Moral Development

1973 28m

Examines two opposing theories of moral development, that of Lawrence Kohlberg who believes that there are stages of moral development tied to cognitive development, and that of the learning theorists who contend that moral behaviour like all behaviour is learned, and that reasons for actions are irrelevant. Using Dr Stanley Milgrim’s famous obedience experiment each of the six stages of moral reasoning is represented in this film, one at a time, by six different participants. The stages differ in the types of reasons a person gives for making a decision about a moral dilemma and in the type of concern the person shows for the self, society, and authority.

Experimenter

Yale University, 1961. Stanley Milgram designs a psychology experiment that still resonates to this day, in which people think they’re delivering painful electric shocks to an affable stranger strapped into a chair in another room. Despite his pleads for mercy, the majority of subjects don’t stop the experiment, administering what they think is a near-fatal electric shock, simply because they’ve been told to do so. With Nazi Adolf Eichmann’s trial airing in living rooms across America, Milgram strikes a nerve in popular culture and the scientific community with his exploration into people’s tendency to comply with authority. Celebrated in some circles, he is also accused of being a deceptive, manipulative monster, but his wife Sasha stands by him through it all.
