biases made by some individuals who happen to be part of a jury can ultimately either place an innocent man in jail or let a guilty man run free. The Reginald Rose play Twelve Angry Men shows just how dangerous it is for jurors to bring their personal agendas to the table through the bigoted biases of Juror 10 and the hatred of kids through Juror 3.

Their idea of what is desirable in life is to be successful. The group’s values differ when it comes to the way they treat their elders‚ though. An obvious norm of the jury is that murder is not acceptable; it disobeys the
