Milgram's Experiment

Milgram's Experiment is a perfect example of what Agency Theorists believe. It can probably be bent to be viewed both ways. To a believer of the Universal Causality theory, the one in authority is a cause, and his actions and words are the cause. To an Agency Theorist, the intellectual being that is in authority is the cause, and not his actions. It is his persona that makes the test subjects do those things, and not the actions or words.
This may be argued to both sides, but Milgram's experiment viewed by Agency Theorists is viewed that it is simply not the action, but the person that causes the test subjects to perform such actions. On the other hand, perhaps even the test subjects themselves were not an event, but ALSO an action of free will, simply influenced by another intellectual being. An intellectual being being influenced by another intellectual being, so it is not an example of the cause and effect, because Agency Theorists believe that first part to be true, but not ALL actions are from an event. An intellectual being that makes an action would be BOTH the ones in authority and the test subject. It is the subject's free will to SUBMIT to such authority.
