What is milg?

Stanley Milgram was an American social psychologist who conducted a series of experiments in the 1960s known as the Milgram experiment. The experiment aimed to study the willingness of people to obey authority figures even when it contradicted their own conscience. The participants were instructed to deliver electric shocks to another person when they answered a question incorrectly, with the voltage increasing every time they made a mistake. The experiment found that many participants were willing to administer increasingly painful shocks despite the person's screams of pain. This demonstrated the participants' obedience to authority figures.

The Milgram experiment continues to be controversial, with some critics arguing that the experiment was unethical and dangerous behavior was encouraged. However, it is widely recognized as an important contribution to understanding the human capacity for obedience to authority and its implications on individual behavior.
