Throughout the film Image Before My Eyes, directed by Josh Waletzky, viewers are shown videos, pictures, and interviews regarding European Jewry from the late 1910’s to the 1930’s. Though this is a film explaining the events and upheavals that led up to the Holocaust, the word Holocaust is rarely ever mentioned. It is through the use of multimedia in this film that the devastating history of the Holocaust becomes illuminated. The film allows the viewer to begin to fathom the destructive events that occurred between the two World Wars as well as the secularization of daily life for Jews throughout this time period.

Milgrams obedience experiment is a series of famous social psychology experiments. The experiments sought to elucidate and measure the subjects' willingness to obey an authority who instructs the subject to perform acts that a person would not normally like to perform for reasons of conscience (Zimbardo, 2007). One of the Milgram experiment aims was to investigate obedience and authority, in the impact on a subject's ability to harm another person (Zimbardo, 2007). The experiment involved three participants. A facilitator and an actor who played a volunteer, then a subject, who voluntarily agreed to participate. The actor and the subject were then assigned different roles in the experiment trough a draw, one as a teacher and one as a learner. The draw was arranged so that the subject always came to be the teacher, and so the subject always had the impression that he and the actor had the same voluntary status. Milgram then separated the teacher and the learner using a wall. Then the teacher was told to give the student questions, and with each wrong answer the teacher would administer a shock which strength would increase for every wrong answer. As the voltage of the shocks was increased, the learner complained more vociferously and eventually became silent. The longer the test went on more of the subjects requested to abort and see how the learner was doing, but was then persuaded by the facilitator to continue. The majority of the subjects came to the stage of distributing

Under the guise of an 'imitation study ' 98 participants were recruited (MQ students) (18-50 years, 72 female, 26 male). The study set out to test responses to confederates feigning “real” disease signs (influenza), “false alarms” (birthmarks), and to a healthy control. Participants were asked to imitate tasks performed by confederates who were shown in video clips. The imitation involved props, and participants were requested to perform the imitation while they watched the confederate perform the action via video.

During the beginning of the trials, Hamza, Willoughby, and Armiento will try to induce stress into the participants, by giving the participants 4 minutes to prepare a short speech about whether the government should enforce the death penalty. The participants were to be placed in front of a video camera during their one-minute speech and their live image was displayed and recorded on a small TV screen. Participants were told that their speech would be shown to a group of their peers, who then would evaluate how well the speech was delivered and how well the participants’ arguments were. To ensure that the participants were actually stressed they were asked to indicate how stressed they were before and after the first stress task on a scale of 1 (very slightly or not at all) to 5 (extremely). After the participants completed the first stress task and answered their questionnaires about how stressed they were, the participants were finally administered the cold-pressor task, in which participants placed their non-dominant hand up to the wrist into a cold

Obedience to authority is ingrained in us all from the way we are brought up. It raised many ethical issues, the first being deception. The participants of the experiment genuinely believed they were shocking a real person and were unaware the learner was a colleague of Milgram’s. However, in Milgram’s defence, he argues that illusion was necessary in order to “set the stage for the revelation of certain difficult-to-get-at-truths.” He interviews participants after the experiment, 83.7% stated they were glad to be in the experiment, and 1.3% said they wished they had not been

In the video , Psychologist Milgram experimented on human behavior and their obedience to authority. Showing examples of regular, everyday civilians,volunteering to take an experiment on whether they would get questions right or wrong. With this type of experiment comes consequences where they would be shocked by a "shock generator" which elevates in voltage the more answers that are answered wrong,the higher the voltage goes. In the experiment Milgram wanted to prove that humans will suffer pain behind their belief of the level of authority that an individual upholds. Knowing each question that they may answer could possibly become wrong,the consciously continue in the state of conflict of whether they should proceed on with the experiment or stop. Also, not only does the volunteers continue to take on the abuse of this experiment but their was some Psychologist that continued with the experiment,even when it became dangerous. One man in the video expressed that he has a heart condition,yet and stillcontinued to go on with the experiment and the Psycholist agreed,without any hesitations for health of this older male gentleman.

