In the movie twelve angry man, after the twelve jurors listened to the facts in the trail, the judge gives her instructions to them. The judge told them that the man could face the death penalty if he found guilty. The 12 man gather in a stifling hot room to have a concluding about the case. They start arguing and adding their own experience, culture, and understanding of people's motives as a way of reconsidering the facts. Although all the jurors had listened to the same stated facts and they were in the same situation, each one of them interprets the facts differently. This reflects the differences in people and the different ways that we view the same things.…

The movie "12 Angry Men" focuses on a jury's decision on a capital murder case. A 12-man jury is sent to begin decisions on the first-degree murder trial of an 18-year-old Latino accused of stabbing his father to death, where a guilty verdict means an automatic death sentence. The case appears to be open-and-shut: The defendant has a weak alibi; a knife he claimed to have lost is found at the murder scene; and several witnesses either heard screaming, saw the killing or the boy fleeing the scene. Eleven of the jurors immediately vote guilty; only Juror No. 8 (Mr. Davis) casts a not guilty vote. At first Mr. Davis' bases his vote more so for the sake of discussion after all, the jurors must believe beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty. As the movie unfolds, the story quickly becomes a study of the jurors' complex personalities and how they deal with argumentation within groups and critical thinking. This allows Mr. Davis to try and convince the other jury members that the defendant might not be guilty by using cooperative argumentation, claim, evidence, warrant, facts, etc.…
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.…

No one was more under attack than Juror#8 who started the group climate. His intentions was for a supportive climate, but instead he was met with personalities the conflicted with his own and others. He found some support as he made his claim, but only a few independent wise minded fellows. This shows though that one man can make a difference. The decision making process in this group was constantly changing. The beginning of the film decisions were made off very little deliberated ideas. The complexity arose when Juror # 8 forced the deliberation into their laps.…
When mutual conformity exists, feelings of respect, pride and fellow feelings leads to positive feeling and on the contrary, when disagreement exists, rejection, criticism, insult, and defeat create negative feelings of anger and shame between individuals (Scheff, 1988). To elude these negative feelings of shame, individuals will conform to the majority. This conclusion can be applied towards jurors whose responsibility is to come to a unanimous decision. To circumvent feelings of shame or criticism, a dissenting juror may go against their beliefs to maintain a positive relationship with their fellow jurors by agreeing with the majority.…

Mqhayi got his inspiration for his poems from listening to the elders as they shared their stories about the struggles and triumphs of Xhosa greats like, Hintsa kaKhawutu and Gcaleka kaPhalo. His works consistently called for Africans to be united. He took an opinioned stance on issues that would normally be filed as inconsequential. The narrative poem “After the Battle”, articulate this by beseeching his people to “hear” him. His words are soulful in conveying the message of the impending “Gilikankqo”. He denounces the people’s behavior towards each other and urges them to see the impending colonization of their land as of critical importance. His use of imagery creates a potent tactile, visual, auditory and olfactory sense of participation by his audience.…
