The Milgram Experiment

Mr. Doud's has already mentioned the Milgram Experiment, where participants were asked to shock people with increasingly high voltage. Stanley Milgram conducted this experiment in order to understand how the German people allowed the Nazis to conduct such heinous crimes against humanity during WWII. This video has several interviews with Milgram, footage of the original experiment, and modern psychologists discussing the implications of the Milgram Experiment.
