgram is Small world experiment, which led to 6 degree separation theory. While i read this biography, i think someone like him still haunted by his own ghost, his ego still trapped him to consider being able the professor of Harvard would made his a successful person, other than that, he failed. Many men got his own haunted side, and this complicated part of inner self makes us so different and charming, but no one can share their suffering and insist except themselves. He lived such short life, 51 ys. Life is really not measured by how long you live, but how fulfilled you live. We are all the passenger of time, some got remembered, mostly don't. At least, we write our own scripts, make ourselves shine!
