Answer:    Stanley Milgram

Explanation:  As Stanley Milgram himself stated, the essence of obedience to authority is when a person begins to perceive himself as a tool to fulfil the wishes of the authority, not his own wishes, so he sees all his actions and consequences of these actions as a result of the action of authority, not as a result of his will and responsibility. Milgram based his experiment on the conflict that arises between the state of obedience and the conscience of a person who subordinated to authority. The essence of the experiment concerned the responsibility of those who committed genocide during WWII, who claimed to have been merely obedient, i.e executing the orders of superiors, and based their defense on this claim. This begs the question of whether or not they were complicit in the genocide.

The experiment was performed with pairs of participants where one was a "student" and the other was a "teacher", and where the student was connected to an electroshock electrode. Each time a student would give a wrong answer, the teacher would activate electricity through the electrodes and the student would experience an electric shock. With each wrong answer, the teacher would increase the level of electric shock. There are also some moderation in the experiment, such as a student would make a mistake on purpose, etc.

The conclusion is that ordinary people are generally willing to kill people, even if they are innocent in order to execute the orders of superiors, recognised as authority. It is considered that when it comes to authority, all its orders are justified and legal. So it is moral and proper to follow the orders of authority, whatever it may be.

Which of the following is a true statement?
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

d. An interest group is more likely than a political party to support a change in public policy.

Explanation:

                  Here the correct answer is an interest group that is more likely to support a change in public policy because the group of people who wishes a change in the policy is more likely to support for the change than any other organisation.

                  That particular interest group may not like the public policy framed by the government and wants some amendments in the policy, So it is more likely that the interest group will support for the change in the policy than the government.

Thus the correct answer is

d. An interest group is more likely than a political party to support a change in public policy.

Movies and television shows strengthen the impression that all police are highly successful in solving crimes, when in fact only
zimovet [89]

Movies and television shows strengthen the impression that all police are highly successful in solving crimes, when in fact only 20 percent of all reported index crimes are solved.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Movies and television shows are fictional in nature which sometimes tends to portray the police force as a larger than life character by solving crimes, whereas in fact the police are able to solve only twenty percent of the same, which speaks volumes about their efficiency.

Movies and series in television give the impression that all police officers are successful in clearing crimes, and in fact only 20 percent among all reported crimes are committed.

1)Which generation do you think is the poem addressing to?
Damm [24]

Answer:

1 is the current generation which is Z or maybe the millenials. But maybe more on Z. But it could actually be adressing all generations

2 Environmental destruction is the norm and Families stayed together

Explanation:

reason being that

1First they use some sort of free verse poem cause wow does this not have anything a traditional poem should have. Second, it talks about climate change which only the millenials and Z had issues adressed about it. But there is also "work is more important than family" which adresses the problem of the generation before millenials making the millenials who they are.

2Environmental destruction has been the norm even before the millenials were born and even when it has come to light it is still that, so this poem has a ton of ignorance in it. This era has honestly made more people at home and stayed together literally, if this is being figurative as in the love for family, many eras had families that have not stayed together while this one is honestly not too different just that everyone is more isolated(get the pun).

3The situation is already here so we cannot avoid but face against it or help the nexr. From work being more important than family(boomers) to being apathetic(Z). Situational awareness could help but not much. The only thing we can do is by educating everyone in schools about this. And having our voices be heard as well as finding any method to curb some of the capitalist corruption of our generation. In short, it is inevitable as our past generations, millenials or boomers, never helped us avoid this situation but instead either made it worse or just let it happen.
