Building utopian communities
The key findings of the five monkeys experiment showed that social norms and behaviors can be passed down through generations even if the reasons behind them are no longer relevant. This experiment highlighted the influence of social learning and conformity in shaping behavior, leading to a better understanding of how social dynamics can impact individual actions.

Answer this question… Violence is necessary to create major social change.
In the 5 monkey experiment, monkeys were conditioned to avoid a certain behavior by being punished when they did it. Over time, new monkeys were introduced and old monkeys were replaced, but the punishment continued. Eventually, none of the monkeys knew why they were avoiding the behavior, but they continued to do so because of the group's influence. This experiment showed how social norms and behaviors can be passed down and maintained within a group, even if the original reason for them is no longer valid. It highlighted the power of social influence and the importance of questioning and understanding the origins of our behaviors.

Solomon Asch's experiment on group conformity demonstrated the powerful influence of group pressure on individual decision-making. Participants were swayed by the incorrect responses of others, even when it went against their own judgment. This highlighted the importance of social influence and the tendency to conform to group norms.

Robert Owen demonstrated his ideas about socialism by founding the utopian community of New Harmony in Indiana in 1825. Owen hoped to create a communal society based on cooperative living and equality, where residents could work together for the common good. While New Harmony ultimately failed as a long-term experiment, it influenced later social movements and experiments in communal living.
