And yes, I don't know the answers to the questions, either. <br /><br />I think my friends' decision was right, for their children, but then those parents are very intelligent, well-read and independent thinkers, and very loving and caring.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by.Sackersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17284329249862764601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-31715577892606641272011-11-26T20:51:58.282+00:002011-11-26T20:51:58.282+00:00Great questions.

I have an opinion on a couple of them and not a clue about the rest. <br /><br />Millgram's experiment was replicated many times in many different settings. For example it was thought that the setting at Yale Uni may have influenced people into thinking that nothing could be allowed to go wrong in such an august institution, so it was repeated as though carried out by a commercial organisation in a commercial building. The results were pretty well identical.<br /><br />Interesting that 100% of women murdered the puppy, but I think the same experiment would yield the same results today (its's about two thirds across all demographics willing to apply lethal voltage, isn't it?).<br /><br />As to the gender of the teacher being matched to the pupils I can only go from experience in an all boys school and being taught French by a young French lass in our third year. Very little was learned about the French language that year.Twisted Roothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18028038742993461842noreply@blogger.com
