Stanley Milgram conducted an experiment in 1963 to study obedience to authority by instructing participants to administer electric shocks to another person. The experiment found that a majority of participants continued to administer increasingly high levels of shocks when instructed by an authority figure, even when the person receiving the shocks begged them to stop. The study demonstrated how obedience to authority can override personal conscience and moral objections, highlighting the importance of critically evaluating the motivations and instructions of those in positions of power.
