12 angry men
Through our discussion, we decided to choose proposed dabate1, 2 & 6. Following are our responses for these questions.
Proposed debate 1: Is there a manager(s) in the group? Is there a leader(s) in the group? If yes, discuss and describe them vis-à-vis our class discussions and course readings.
Through our discussion, we think there are three leaders and one manager in this movie, the manager is the 1st judger, and the 3rd, 8th & 10th judgers are the leaders. The following is our description for them.
Firstly, for the 1st judger, we thought him as a manager. Because from the outset, he performed the manager's role very well, made the ballot for everybody, drew up the rules, statements of rights and responsibilities of each person, and safeguard the rights of each person at real-time. We think that he arrange every step for this jury meeting. As he is a coach in a university football team, he has a very extraordinary organizing ability, and when the talk fall into dilemma, he can guide all into right path. And his career has also made him had a trait that not jumping to conclusions, never admit defeat until the last moment.
Secondly, for the 3rd judger, we thought he is leader in the part which supported the “guilty”. Because he is not shy to express his ideas, can put forward some forceful evidence to support his point and he is also a confidence and optimistic guy. But for his behaviors, we don’t think he is a nice guy. Because, in the sixth round of the voting progress, his offensive behavior by blaming the 12th juror and forced him to cast a “guilty” vote. In fact, he forced others to vote the “guilty”. This tough attitude and even elderly rude made him debate with others all the time which eventually led to the collapse of his allies.
For the 8th judger, as he is an architect, and under the influence of his job nature, he has a rigorous thought, he can analysis every detail very carefully. And during the first voting progress, only he doubted the whole

    Gentlemen of the jury, we have gathered to decide the fate of a boy, a life or death decision. This is a responsibility that must not be taken lightly, a guilty child born into a corrupt system shouldn’t be culled due to the ignorance and failure to achieve the justice he deserves. This boy, who is in good health, and should live to a good age, will come to a permanent end. In my many years of law it has never been clearer to me the suspect has been falsely accused. It is your duty as the jury, the established law that is supposed to keep the innocent out of jail, to decide the fate of an innocent man.…

    He was not absolutely sure that the boy was guilty but he was sure that the evidences provided are not strong and sufficient enough to proof the boy guilty of murder. So he decided to dig deep in to the case and analyzed the evidence technically to make sure if they are worthy of declaring the boy guilty of the charge. So from the beginning of the case he was convinced that there is some grey area that needs to be verified before any decision. He started from saying that the boy is not guilty and that there is a possibility that the provided proofs are not so influential. He was pre-planned that he will not give-up the decision on the basis of vote call and that he will discuss it deep into the hard facts with others until he will be convinced enough to called the boy “Guilty”. He also did some homework for the case like arranging a similar “Knife” and brainstorming with the evidences. Because he thought that it is his responsibility to confirm the charge on the boy as “one man was already dead and the life of another man was at…

In the court of appeal, the lawyers were exchanging words with their client and I even got the opportunity to interview the claimant, the defendant and even the lawyers. In the district court I interviewed the accused who was sitting next to me and was rather stressed. In each court, when the magistrate came, the people stood up to show respect and remained silent.…

    All 12 jurors had their own understanding and rationale behind their actions. Information sharing and consensus building is important to make the decision. Every member is a potential contributor to the process of decision making, which involves understanding the problem, breaking it down to meaningful components, formulating a general strategy in terms of a sequence of action steps, generating alternatives, providing and pooling the required information, generating favourable and unfavourable points for each alternative, coming to a shared understanding, making a final choice, and getting the commitment of all members to the choice made. The commitment of the jurors to the implementation of the solution is thus assured. In this case, the decision making style of the group was mainly a participative style. All the jurors proceeded through the entire decision making process. The role of leader (Juror 1) was that of a process facilitator. As the consequence of the decision made by the jurors was very serious (conviction of murder), it was very important for the decision to be made after ‘Deep Deliberation’. In this style, the person spends large amounts of time and attention weighing out all possible options before deciding on one. A person places great time and importance on the decision.…
