After reading "The Perils of Obedience" I came to the conclusion that the experiment was definitely ethical. Due to the fact that the victim of this experiment wasn't actually harmed. They were just an actor helping conduct an experiment. The person doing the shocking was not harmed by the whole thing, just unknowingly helping collect information. By conducting this experiment Milgram was able to discover many things, including the ways the experimenter's actions changed depending on the different senarios given. Although I do not agree with this experiment because it was emotionally tramatic to the experimenter, I do feel as though it gave us a lot of useful information about a human's behavior when it comes to morals and boundaries. It's interesting to see what a person would do to another person just because an authoritative figure tells them to do so. Granted, if it had not been an experiment it could've meant life or death for that person, they were willing to harm another to save themselves. People may feel as though this experiment should not have been conducted at all, but as awful as it may seem we have been able to see so much from this experiment.
