Chapter 1:
This chapter is about Lauren Slater going over who B.F. Skinner is. Skinner is famous and known for the controversial experiments he has performed. The chapter starts off with Skinner in a negative tone then becomes more positive. Personally, I found this chapter to be confusing. The structure/order of it bothered me and was a pain to keep up with. Also, Skinner sounds creepy to me, but that's my own fault I'm sure.
Chapter 2:
This chapter focuses bit on Stanley Milgram's Obedience experiment. This chapter was far easier to understand but still had faults to it (in my opinion anyway). Given the fact that I have read Obedience to Authority, I was able to have a good background about the Obedience experiments talked about in this chapter. It is sad to see what became of Stanley Milgrams career due to the experiments.
