How would you react if Dr. Turner addressed the class mid semester, with...

"We now have a method to help all students make A's. Some of your fellow students can't keep up with our assignments. As a class, I would like for you to aid in their treatment process. I will ask them a series of questions in regard to their reading assignments, if they answer correctly, you will need to do nothing; however, if a wrong answer is given you will need to zap their hand with this high voltage (shock) pencil...."

I know this senero seems silly, but it is in reference to (p38) Dr. Milgram's obedience vs disobedience experiment.

If Dr. Turner gave us that treatment process, i would pray not to be the one doing the shocking. On the other hand i would pray not to be the one shocked. I know that those people are doing what they are told, but how could someone honestly continue the shocking if you were to hear the way people were screaming as if they were really in pain. I for one hope that i never have to be part of that kind of an experiement, i honestly dont know if i could go through with it.

I honestly have never been in a situation where I have had to make a moral decision that I knew was wrong, and I pray that I never have to be in one. I don't really know what I would have done if I was in the teacher position of that experiment. But when I know that I am doing something wrong, I get this really bad feeling in my stomach that makes me sick, so I don't think that I would have continued to a higher voltage. I think I would have stopped, but then again, I have never been in that position. It's hard to know what someone would do unless they are in that position. We say that we would never do something like that, but we were taught to obey.
