Stanley Milgram's experiments on obedience are the focus of Theodore Dalrymple and Ian Parker. Theodore Dalrymple is a British doctor who wrote 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, asserting that one 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 experience as a major factor and how the experiment progresses to avoid further results. Dalrymple uses real-life events to convey his argument while Parker illustrates the professors' logic to express his point of view. Dalrymple begins his essay by stating that some people view opposition to authority as principled and also romantic (254). The social worker Dalrymple mentions on the plane with him is a great example of how some people can be naturally opposed to authority, but she quickly grants the pilot the authority to fly the plane (255). Dalrymple also mentions studying under a doctor and that Dalrymple would listen to her because she had much greater knowledge than he did (256). Ian Parker writes his essay explaining the logical failure of Stanley Milgram's experiment and exposes other aspects of the experiment. One of his points is the location of the situation which he describes as inevitable (238). Parker's article also covers how Milgram's experience affected his career; the experience played a role in Milgram's inability to gain the full support of Harvard professors to obtain a position (234). Dalrymple states that he obeyed his superior because she knew his work better (256). The Milgram Experiment demonstrates how ordinary people act toward authority in certain situations. Dalrymple uses this point accurately when describing the case where a boy is reported for trying to steal a car, and then the parents start yelling at the guards. The guards began to stop reporting the children because they wanted to avoid conflict (257). Parker agrees with Dalrymple in explaining that the experimenter hints at conflict when the teacher wants to stop the experiment, but is reluctant to rebel 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).
