The psychology concept I think I will remember five years from now is the whole idea of environmental pressures making people do things that they know are wrong. Just watching those experiments really shook me up with the shocking of the learners at gradually higher voltage for wrong answers to see how far the "teacher" would go. I was just so shocked that such a high percentage of people continued giving higher voltages until it reached the level that would have killed a person.
However, I do not know why I am so shocked when Hitler proved that environmental pressure could be a successful way of killing years ago. I guess what this really taught me was to never underestimate environmental pressures and what they can do to someone. Especially the ones who we least expect it. At the end of the day I hope we can overcome environmental pressures and not be afraid to do what we think is right.

Your right that environmental pressures can cause us to do terrible things, but it also shows you the importance of being able to think for yourself and to know what is morally right and wrong. At the same time, I could see it being hard for people in Germany in WW2 standing up for what was right because they would've been putting themselves in great danger.
I agree that this is by far one of the most fascinating concepts to understand. How can one person influence so many others, and to what extent? The fact that just a little pressure from someone in a white coat could cause 62% of people to place deadly volts on another blew my mind. It makes me think a lot about what I have given into due to pressure. It also makes me more skeptical about current situations I could potentially face; defiantly taught me to stick to my morals!
