"Ordinary people, simply doing their jobs, and without any particular hostility on their part, can become agents in a terrible destructive process. Moreover, even when the destructive effects of their work become patently clear, and they are asked to carry out actions incompatible with fundamental standards of morality, relatively few people have the resources needed to resist authority"
-Stanley Milgram

To think that the results would probably the same today...

Thank you for providing link of background of the quote. Milgram's experiment proved that even the most horrible crimes can be executed under circumstance of 'Just following orders'. Human morality can easily bypassed by society's authority. This is a great lesson.
