Sep 29th class' response

Did you see the gorilla or not? what about the other clips? talk a little bit about your experience this morning.

At the first time in the gorilla's experiment, I counted the number of passes all guys had been doing through each other and I counted 50. I also noticed they were 2 teams playing along with, blacks and whites, and at the middle of the game I noticed the faded-gorilla figure passed by the screen.

I really had some many problems with the forward 2 excercises because it was not easy for me to realized relevant changes in the pictures. I glad I found At the Cottage picture the faded bush converted into stones.

The excercise doesn't state any special quality or kind of intelligence, sometimes it was a luck performance, but attention. People lack of attention in many ways, and when it comes to notice changes in the excercises, people focused on the most special details, but irrelevant.

This experiment is a kind of joke to people, and a confirm the limitness of human behaviour.

Stanley Milgram activity

My first impression about the material is that I am astounished how the Milgram's study turned out.
When people give up their values to follow someone else's, that means we are kind of go-with-the-flow people. No matter what request is given us, in order to complete the task we are going to until last consequence. Authoritarism can take advantage of this situation to subtle people to do any kind of atrocities in the behalf of the system. But the truth is that either task giver and task receiver are both responsible for their acts. So, when the NAZI commited many attrocities, low-ranked-nazi authorities refuged in the word that they just followed given commandments.

Everybody has the right to judge which actions would become a threat to others. We are not just mere machines.
