Short History of April Fool’s Day
According to The Huffington Post:“The reason the date is so closely associated with comedy largely has to do with the long-standing feud between the English and the French. Historians claim that on this day in 1789, after the French people deposed King Louis XVI, King George III of England made an historic joke, which continued the tradition to this day.He pretended to step down.After renouncing the monarchy the streets were filled with peasants celebrating new-found “freedom.” Hundreds were quickly arrested and imprisoned.It was quite possibly the best prank of all time.”

Lessons from the Conformity and Obedience Studies
In both Asch's and Milgram's studies, participants were pressured to choose between following their standards and
being responsive to others.
In Milgram’s study, participants were torn between hearing the victims pleas
and the experimenter’s orders.
