Purpose

The Bystander effect proves that your chance of receiving help from someone increases as the number of people available to help decreases. The Milgram Experiment proves that people would commit horrendous actions simply because they are following orders, and the Asch Experiment proves the you can manipulate ones decisions by means of group conformity, but what does it mean? Why are these experiments famous and for what purpose do they qualify for? Are these experiments for means of entertainment or can they be applied in real life? The answer is both. These are not simply experiments. One can read a book and take it literal and interpret exactly what and only what the words in the book say. One has to look beyond the words and see how they relate to society. These experiments portray human emotions. Characters in a movie have distinct behaviors, but share common instincts. A movie wouldn't be realistic if the characters acted in bizarre ways during the course of certain events that no human would act. We all have a common brain structure and that is why human behaviors can be studied as a whole instead of individually. This is why Shakespeare writings are so critically acclaimed. This is why events can be accurately predicted. The purpose of these experiments is just so that one can learn identify them in any way, shape, or form they come in, and put them to good use.
