Stanley Milgram's experiments in obedience are the focus of Theodore Dalrymple and Ian Parker. Theodore Dalrymple is a British doctor who composed his views on the Milgram experiment with "Just Do What the Pilot Tells You" in the New Statesman in July 1999 (254). He distinguishes between blind obedience and blind disobedience by stating that the extreme of either is not good and that a healthy balance between the two is necessary. On the other hand, Ian Parker is a British writer who wrote "Obedience" for an issue of Granta in the fall of 2000. He discusses the location of the experiment as an important factor and how the experiment proceeds to prevent further results. Dalrymple uses real life events to convey his argument while Parker exemplifies the professors' logic to make his point. Dalrymple begins his essay by stating that some people view opposition to authority as a matter of principle and even romantic (254). The social worker Dalrymple mentions on the plane with him is a great example of how some people can be naturally averse to authority, but she quickly grants authority to the pilot to fly the plane (255). Dalrymple also mentions her studies with a doctor and that Dalrymple would listen to her because she had much greater knowledge than him (256). Ian Parker writes his essay explaining the failed logic of Stanley Milgram's experiment and exposes other aspects of the experiment. One of his points is the position of the situation which he describes as inevitable (238). Another focus of Parker's article is how Milgram's experiment affected his career; the experiment played a role in Milgram's failure to acquire the full support of Harvard professors to earn tenure (234). Dalrymple states that she obeyed her superior because she was more knowledgeable about her work (256). Milgram's experiment demonstrates how ordinary people behave towards authority in certain situations. Dalrymple uses this point accurately when describing when a kid gets reported for trying to steal a car and then the parents keep yelling at the guards. The guards began to stop reporting the children because they wanted to avoid conflict all together (257). Parker agrees with Dalrymple by explaining that the experimenter alludes to conflict when the teacher wants to stop the experiment, but stumbles and rebels when told to continue (238). Parker's solution is to give teachers a button to press when they are no longer able to continue the experiment (238).
