Obedience to Authority

Chapter 1
Chapter 1 describes the background and sets up the framework for the rest of the book. It's put in the book to define social issues that persist today in society.

Chapter 2
Chapter 2 describes the experiment in explicit detail. It goes over locations, details, and how they legitimize the experiment. Interestingly enough, Milgram goes through several iterations of his experiment to find out how to get people to stand up to authority and its already a stark indicator of how much people obey authority.

Chapter 3 
Chapter 3 is basically results as predicted by the common man. Almost everyone thought that the experiment would stop sooner than later.

Chapter 4
Chapter 4 focuses mostly on how user proximity effects the experiment and it's results. Basically, if someone is real close to you, you'll probably stop sooner. On the other side of the coin, if someone if insanely far away, you probably won't start.

Chapter 5
This chapter about peoples responses to the experiments. The standout example is the guy who laughed. We talked about him in class.

Chapter 6
Chapter 6 opens up alot of different variables in the experiments. Location, validity, experimenters, distances from experimenters, it all changed. I personally think it's crazy how almost none of these changed variables did anything.

Chapter 7
Chapter 7 is about the personalities and actions of the teachers in the experiment. It focuses on how they addressed the experimenter regardless of what was going on.

Chapter 8
Chapter 8 shows several variations on the roles in the experiments. As always in this book, the results are largely the same.

Chapter 9
Chapter 9  focuses on the effects of peers in the experiment. Even though they might have rebellious peers people still seemed meek in front of authority.

Chapter 10
Chapter 10 is straight philosophical! Milgram goes on and on about how obedience in society is a evolutionary trait of ours. It makes alot of sense!

Chapter 11
This chapter further explores the role of obidience in society and how it effects the subject in his experiments. He also talks about the relationship between the experimenter and the subject.

Chapter 12
Twelve revolves around the emotional impact the experiment has the on subjects. It goes in depth into the mental hurdles that a man goes through when he makes these descisions.

Chapter 13
Here, Milgram establishes that people aren't just gigantic assholes and are just conforming to authority.

Chapter 14
Chapter 14 addressed the 3 primes criticisms of his experiments.

Chapter 15
Chapter 15, the epilogue, basically goes into dark philosophy. It evaluates the results and how they effect our perception on our past. And also what it means is possible in the future.
