Yeah, and we'll just ignore that this was heavily based on a U.S. experiment conducted at Yake University in the 1960s (Journ. of Abnormal and Social Psych. #67)
The main difference between the original experiment and this one, is that here you can see the actor and in Milgram's experiment the participant could only hear the actor.
@actron this wasn't a "show" it was a set up for a documentary showing how easily manipulated people are and the fascist mindset of oblivious people who spend their time watching any amount of tv (which is a brainwashing media)
I am a psychology major..and I am pretty sure that Milgram's experiment has since its time been deemed unethical and no such experiment would be done again. This is similarly unethical so why is it allowed to be done?
This just proves how fucking disgusting human race is. I am ashemed to be part of it. Majority of people dont question authority and follow orders mindlessly..and rest of those are called conspiracy theorist who start questioning authority..fuck human race..all of them nazis.
Milgram's experiment was unethical because it subjected participants to emotional distress. It would be ethical if the distress was naturally occurring and observers just watched (as in a natural disaster or terrorist attack, etc.). This show, just like Milgram's study, creates the situation of distress on human participants and that is unethical.
Placing someone in the position of shocking another person. Not every person might be concerned emotionally if they shock a person with electricity, but there are people who would be emotionally disturbed or distressed if they were put into the position of torturing/shocking another human, especially as they watch the shocked person in pain.
@TKDdans All game and reality television shows create unnecessary distress upon participants, and you attack the one that's actually trying to EXPOSE what an awful source of entertainment this is? Honestly.
The dawn of Christianity gradually did away with the old ones, but now that we're throwing Judeo-Christian values away, guess what's coming back in the picture.
Secularism, thy god is thy self and they name is entertainment.
@TheJediCharles Oh really? And you've never heard of public hangings? Of freak shows? Of jousting and armed tournaments, and other dangerous or cruel spots such as bare-knuckle boxing, dogfighting, and cockfighting? Of witch-burning and trial by combat, and by god there is a reason that they stone people to death in the Bible. It's more. Fucking. Fun.
The only thing worse than someone who believes in a future utopia is someone whose utopia has already been proven wrong by history.
Where did I say I believe in a utopia or say Judeo-Christian values were flawless or even say I practiced any religiousity whatsoever?
The most dangerous belief is only the religious defend religion and there is no value of it to anyone but themselves.
This is an issue of cultural values and western civilization is loosing it, particularly the secularization of America, and it's ruination is becoming more clear to anyone with honest eyes as if we're not in a visible moral decline.
@TheJediCharles And when the fuck did I say that YOU were religious? You moron, you're the only one assuming THAT.
I assumed, of course, that you support a religious SOCIETY, otherwise you would not define it as "Judeo-Christian" and it's opposite as "secular". Never said anything beyond that.
Oh don't give me that bullshit. Our apathetic, materialistic evils balance out almost perfectly with the oppressive, sadistic evils of the Biblical Hebrew and Medieval European society, and you know it.
1. Where did I say that you said that I was religious? My every reference to any position was referring to the position and not who has held it. I understand YouTube is full of people who jump to conclusions and you're at the ready to protect yourself from it, but you failed to notice I didn't do that.
2. Where have I been disrespectful to you? Why do you need to sound so hostile? If you intend to have a thoughtful discussion, I'm game. But so far, your end hasn't been held up.
1. You directly said so two comments ago. See, how can I respect someone who ignores the truth whenever it suits them?
2. You never intended to have a thoughtful discussion because you did not expect me to disagree with you. You did not start off by saying thoughtful things. I don't mind a criticism of secularism but I would like it to be supported by evidence, and you haven't offered any evidence-based defense or counterargument to my original examples.
1. Your attempt at quoting me was vague and generalized. Where EXACTLY did I say that you said that I was religious? Direct quote please.
2. Now you're wrong about my motivation. I can handle disagreement because I never expect to change people's minds. I believe in "clarity over agreement." You're confusing a "thoughtful discussion" with the attempt to indoctrinate or "bring people around". Disagree with me. That's great. I only explore WHERE we differ so we have CLARITY.
The only evidence I can provide that I'm interested in an adult, comparison of viewpoints and not an attempt to convert, humiliate or such with anyone is that I never had the chance to say in what ways I AGREE with your statements on religion. You keep making it about this crap we're spinning our wheels in.
Jeez.
Have you ANY interest in starting over? It will require you correct your erroneous assumptions and general unfairly poor attitude towards me.
@TKDdans oh distress, you poor thing! Look at what your country is doing to innocent people across the world. Your soldiers are primed on tv, all little fascist murderers. But I guess if its a white person you really get concerned about their distress. In fact your argument is sheer stupidity as no one is being subjected to distress in this video since the people (apart from the participants pulling the trigger) are actors.
