They would draw to find out who is the "teacher" and "learner" in the situation. The draw was fixed to make sure that the participate was chosen to be the "teacher". Milgram was interested in researching how far people would go in obeying an instructan if it involved harming a person. The learner and teacher were then placed in two different rooms. The learner was hooked onto a machine that would send volts out to the body which was controlled by the teacher. The teacher was told to send a shock whenever the learner made a mistake. The learner was given questions to answer, and with the experiment the learner would purposely answer some of them wrong. The findings were: 1) That ordinary people tended to follow orders given by authority 2) People tended to listen to authority if they were familiar or recognized them for being good, as in morally good.