In an obedience experiment run by Bryony Sheppard Psychology, participants were told to obey a sign on a washroom door in a high school that read “Exam in Progress. Do Not Enter”. Every participant was given the same speech, and were informed “informing them they has taken place in an experiment, what the experiment was testing, what their results showed, informed that they had been filmed and getting consent to use it later on and also (if participant entered) they were ensured that they were not that only ones that did it and it was an expected result”. 89% of the individuals involved in the experiment did not open the door, despite it not making any sense to them; they followed the direction of the sign. The conclusion was that signs, whether

Therefore, her demonstration was a nonverbal cue that increased the accuracy and quality of the message. It also made it less complicated for the audience to analyze and criticize her argument. Another example of verbal and nonverbal cue is repeating “exercise is the most transformative thing” with a certain tone. The use of repetition reinforced her message especially because she regulated the rate at which she was speaking for the audience to follow along. Overall, the Suzuki’s style of speech, verbal and nonverbal cues helped the audience understand her reseasoning

The image depicts a motor cycle repair shop during the 1920’s, with rental rooms available next to the motor cycle shop. The age of the image can be determined through certain factors seen on the image. The first are the three motor cycles shape and size, which depict a design used during the First World War. The window panes advertisements on both the motor cycle shop and the plaza rental flats also date bake to the same period as this made advertisement cheaper. The photograph is also black and white which another clue is since collared photographs only began being produced commercially during after the 1950’s.

The Treachery of Images is currently on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. This surrealist painting illustrates a pipe, and a phrase that says, "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" French for "This is not a pipe”. Magritte sought to relay to the spectator that the painting itself is not a pipe; it is merely an image of a

Attitudes follow behavior and this can be shown in one experiment known as the Milgram Obedience Experiment. The experiment followed the behavior roles of “student” and “teacher” and the obedience that inevitably follows. Researchers enrolled the use of an actor to pretend to be shocked meanwhile the volunteer subject’s role was to ask these “students” a question and when, if the question was wrong, would flip a switch and volts of electricity would commence. The switches varied from “slight shock” to “moderate shock” to “danger: severe shock” to an ominous “XXX”. The experimenter would sit and look upon the volunteer and make sure they followed through. Some volunteers refused to go through with the experiment. However, many stayed through the experiment with the experimenter telling them over and over that they must continue to shock the ‘student’. Although this displayed evidence for obedience of individuals it also shows that individuals are able to follow through with small actions such as the “slight shock” or “moderate shock” and work their way up towards the larger actions of “danger: severe shock” to “XXX”. In addition, this role-play of teacher and student can affect how a person is able to think based on this action.

In today's world, we rely on imagery to provide us with important information pertaining to the things surrounding us and have additionally developed the ability to read these images and understand their meanings in order to make sense of the world. Images have come to dominate our lives, not only in terms of providing us with essential information, but by allowing us to engage in creative expression to convey emotions and generate renditions of everyday life and its components. Without images and the ability to understand them, our world would become unrecognizable and nearly impossible to live in. Yet, at one point in our archaic past, our world was void of pictorial images, up until approximately 35,000 years ago during a period that archeologists

I chose to analyze the case study, Tug Of War that was written by Yossi Sheffi and is found in the Harvard Business Review.

Through the use of reflection, one has the capability to do or become something great. In the Untitled image, this is represented by the man holding the hand of his younger self in a forest of paint brush trees. In brief, the trees represent his personal development throughout the years, as the growth of a tree embodies the growth of an individual. This is due to the fact that a tree must reflect on how it has grown in the past to continue growing taller in the future. An example of this is shown when a tree is crooked near the roots, but over the years has used its strength to straighten its trunk and become a more stabilized organism. In contrast, the same idea happens in humans in which an individual may have a hardship in life, but through
