A Most Human Enterprise

Download or read book A Most Human Enterprise written by Donald Granberg and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Case studies include the infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Study, the well-known pseudo-prison work of Philip Zimbardo, the obedience research of Stanley Milgram, and the study of sex in public places by sociologist Laud Humphreys. Many of the studies that were most damaging to human subjects were funded by government, making the current concerns of university Institutional Review Boards seem ironic. A Most Human Enterprise also investigates consequences of plagiarism in the social sciences, the role that whistle blowers can play, and the consequences of their acts.