@TKDdans your comment is so funny! unethical? kids are brought up glued to the tv and on violent computer games before going on to join the army which is increasingly based on high tech murder -- look at the recent exposed video of US soldierssounding elated (like little kids) mass murdering ordinary Iraqis and reporters, innocent unsuspecting people who are minding their own business. You might be a psycho major but you're a total dumbass.
Just look at what ppl are willing to do to themselves on "reality TV" why it would be surprising that they would be willing to do much worse to a stranger or some one else, well only a fool would be surprised by that.
I guess I'm strange in that I would think about how the the person would feel and not want to harm them. All this experiment proves is that I'm better than everyone else.
Milgram's experiment was about authority and people's willingness to follow directions when given by figures of authority. The experiment had three phases one in which was done by a man in a lab coat, another done by a secretary type person, and lastly by someone who was just off the street.
Milgram found that the people's willingness decreased as the social situation changed, and figure of authority decreased.
This was done decades ago, and a variation was done a few years ago. It's nothing new and older than you think. It's a basic social psychology experiment. Each generation thinks they started something, when very little is actually new.
@ehcmier I don't think the maker of the documentary thinks he started anything new, since he is basing it on Milgrams previous studies. Sneering is very ugly and your comment is pointless since a generation that's brought up sucking on the teet of corporate media is not going to be aware of Milgram's work of decades ago.
Hey, while we're busy showing the darkest parts of humanity, perhaps someone will take a time to remind this opportunistic filmmaker that the same planes which dropped bombs over Europe, near the end of the war, dropped food for innocents. Humanity is complex: Capable of extreme evil, and extreme good. It all depends on what we encourage, what we call attention to, and this buffoon is not helping.
I'd never agree to that..what where these people thinking?
I guess if they thought the person crazy enough to agree to get strapped in was ready for it...but really what the hell does this prove? how desperate and violent humans are? hasn't war shown them anything?
Wait, so the participants came to the game show, knowing that they would electrocute people, live, for fame? But what they didn't know was that the victims weren't getting killed, they were just actors? What were their reactions when told that it wasn't real? These people need to be sent to a medical institution
OK they're French so after the show they'll claim they were shocking people to gain their trust but they were actually part of Le Resistance and start shaving the heads of all the women in the audience who they say were the real collaborators just like every Frenchman over the age of 12 did after WW2.
Of course it is fake but it shows how stupid humankind can be. This seems to be part of a mind control program.... shows how humans can obey a fucking tv program... we have to wake up, seriously we're just fucking sheeps following what media orders, and whos the owner of the media?. Sad :-(
the point is not whether or not the shocks are fake (Its important obviously but not the point here)...Its that people are ready to follow orders to kill to achieve fame on TV...
In my opinion, its how the consumption society and television can truly dehumanize someone
exactly. people are more and more willilng, to do unbelievably evil things. Wouldn't surprise me if future freedom lovers named as "terrorists" will get this kind of treatment.
I've seen this on TV when it was on the swiss chanels and i'm afraid to see that most of the people who agreeded to come are able to go so far when they receive orders. This is mainly due to the TV pressure and of course MONEY !!
To my mind, there's no point in telling it's because of such and such country. Who knows how we would have reacted if we were invited in this experiment? It's easy to say i wouldn't have done this. Now the thing is, who must be blamed, TV, us or even both ?
every single individual is totally responsible for his actions. if somebody orders you to kill an innocent threatening you, that otherwise you'll be killed, you still have a choice.
the right joice would be: take the gun and shoot down the one ordering you such a thing.
If you enjoyed doing it, than you have no soul. But feeling regret is strong evidence that you do. The situation you posted up was more of a "It's me or him..." idea.
Well only half way. because this isn't a situation where somebody is attacking you with the inention of murdering you. Of course if you kill the attacker in such a situation it is not murder.
But If you have the choice between living because you shot somebody who was helpless or dying while taking at least one of the motherfuckers to hell - I'd definately go for number 2. And that is why, you ALWAYS have a choice.
This show will demonstrate how far the viewers go - to pull the switch / the actor simulates pain - when the viewers are under pressure! I mean the pressure from television, multimedia etc.
The French are super sadistic for creating this game show. Thats how i see it. The minute u start to shock people on a chair for fun is the day where people are gonna say that.
There seems to be a great misunderstanding; nobody is actually being tortured; it is an experiment to see how easily people will torture/kill if they receive orders to do so. The buttons they push are not connected to do anything, as it says in the video the people being tortured are just acting as if they're in pain. In the original experiment a variable was the person who was giving the order to the subjects to torture, as his authority increases so does the likelyhood of listening to him.
