How far will people "go along to get along"? Day three at The Human Zoo finds yesterday's winning team in command of the losers, a difficult situation that sparks a bitter clash of wills that ends with the underdogs turning the tables on their oppressors. Using the Zoo crew as a case study, this program investigates the strange power of obedience. In addition, other researchers perform experiments that reveal how easily authority, when viewed as infallible, can lead people into errors of judgment and antisocial behavior. Footage of Stanley Milgram's controversial obedience experiment at Yale University is provided as well.
