Argues that, therefore, a laboratory is not the appropriate place to conduct an experiment on this topic. Although Baumrind's statement contains some truth, whether or not the subject obeyed was not the focus of Milgram's experiment. He wanted to see to what extent the subjects obeyed. Just because the subjects were in an environment where obedience is appropriate does not mean that the extent to which they were obedient is irrelevant to human nature. For example, if a teacher tells a student to harm a classmate, the level of obedience shown by the student is still relevant to society as a whole. Just because the student is in an environment where obedience is more appropriate does not mean that the degree to which that student is obedient is not important.

For example, despite killing millions of people, Adolf Eichmann remained mentally unharmed because, in his mind, he simply obeyed. This shows that humans as a species are more than capable of committing deplorable acts under the guise of obedience to authority. Even though Milgram's methods were immoral, society now realizes that too much obedience is not beneficial, but in reality