What a shame. We talk about the responsibilities of people acting under orders but people are more likely to agree to do immoral things solely for a bit of self-gain. I guess it makes genocides a bit more understandable people are too selfish to think about another's pain. Where is the empathy the compassion? Where is the respect for human life? And don't put this on only the French, this could be replicated in most every culture with television.
prosecute what? it wasn't real torture, there was no actual electricity, the "subject" was just faking...
so, as long as "being desperate for fame and being willing to go against any morals for that" isn't against the law, they can't be prosecuted. I said "willing to..." cause they didn't actually hurt anybody, the "victim" only fakes being electrocuted.
Hmm... proof that please. All I read about it was that it was real indeed. If you're right, the state maybe should not prosecute them, but the law of mankind don't count shit. They're mostly made by the most evil people in this world.
Ther intention was evil nonetheless. So I still wish them hell. Before god it doesn't matter if you want to hurt somebody and fail or you actually succeed. The evil intention is what is judged.
@klauwn17 i don't know where you read that it was real... if you watch the video, you'll notice that they say right there that the guy is only pretending to be electrocuted, he's an actor and faking it.
agree... intention matters... that's why the law also prosecutes "attempt of murder" and not only murder.
you say that when you want to hurt somebody, it doesn't matter if you succeed or not, but the intention... although it's the result of your actions that makes a huge difference in the physical reality.
Two things: If france still claims to be a republic, they should act like one. the makers of the show and the tortures need to be prosecuted. because things like this should never be tolerated in a republic.
To the heartless moderator and the torturers: May you all go to hell you coldhearted perverts. Everything comes back.
Well... you already noticed that there is no REAL torture? It's the famous Milgram-Experiment, wiki it! The man "getting electrical shocked" is an actor.
You can argue, whether this method (to deceive a test candidate) is ethical or not, but that's stupid too, because this way, you just cover up real and important facts concerning human nature.
Eine Schwachsinnsethik, die aus dem Mittelalter stammen könnte, und einem aufgeklärten Europa nicht entspricht!
@klauwn17 : Dude, you would better read more about this reality show, this guy is an actor, and the show is an alarm to our societies where a lot of people have a lil devil inside. so like this at least maybe people get to know about this psychological aspect. awareness is what we need!
Seeing as the french take everything so seriously, they can't invent a normal gameshow like Wheel of Fortune, no it has to have some pseudo-intellectual point. Typical.
Read the title retard. This was just a "game show spoof" based on the Milgram experiments on obedience to authority figures conducted by Yale University back in the 60's...Nice try limey, now go floss your big horse teeth, lol !
took the red pill man, the one for the nerves! you apparently did not undrstand the aim o this experience. " they think that the world is their " WTF ???
the problem with outube is that everybody watch picutres that are not accessible for all brains. You are a typical example.
No matter how many time Milgram's experiment is repeated, it produces the same results: most people would administer enough shocks to kill someone just because someone else is telling them to do it.
What's really interesting is that Milgrams original experiment (which this is an almost exact replica of) has been deemed too unethical to be replicated as a psychological experiment. But if you call it "reality tv", I guess it's a different story. I find it fascinating that Milgram's old experiment - with everything that has been said about it - has been used this way to test how far people will go for fame. And I find it scary that so many of the participants are willing to go that far.
How the fuck can anyone think that this is remotly real when they came on this show?As if anyone is going to go on a game show thinking they are going to electrocute people.
Mind you cant we do this for real with peadophiles and rapists?
The point is not that the victim is an actor, but that the participant believes it is real, and so many are willing to keep administering the shocks all the way to the highest voltage. Check out the original Milgram experiment: it was designed to make the 'teacher' believe that they were administering a lethal shock by the end.
Another interesting study is the Stanford prison experiment, it's worth checking out too...
This was a spoof... But the people flipping the switch were real! This is not a real game show, its a documentary about how easy it is to manipulate people into doing horrific things.
This is a lesson for people to get their head out of the sand and stop blindly following orders! You think the Nazi's were bad, just wait until some one manipulates you to do something tragic and cruel.
@fireshot22 voltage doesn't mean sht. you can take 10 000 volts and be ok. Amperage is what kills. So 380 volts is it enough to kill? No way to know. But most people don't know that, and from the screams they know it's killling the men.
Time and again variants of this experiment show that human ethical development is far too un-evolved for anyone to be trusted with extreme power over strangers. Only biological instincts such as parenting seem to largely safeguard infants in an extremely unequal relationship. But among adults, history and experiments show that government and militaristic power corrupts -- absolutely.

