It Is Not So Much The Kind

The Essence In Obedience Consists In The Fact That A Person Comes To View Himself As An Instrument For Carrying Out Another Person's Wishes And He Therefore No Longer Regards Himself As Responsible For His Actions.

The Disappearance Of A Sense Of Responsibility Is The Most Far-reaching Consequence Of Submission To Authority.

It Is Not So Much The Kind Of Person A Man Is As The Kind Of Situation In Which He Finds Himself That Determines How He Will Act.

Each Individual Possesses A Conscience Which To A Greater Or Lesser Degree Serves To Restrain The Unimpeded Flow Of Impulses Destructive To Others. But When He Merges His Person Into An Organizational Structure, A New Creature Replaces Autonomous Man, Unhindered By The Limitations Of Individual Morality, Freed Of Humane Inhibition, Mindful Only Of The Sanctions Of Authority.

Only In Action Can You Fully Realize The Forces Operative In Social Behavior. That Is Why I Am An Experimentalist.
