Screensite
ScreenSite emerged from a desire to provide access to film and television resources through the World Wide Web. Its primary purpose is to facilitate the study of film/TV. As opposed to some Web sites that take more of a fan's approach to the media, ScreenSite stresses the teaching and research of film and television and is designed for educators and students.

WWW Virtual Library: Sociology
Sociology is the study of the issues, concepts, investigations, and results of individuals living together. While Sociology's focus is on groups, this focus should not exclude an emphasis on individuals. Afterall, individuals constitute groups and groups produce individuals. How can we study and fully understand one without the other? Nor can we study them as if they were merely in competition with each other. Rather, as a study of people...by people...Sociology is a personal encounter with the Social Forces which shape our lives, especially those that affect our awareness (and ignorance) of how we create, maintain, and change those very Social Forces.
Although Stanley Milgram was clearly a pyschologist, at least by profession, his work transcends that discipline quite clearly. Call it social psychology or sociology...what does it matter? This experiment clearly involves "social relations" between people...generated by the social conditions of the situation...and that's enough for THIS sociologist...:))
Below you will find a number of links to sites dealing with this controversial experiment. Some deal with Milgram and others with the experiment itself. The "ethics" of experiments like this is woven into all of them. Take a careful look...for there but by the grace of...go you/I?
