After watching the film, I am sighed that 19-year-old Herold can do and do such a thing. It's because everyone who met him gave up thinking and chose to follow blindly. Along the way, there were also doubts about Herold. But in Germany at the time, most people had no reason to suspect a Führer's envoy wearing a captain's uniform shouting long live Hitler. They did not take the initiative to believe him out of rational judgment, but under the influence of a powerful symbol system and social label system, what corresponds to Herold is his uniform, subordinates, and behavior. As long as they have these, it is easy to People won't delve into the logic behind his behavior. Even if he thinks it's problematic, he will subconsciously obey and choose to believe him. Today, we still lose the ability to think and judge because of the powerful system of symbols and social labels. I remember watching "Influence" before, psychologist Milgren did an experiment.
He recruited a group of participants of different ages and positions and told them that it was an experiment to test "whether corporal punishment works for learning behavior." Participants will randomly select teacher and student role cards. Teachers ask questions, students answer. Once the students answer incorrectly, they will be punished with electric shocks. If they answer incorrectly, the voltage will increase in turn. During this period, the teacher and the students are separated by a wall, and only the sound can be heard, but the two do not see each other. At the beginning of the experiment, the student answered the first question wrong. The voltage of the electric shock machine was 45V and then he answered another question wrong. The voltage rose to 75V. The student felt pain and began to mumble. When the voltage was 120V, the student suddenly shouted and kept beating. wall, at which point the teacher may realize that the student is hurt. He turned his head and asked the experimenter who had been sitting beside him for help. Next, the experimenter in uniform will tell the teacher to continue. The teacher continued to ask questions, the student answered incorrectly again, the voltage rose to 150V, the student yelled at the wall that I have a heart attack and I wanted to quit the experiment, but the experimenter on the side still indicated that they could continue to ask questions, and promised that the teacher would not have to bear any responsibility for this. After the responsibility was guaranteed, the teacher chose to continue until the voltage exceeded 330V, and there was no sound from the students. The experiment was over. Although the students did not receive real harm during the experiment, they were all handled by the staff. Acting, the electric shock punishment is not real, those screams and hammering the wall are all pre-recorded audio by the staff. Each participant was assigned the role of a teacher, and this experiment was designed to test how much human nature can resist when faced with an order from an authority that violates conscience? How many people will stop this inhumane behavior halfway through? Each participant proposed to pause and question the idea of the experiment when the voltage reached a certain value, but no one insisted on stopping before reaching 300V at this time, after pundits expressed support. 65% of the participants reached the limit of 450V. When a person is given the right to harm others, if there is a position, professionalism, or seemingly reasonable idea, people are likely to do terrible things, give up the kindness and compassion they once believed in, The elimination of one's own thoughts, subconsciously obeying instructions. Thus came the banal evil, and evil without knowing it. Mapping myself, it is also difficult to jump out of this problem. Combining life and work may not reach sin. Are you also coerced and scared by something? Confused thoughts, and confused and not sober. I will care about whether I am good or bad because of other people's evaluations. I will compare the status of others, and I will care about whether I can be complacent or chasing after. Have I really been investigating and comparing research? Have you come up with theories and viewpoints that are relatively closer to the objective reality?
