The author's premise was that we know so much about how to convince people to conform (like in the Stanford Prison Experiment and the Milgrim Electric Shock Experiment as well as in totalitarian societies, etc) but we don't know much about what makes people say no (like the people you mention during the Holocaust who at their own personal risk, helped the Jews).Stefaniehttp://somanybooksblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215036862051955994.post-71901335026222232072012-02-20T10:39:17.035-10:002012-02-20T10:39:17.035-10:00Stefanie: Many thanks.
