Saying research is unimportant is like saying humans don't need air to breathe. Every product created had some type of research done to make sure it would be effective and safe. For instance look at the medical field. We have all had to have shots in our lives, so just think what would have happened to us if scientists/doctors etc. put random concoctions together that seemed logical. That example is a little out of the box but there are so many other examples out there.

The Stanley Milgram: Obedience to Authority Or Just Conformity? article caught my attention for research related articles. It doesn't necessarily have an extreme or really significant relevance or importance to my life but it's still pretty interesting. In my own personal opinion I believe people over the years have lost open mindedness and the simple thought of being original. In this article Stanley took it to a whole other level. Milgram wanted to know how far humans will go when an authority type figure orders them to hurt another human being, this not only including those in armed forces, but the day to day ordinary people being coerced into carrying out cruel acts. It was so intriguing to me for the simple fact she analyzed the simplicity of conformity, authority, and closed minded factors to prove more than one point.

I didn't quite learn anything more than what I already knew about research and why it's important. Another thing would be the intensity of psychological research. I knew that alone is a lot of work, and time but if anything it just opened my mind to another level of what I already understood and to see another side.
