Assignment
Chapter 13: Social Psychology
Critical Thinking is an important skill to have. Even though we are often aware of situations where critical thinking is not being used, it may still be difficult to define. As part of the curriculum, students must study the concept of critical thinking and apply their understanding of it in an exercise.
For this assignment, you will read and study the article by Stanley Milgram entitled, "Behavioral Study of Obedience."
Once you have familiarized yourself with the article, you will use the "Template for Analyzing the Logic of an Article," on page 11 of The Miniature Guide to Critical Thinking (by Dr. Richard Paul and Dr. LindaElder) to write an analysis of the article. This paper will be a minimum of 500 words, submitted in a Word Document.
