Introduction:

This movie analysis will focus on the movie 12 Angry Men. There will be comparisons between the movie and the different negotiation tactics used in the movie and even in class. There were lessons learned from this movie and it gave new ways of thinking. This movie does a great job of using negotiation to win over a case when you are the odd man out.

Summary:

This movie focuses on a jury deliberating a first-degree murder charge on an eighteen year old boy. The boy is accused of stabbing his father to death. If found guilty of the charges, the eighteen year old boy will face the death sentence. There are many reasons as to why the boy looks guilty. He has a weak alibi, he claims to have lost the knife he bought, which was the same knife found at the murder scene, and there are witness’s saying they either saw the killing or saw the boy leaving the apartment. Out of the twelve jurors, eleven of them think the boy is guilty, except one. This is juror number eight. He claims he just does not know if the boy is guilty or not guilty, and wants to talk. The entire juror’s quickly begin naming all the reasons why the boy is guilty. For each reason, juror number eight questions each reasoning the other jurors bring up. He states a lot in the movie “is it possible?” This question starts to put doubt in the other

    With eleven of his peers convinced of the accused’s guilt, Juror 8 faced the daunting task of not only persuading the jurors to move past their initial inclinations and prejudices, but also compelling them to deliberate the case in the full interest of justice. In doing so, the first piece of evidence he called into question was the murder weapon itself. According to the prosecution, the boy had bought it the night of the murder after being beaten repeatedly by his abusive father. They then claimed he had showed it off to some friends, headed back home to stab his father, and then finally returned a couple hours later to be arrested by the police. Also called into question was the testimony of the owner of the store from which the boy bought the knife. He not only attested to the fact…

    The movie Twelve Angry Men begins with an eighteen year old boy from the ghetto who is on trial for the murder of his abusive father. A jury of twelve men is locked in the deliberation room to decide the fate of the young boy. All evidence is against the boy and a guilty verdict would send him to die in the electric chair. The judge informs the jurors that they are faced with a grave decision and that the court would not entertain any acts of mercy for the boy if found guilty. The mood is apparent at first when the majority of the men vote "guilty" and it almost seems as this man's fate is sealed. Juror #8 was the only man to vote for "not guilty".…

    Through verbal and nonverbal communication, the one lonely juror convinced the other eleven men of the young man's innocence. One can never underestimate the power of persuasion; even in the face of extreme prejudice, bias, ignorance, and conflicting personalities the juror persevered. Juror number eight was clever, cunning, and persuasive in his arguments for a not guilty verdict. He was able to point out the inconsistencies of eyewitnesses and the lackadaisical representation of the court appointed attorney provided. The turning point for juror number eight’s argument came when he reenacted the scene of the murder to prove that the eyewitness could not have made the journey from his bedroom to the hallway in fifteen seconds. The jury came back with a not guilty verdict due to the unrelenting juror who believed in the innocence of one man.…

    Throughout the twelve jurors discussion we learn the facts of the case. We learn that there are two important witnesses to the case that state that they either heard the murder take place or that they witnessed the boy kill his father. However the boy claims that he was at the movies when his father was killed. The jurors struggle to believe him as no one can verify that he was at the movies or can the boy remember what movie or characters where in the movie he saw that night. Therefore, this makes the defendants case harder to believe. Eventually juror # 8 persuades all eleven jurors that there is a doubt that the boy did not kill his father and therefore should not be sentenced to death. This was a…

    Whether or not we are aware of it, each of us is faced with an abundance of conflict each and every day. From the division of chores within a household, to asking one's boss for a raise, we've all learned the basic skills of negotiation. A national bestseller, Getting to Yes, introduces the method of principled negotiation, a form of alternative dispute resolutions as opposed to the common method of positional bargaining. Within the book, four basic elements of principled negotiation are stressed; separate the people from the problem, focus on interests instead of positions, invest options for mutual gain, and insist on using objective criteria. Following this section of the book are suggestions for problems that may occur and finally a conclusion. In this journal entry I will be taking a closer look at each of the elements, and critically analyse the content; ultimately, I aim to briefly bring forth the pros and cons of Getting to Yes.…
