Marginalization is on the lo Cultural Imperialism is when taking another cultures norm and establishing it into another culture. It explains how society has built on there culture, ad what it does to take it to a certain level.

In 1961 Stanley Milgram created a test, it consisted of a patient that would get electrically shocked up to 450 volts. The paitents were volunteers, when got there they were told that they would be part of a different test that they were supposedly going in for. The experiment was going to be based on memory and the punishment would be recieving elctric shock. The purpose was to see how the person would learn. The teacher would give the other client (seating in the chair connected to the wire of volts) questions. If the client answered the questions wrong the teacher was forced to increase the lithinal shock. The point of the experiment was to see if the teacher will stop the test or if they will continue to follow the orders of the professor, the teacher's believed they were advancing in science. Some of the teacher's were able to continue, some felt remorse, other's just continued without even thinking. One of the teacher's ignored and continued the process knowing that in the back the client was in pain. 9/12 people had gone up to 450 volts with there client, the teacher's believed that the wouldn't hurt the client as much. 1/12, teacher Phillp couldn't continue with the test , because he knew it wasn't right and that he wa shis choice.
