    Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, many Americans donated time and money to help the devastated community in New York, illustrating altruism. According to Milgram's study of obedience, even ordinary people who are not usually hostile can become agents of destruction when placed in certain situations. Milgram's obedience experiments were controversial because the "teachers" were deceived and frequently subjected to severe stress by being told to deliver electric shocks to "learners" during the experiment. In Milgram's experiments, "teachers" were most likely to deliver high levels of shock when the "learner" was in a different room, so they did not directly see the effects of their actions.