I've seen this on TV when it was on the swiss chanels and i'm afraid to see that most of the people who agreeded to come are able to go so far when they receive orders. This is mainly due to the TV pressure and of course MONEY !!
To my mind, there's no point in telling it's because of such and such country. Who knows how we would have reacted if we were invited in this experiment? It's easy to say i wouldn't have done this. Now the thing is, who must be blamed, TV, us or even both ?

every single individual is totally responsible for his actions. if somebody orders you to kill an innocent threatening you, that otherwise you'll be killed, you still have a choice.
the right joice would be: take the gun and shoot down the one ordering you such a thing.

Then the guy you were ordered to kill stabs you in the back and eats your heart out.

klauwn17 1 year ago
If you enjoyed doing it, than you have no soul. But feeling regret is strong evidence that you do. The situation you posted up was more of a "It's me or him..." idea.
DII117 1 year ago
@DII117
Well only half way. because this isn't a situation where somebody is attacking you with the inention of murdering you. Of course if you kill the attacker in such a situation it is not murder.
But If you have the choice between living because you shot somebody who was helpless or dying while taking at least one of the motherfuckers to hell - I'd definately go for number 2. And that is why, you ALWAYS have a choice.

This show will demonstrate how far the viewers go - to pull the switch / the actor simulates pain - when the viewers are under pressure! I mean the pressure from television, multimedia etc.

There seems to be a great misunderstanding; nobody is actually being tortured; it is an experiment to see how easily people will torture/kill if they receive orders to do so. The buttons they push are not connected to do anything, as it says in the video the people being tortured are just acting as if they're in pain. In the original experiment a variable was the person who was giving the order to the subjects to torture, as his authority increases so does the likelyhood of listening to him.

What a shame. We talk about the responsibilities of people acting under orders but people are more likely to agree to do immoral things solely for a bit of self-gain. I guess it makes genocides a bit more understandable people are too selfish to think about another's pain. Where is the empathy the compassion? Where is the respect for human life? And don't put this on only the French, this could be replicated in most every culture with television.

prosecute what? it wasn't real torture, there was no actual electricity, the "subject" was just faking...
so, as long as "being desperate for fame and being willing to go against any morals for that" isn't against the law, they can't be prosecuted. I said "willing to..." cause they didn't actually hurt anybody, the "victim" only fakes being electrocuted.
MrCroft1983 1 year ago
@MrCroft1983
Hmm... proof that please. All I read about it was that it was real indeed. If you're right, the state maybe should not prosecute them, but the law of mankind don't count shit. They're mostly made by the most evil people in this world.
Ther intention was evil nonetheless. So I still wish them hell. Before god it doesn't matter if you want to hurt somebody and fail or you actually succeed. The evil intention is what is judged.
klauwn17 1 year ago
@klauwn17 i don't know where you read that it was real... if you watch the video, you'll notice that they say right there that the guy is only pretending to be electrocuted, he's an actor and faking it.
MrCroft1983 1 year ago
@klauwn17
agree... intention matters... that's why the law also prosecutes "attempt of murder" and not only murder.
you say that when you want to hurt somebody, it doesn't matter if you succeed or not, but the intention... although it's the result of your actions that makes a huge difference in the physical reality.

Two things: If france still claims to be a republic, they should act like one. the makers of the show and the tortures need to be prosecuted. because things like this should never be tolerated in a republic.

Well... you already noticed that there is no REAL torture? It's the famous Milgram-Experiment, wiki it! The man "getting electrical shocked" is an actor.
You can argue, whether this method (to deceive a test candidate) is ethical or not, but that's stupid too, because this way, you just cover up real and important facts concerning human nature.

No matter how many time Milgram's experiment is repeated, it produces the same results: most people would administer enough shocks to kill someone just because someone else is telling them to do it.
That is a scary fact.
Flaxxseed 1 year ago 9
What's really interesting is that Milgrams original experiment (which this is an almost exact replica of) has been deemed too unethical to be replicated as a psychological experiment. But if you call it "reality tv", I guess it's a different story. I find it fascinating that Milgram's old experiment - with everything that has been said about it - has been used this way to test how far people will go for fame. And I find it scary that so many of the participants are willing to go that far.

Docs209 1 year ago
The point is not that the victim is an actor, but that the participant believes it is real, and so many are willing to keep administering the shocks all the way to the highest voltage. Check out the original Milgram experiment: it was designed to make the 'teacher' believe that they were administering a lethal shock by the end.
Another interesting study is the Stanford prison experiment, it's worth checking out too...
