Unless otherwise noted, do not consult outside resources to shape your answers. Answer questions using only the material you read in the chapter and your personal knowledge/experience/opinions. I want to know your thoughts and ideas. Evidence of the use of outside sources in your original post will result in a zero on the assignment. If, after posting your discussion, you would like to investigate a topic further using an outside source and share that information (with appropriate citations and references provided using APA formatting) as a reply post, that is also welcome and encouraged.An explanation of how discussions are graded is provided at the bottom of this page.Option A:Reflect on the reading about power.

Then watch the next video which is a more modern conformity experiment, and think about the “real-life” implications of this experiment.Asch Studies:Link (Links to an external site.)Conformity experiment:Link (Links to an external site.)After watching the videos, answer the below questions:From your perspective, taken together, what are some “real-life” implications of these studies?
