I brought this back for Hillary and others who may have missed it the first time.
While I am here, I thought I would add a couple comments. Milgam's study clearly shows the difference between what people say they will do and what they actually will do. Most people might say, "Well, if I was an elder, I won't do such and such." Really?? Are you sure? Most students said they would disobey authority (96%), yet the majority (60%) continued the shocks beyond the point of the "learners" loud screams to point that it appeared that the learner was unconscious. Although many students showed great anxiety, they continued. Why? Because they had given over their personal responsibility to authority, just as a publisher gives it up to the elder, and the elder gives it up to the DO, etc, on up the line.
When I first read the studies of Sherif, Asch, Zimbardo, and Milgram, I truely humbled regarding the powerful forces that shape our lives.
Waiting,
My advice regarding questions in class has more to do with the prof than it does the students. Some profs like interactivity and lots of questions. I always did. Some like to talk for long periods with no break in their concentration, with questions at the end. You have to size up the profs. Forget what other students think. It's your tuition dollars and your education.
