ANSWER

I feel like if I had been given the opportunity to be the teacher now, there is no way I would have moved past like the first three shock levels. I would have questioned it to start, maybe even suggested an alternative method of punishment. I may have been persuaded up until the person yelped the first time. I absolutely would not have went past that. I would have gotten quite argumentative with the experimenter.  I would refuse as a nurse. Then just as a human being in general.…..please click the icon below to purchase the answer at $5
