Virtually everyone says he or she would have stopped early in the process. And most people predict that very few if any participants would keep pressing all the way to 450 volts. Yet in the basic procedure described here, 65 percent of the participants continued to administer shocks to the very end of the session.
this experiment is very eye opening because most people say they wouldn't hurt people but in this experiment they believe that these shocks hurt and the last shock that can administered is almost deadly. It is crazy that people kept providing shocks because a person of authority told them too even though they could hear the person screams and knew that the shocks harmed them.

Many people believe that they have a true self buried inside of them. From this perspective, the development of self is about discovering a psychological truth deep inside. Do you believe this to be true? How does thinking about the self as an actor, agent, and author bear on this question?
I think this is true. I believe that there is a part of ourselves we don't even realize because we are convinced we know who we are. But the truth is, we know who people have made us out to be. We know the opinions other's think of ourselves and so we reflect that in who we are whether those opinions are true or false. With the mere knowledge of the thoughts about ourself from others, our true self we think we know is altered and hidden. Unless we look very deep inside ourself, without the bias of others we will never truly know who we are.
