             Once they meet the experimenter he explains that this experiment is based on punishment
             and learning. Then the players are separated and seated in their positions. The "Learner" is
             put in a room and sat in a chair hooked up to an electrode. His hands are strapped in to

             If he makes a mistake then he will receive shocks of electric of "increasing intensity" (para 4).
             The teacher is then told (after he watches the "learner" get strapped down) that he will
