Unordinary Ordinary Teachers

            How most of ordinary people in various nations and from every stratum of society come to act in a concrete situation such as the Milgram experiment, -which its first series was done by Stanley Milgram in 1961-are quite similar to each other. How church was possibly able to dominate the power over ordinary people, demanding them orders of the God and how people as absolute followers would simply take action of the given celestial task, no matter how hard or harsh the tasks were, is relatively equivalent to the situation that Milgram had provided for his subjects in his psychological experiment. In concrete situations where followers are only meant to carry out only the given tasks, the privilege of looking back and re-thinking about the command is somewhat automatically taken from the person, and what can be seen is a range between thoroughly being possessed by the authority (obedience) and behaving with defiance. As Milgram asserts, obedience is to become an instrument to carry out an order by authority and viewing yourself as to be no longer responsible for neither the act nor consequences (Milgram); which in this particular experiment, teachers were to carry out the act of violence, giving shocks with increasing intensity to another individual (the learner who is an actor and never receives any shocks) whenever he makes an error. In fact the experiment was only set up for the teacher to measure for how long and up to what point he would still respect the order given by the experimenter and "torture" the learner. Carrying out the act of obedience which herein we refer to it as torturing the learner, is not quite synonymous with the assumption that all of the teachers in this experiment were somewhat too timid or too weak individuals in which experimenter was able to forcibly take over their ability and compel them to torture the learners. .
