Both Terry and 8th Juror, the protagonists in the texts experience self-doubt in their journey to heroism through daring actions that eventually getting them to success. Whilst the reader can identify the initial courage in 8th Juror voting ‘not guilty,’ against the opposing jurors and the majority bias, the reader can note through the stage directions his anxiousness leading up to revealing his vote “The 8th Juror turns, startled.” He’s logical sense came forward unlike the biased and lazy judgement of the other jurors. “There were eleven votes for “guilty.” It’s not easy for me to raise my hand and send a boy…

    12 Angry Men Essay

    In the beginning of the movie a jury is assembled to decide the fate of an 18 year old boy who has been charged with murdering his father.

    Twelve Angry Men Juror 3

    he is getting from the group. To help his arguments, he uses the phrase "know what I mean" at the end of almost everything he says, putting any juror with an opposing argument in an awkward position. As the play wears on and his reliable witnesses were called into question, and more speculation was put upon the table, he begins to become more forceful in his arguments, raising his voice much more often than usual. He firmly believes in the guilt of the accused, no matter what the other jurors say or do. There are other things influencing his opinion other than stubbornness however.…

    Jury Instructions: A Narrative Analysis

    As we walked into the jury room, after hearing the case of Commonwealth v. Miller, I had already decided how I would vote and, honestly, I determined I was not going to be swayed. We swiftly chose a foreman by appointing the one, who had been given the jury instructions, to that position. Next, we read the jury instructions out loud, in order to remember and understand the definition of each charge. Debate over the meaning of the instructions ensued for a short amount of time before we dove into determining guilt or innocence. Everyone was given a chance to discuss the case and, personally, I felt comfortable entering the discussion and debating the case. After discussion, we voted and were evenly split among guilty or not guilty. Next, we…

    12 Angry Men

    The judge in the beginning of the movie showed some non verbal behavior, which is sending a message without using words but things like facial expressions and body movements. The judge in the beginning was hunched over meaning he was not very alert and seemed to be a passive man. The foreman is supposed to be the leader of the jury’s and according to his behaviors he is. He communicates well which is a key role to being a leader. The foreman functions as a leader because he listens well and also tries to give out ideas to the rest of the jurors. He has the ability to look at the situation in other perspectives. In making these hard decisions the jurors need to have perception checks, to make sure they are not jumping to any conclusions. This is the life of a kid and their decision depends on his life. The conflicts that arise in the jurors room where productive to the situation at hand. The conflicts were solved in a good manner and beneficial to the case and getting everyone to feel confident about whether the kid was guilty or not. The jurors had assumptions about “those people” and “slums” which influenced the way they felt about the case. Their assumptions about those things influenced the way they thought about the case initially, the perception of the facts was altered because of having some type of bias. The juror’s assumptions had to do with the cultural and social diversity of the jury. The jurors based on how they lived their life, thought differently from the ones who were different from them based on the way they lived their lives. There were a lot of details to the case, and some jurors did not quite remember what others did. Some jurors remembered things that others did not due to selective…

    Reasons To Overrule Emotions In Twelve Angry Men

    Rose often demonstrates throughout the course of ‘Twelve Angry Men’ that reason needs to overrule emotion if important decisions need to be made, however some emotion is proven to be good for the discussion of the court case. The Jurors own prejudice often cloud their judgment and reason is the only way a decision can be reached fairly. Rose demonstrates through the characterization of several Jurors that people should care about the case, and anger can sometimes be a good motivator although it has its difficulties.…

    3. In the movie the foreman suggests one process (“Let’s all go around the table and convince this man why he’s wrong”), and immediately thereafter, another jury member suggests a different process (“It seems to me that he – the dissenter – should be the one who tries to convince us”). Both processes have value. How would you help the group choose between the processes? What, specifically, would you say or do?…

    Juror's Arguement Analysis

    When discussing a single dissenting juror, an iconic film Twelve Angry Men, is a well-known portrayal of analyzing the decision-making process in groups. This film showed that persuasion in groups can take place in various methods (Proctor, 1991). Though this film shows how the minority can influence the majority, the effects of conformity were still the similar. Ultimately, a vote of 11-1 to punish the boy on trial for murdering his dad, changed to a unanimous 12 man vote to pardon him. While this dissenting juror maintained independence and ultimately influenced the majority, this is not typically the…

    Response to the Movie 'See What I'm Saying'

    I loved the film See What I’m Saying; it was filled with new insights about deaf culture and people. This movie follows the life of TL Forsber, singer; Bob Hiltermann, drummer; Robert DeMayo, actor; and CJ Jones, A Deaf Icon. Once I got home from school, I quickly checked Netflix to see if Netflix carries it. My hopes were crushed. There were not many things about the film I did not like, are how hearing people treated deaf people and what troubles follow four deaf entertainers; a comic, drummer, actor and a singer as they attempt to cross over to mainstream audiences. An example is when a deaf man was looking for apartments in his price range he had to use this video chat and the landlord just hung up on him when the interrupter asked the landlord if they have used one of these video chats. I could not believe it the landlord just hung up. Another example, it is hard enough for hearing people to make it in the acting world, so it must be even hard for deaf people and an African American deaf person too and Robert’s interview about his last interactions with his mom using an interpreter.…
