Problem:
This week, we read about several experimental and historical examples of when people were observed acting against their own will or conscience, given the right set of circumstances. There are also plenty of historical examples of those in power who took advantage of individuals' obedience and conformity to social pressures or the pressures of authority. Need Assignment Help?
Assessment Preparation:
Select one of the social experiments that we read about this week (e.g., Zimbardo, Asch, Milgram).
Identify a current event or situation that similarly illustrates obedience and conformity. Like the social experiments you studied, the event you choose should also raise questions of ethics.
Assessment Deliverable:
Write a one thousand and fifty - to one thousand four hundred word paper in which I:
Compare and contrast the social experiment you selected with the current event or situation you selected.
Identify the participants' social roles and what behaviors reflect those roles.
Examine the participants' specific behaviors.
Discuss the internal and external consequences of the participants' behaviors (e.g., shunning, passivity, degradation, and insolence).
Explain how social roles in the current event or situation resulted in the outcome.
Describe a realistic alternative scenario that could have resulted in a different, more ethical outcome for the selected current event or situation. Relate this alternative scenario to a concept in social psychology.
Cite a minimum of three sources to support your assignment.
Format my paper according to APA guidelines.
PSA: It doesn't matter which assignment you choose just be sure to make sure the word count is correct and you use APA style
