What is a respectable citizen capable of going to the order? Reflections on tens of thousands of people in fascist Germany, who sent their own kind, simply fulfilling their duty, prompted Stanley Milgram to the idea of a provocative experiment. The behavior of the subjects during various variations of the experiment invariably confirmed the terrible guesses of Milgram: some participants in the tests severely “punished” others, not taking advantage of their right to refuse. The paradox is that such virtues as fidelity, discipline and self -sacrifice that we value in a person tie people to the most inhuman systems of power. But since the Nazi death camps, the nature of man has not changed. That is why the relevance of the concept, which the experiment confirms with terrible persuasiveness, can be disputed, but it is dangerous to underestimate. The famous Milgram experiment, which initially caused a protest and distrust among many, was later recognized as one of the most morally significant studies in psychology
