] Thirty years ago, they were wide-eyed, first-year graduate ] students, ordered by their iconoclastic professor, Dr. ] Stanley Milgram, to venture into the New York City subway ] to conduct an unusual experiment. ] ] Their assignment: to board a crowded train and ask ] someone for a seat. Then do it again. And again. I love Milgram. Just for fun, look up his obedience study sometime. (Can you tell I'm back in school? Psych major...) But anyhow, this raises a very important question.. Are you tough enough to ask someone to give up their seat on the subway? Apparently the thought scared even Milgram... 'Excuse Me. May I Have Your Seat?' |
