The state produced in the laboratory may be likened to a light doze, compared to the profound slumber induced by the preponent authority system of a national government.
"Stanley Milgram" was an American social psychologist, best known for his controversial Milgram experiment/experiment on obedience conducted in the 1960s during his professorship at Yale University/Yale. Milgram was influenced by the events of the Nazi Holocaust/Holocaust, specifically the trial of Adolf Eichmann, in developing this experiment.
His small-world experiment while at Harvard University/Harvard would lead researchers to analyze the degree of connectedness, most notably the six degrees of separation concept. Later in his career, Milgram developed a technique for creating interactive hybrid social agents (cyranoids), which has since been used to explore aspects of social- and self-perception. He is widely regarded as one of the most important figures in the history of social psychology.

It is easy to ignore responsibility when one is only an intermediate link in a chain of action.
With numbing regularity, good people were seen to knuckle under the demands of authority and perform actions that were callous and severe.
The key to the behavior of subjects lies not in pent-up anger or aggression, but in the nature of their relationship to authority. They have given themselves to the authority; they see themselves as instruments for the execution of his wishes; once so defined, they are unable to break free.
