This should be Milgram. Which is basically, in laymen's terms, an epxeriment that proves that on average 90% of all people will obey an authoritative leader without question even if the leader's orders are profoundly against the obeyer's conscious on what is right and what is wrong.
The 'Milgram Experiment' after the professor Stanley Milgram, was conducted in the early 60's at Yale. Controversially the results pointed to the fact that even under slightly related circumstances, we as Americans would have done the same thing as the German citizens during WWII and obeyed our government's orders despite them drastically violating our self morals, a significant percentage would actually be proud or excited to comply with such 'dirty' commands. For example, torture and kill. We would overcome our own morals and accomplish the objective no matter how horrible because we mentally trick ourselves into believing the outcome, no matter how disturbing, is okay. Reasoning to ourselves because our leading figured said it was and that he/she/they would take any repercussions.
Now it's the Miligram device all over again.
