Write a 3-4 (Minimum) Page Response Paper based on the Following Video and Articles, as well as the Panel Discussion and the PowerPoint Presentation Panel: Ethics in America; Under Orders, Under Fire: Part 2 http://www.learner.org/resources/series81.html Here are some suggested questions to answer in your paper: What specific parts of the video, the articles and the panel discussion did you find the most interesting? What parts of the video, the articles and panel discussion did you find yourself most in agreement with? Where would you want to push or challenge this video, these articles film or panel and any of the film’s, articles, or panel’s concepts? What would you do in you were put into any of the experiments’ place? How far would you go? What are some of the points in the film and the panel discussion do you personally feel is the most important and why? Should there be in rules in combat? (In regard to the panel) or do we leave our ethics and values behind? Many war-criminals claimed they were merely following orders and could not be held responsible for their actions, in the trials following the World War II. Were the Germans or even the people from the study, in fact, evil and cold-hearted, or is this a group phenomenon which could happen to anyone, given the right conditions? Based on the results of the Milgram experiment and the Panel Discussion, do you think that individuals who "compromise their own values and ethics in order to obey authority" are responsible for the treatment of others---- even if the authority figure was giving instructions to harm the other individual? Why do you think individuals follow the instructions of authority so closely, even if they are technically able to "disobey"? Why do you think the individuals in the study administered deadly shocks to the “learner" in the experiment, even though they knew that it was wrong? Are there certain qualities that differentiate authority figures? Would certain qualities lead you to follow one instead of another? (Name some qualities) In one of the videos of Milgram's experiment, it is seen that the individual delivering the shocks seems to want to leave the experiment but continues when the authority (person in the lab coat) tells them that they must continue the experiment. Why do you think they continue even though they had tried to stop before? Has an authority figure ever been able to convince you to do something you did not want to do, either intentionally or unintentionally? If so, then why did you personally compromise your own beliefs to submit to the will of said authority figure? Why do you think the individuals in the Jonestown Massacre or during the Holocaust followed their leader's instructions to ingest poison? It was stated that mothers with young babies lined up first to ingest the poison. Why do you think this was the case? Do you think that it could have been because of fear of consequence? Do you think that people today will be more aware of right or wrong thing to do or do you believe that an authority figure will always be able to sway their judgment? Please explain why or why not. Do you feel that torture is permissible in some circumstances and what you think are the psychological results, to the one being tortured and the person doing the torturing? After watching the YouTube film on the Stanford Prison Experiment, what type of guard would you be and for that matter, what type of prisoner would you be as well? What serious omissions (what do you feel was left out or not addressed?) in the Video or in the Articles or the Panel Discussion. In what ways does this Talk or Film and this Article reinforce, extend, challenge, or oppose your own views?
