Part III: Milgram Experiment Reflection

The Milgram Experiment was all about seeing to what extent or threshold people would follow directions from an authority figure. Give an example in your own life where you are expected to "just follow directions" without questioning an authority figure. This can be at home, in school, on the sports field in the greater context of society. In a paragraph form answer the following questions: 
​1) What is the activity and who is considered the "authority figure" for this activity?
2) What are the directions or actions you are expected to follow?
3) What would be the consequence for not following directions?
​4) What would happened if you "questioned" the authority figure or told them you didn't want to continue with the activity? 

Be sure to answer in complete sentences in the Digital Attendance Form down below.
