Myer experiment

The results of the meyer experiment come as no supprise to me. Partly becuase I have read about it multiple times, but when you think about it, from day one of life we are programed into being obedient. Our parents expect nothing less of us. Were told not to be disrespectful by disobeying something that they ask of us. If we do we get punished. Now even though in most cases your not punished for being disobedient in adulthood, unless of course in the working world, we are automatically do what is asked of us. Now thats not to say Nazi's didnt have punishment to worry about, but Americans in  a study that they can opt out of any time had nothing to fear. They were going to get paid either way. I have little doubt that any one in my class would not stop once they reach a near fatal level of voltage if instructed to do so. We may think it is wrong, but for the first 18 years of our life we are essentialy programed for the real world. And part of that programing is being obedient to any supperior

Who am I?

This blog is dedicated to my Sociology class at a Illinois high school. Whats cool about this is it replaces taking tests. So for the next five months I'll be updating this blog periodicaly.

Whats there to know about me? Well...I run track and cross country, I snowboard, I sing in my schools top choir , and I have a huge love of technology. Also like any high school guy I enjoy my TV and video games. I'm currently a senior at my school and plan on going to a college, I'm just not sure which one yet. During the summer I work three jobs. I life guard, ref soccer, and umpire baseball. I've lived in the same town and house all my life and I wouldn't have it an other way. I love the days where I can hang out with my friends and just do nothing. The biggest influences in my life are definetly my friends and family. In terms of goals all I can reall hope to achieve is be successful and happy. Thats basically me in a nutshell.

Last week in class we discussed the inauguration. Basically we got to here all about my teachers experience at the presidential inauguration. We saw his pictures, videos, and souvenirs. It was actually my first day in the class becuase I had just been transferd in and it was a cool way to start it off.
