What's the most important thing when working in a group? In the play Twelve Angry Men, there are a lot of themes, but there are a couple that stuck out to me. Three themes that did are: honesty (if you want anything to work, there must be honesty) forgiveness, (someone can not hold a grudge over something that happened a long time ago.) cooperation(if there is no cooperation, nothing will get done). If you do not have these you, won't get anything done. Honesty can mean many things. It can do a lot, from making some feel better, to helping someone, to getting people in trouble. In this play, it had the power to change someone’s life, not for a positive effect but for a negative affect. It had the power to kill someone or let them live. In this play, if the jurors were not honest and said they did not have reasonable doubt, the boy would be dead.
If you have to work with someone that stole your last piece of gum when you were seven and you still don't forgive them, you need to move on. There is nothing you can do about it now. If you do not you will still hold a grudge, and it is very hard to work with an enemy. So another idea in this play is when Juror 3 realized punishing this sixteen year old boy would not change anything with his son, he kind of forgave his son. And that finished the trial.
A very important quality in a group is cooperation. If you have people who do not cooperate, you ca not get anything done. When the jurors wanted to get done with this trial, they were fighting. So they would not work together and let each other speak. Maybe if they could communicate, they might have gotten done quicker.
