    The film "12 Angry Men"‚ involves many social psychology concepts. In this report‚ I explain my understanding of this film from a social psychological (PSYCHO 241) standpoint. Firstly‚ 11/12 jurors acted as cognitive misers‚ leading to heuristic thinking due to a lack of time‚ importance‚ and information. These men used the representative heuristic by utilizing their schema of "slum kids" as a prototype. They also used the availability heuristic as media portrays these children in a bad light. Ultimately

    Moral Foundations 12 Angry Men and Morality A moral person does what is right for the group or society as a whole‚ not what is just right for themselves or one other person at any given point in time.

    12 Angry Men (1957) is the gripping‚ penetrating‚ and engrossing examination of a diverse group of twelve jurors (all male‚ mostly middle-aged‚ white‚ and generally of middle-class status) who are uncomfortably brought together to deliberate after hearing the ’facts’ in a seemingly open-and-shut murder trial case. They retire to a jury room to do their civic duty and serve up a just verdict for the indigent minority defendant (with a criminal record) whose life is in the balance. The film is a powerful
