Milgram's experiment demonstrates the importance of norms in human behavior because as the goal in the experiment is to have someone give up their seat voluntarily to a younger person with no illness as anyone would give up their seat to an elderly. Societal norms and signs in the public transit are visual to follow to give up your seat if there is a pregnant woman, a person with a wheelchair/ disabled, child and when these norms are acted against it sets the person up for discomfort, being embarrassed and guilty for not following the norm on transit.
A possible situation that a researcher might use instead of the subway request would be instead of asking for the seat to sit down, ask for a seat to put your bag on, whether it be a big or small bag.
