Suppress and rule. How do people lose humanity? Milgram S., Zimbardo F.

If you order a person to beat the other with the electric shock for the wrong answers, then he will follow the order until he kills. If you invite a person to become a warden in prison, where his classmates are contained, then on the first day he will be in every possible way to avoid the need to show cruelty, but only on the first day, and then the experiment will have to be stopped due to cases of uncontrolled aggression by the overseers group.

What does authority mean for a person? What is he ready to go for the approval of society? What crimes can be committed by order, and what feature a healthy person will never cross? Is there such a feature at all? You will find answers to these questions in the book of the two best social psychologists of the twentieth century.
