In the 1957 classic 12 Angry Men, group dynamics are depicted through a jury deliberation. Group dynamics are about the structure and functioning of groups, as well as the different types of roles played by each character. In the film, twelve men are gathered in a room to decide whether a boy is guilty of killing his father. Personality conflicts, joint effort, and the joint functioning of multiple minds in search of truth are just a few characteristics of the group dynamics at work. The entire spectrum of humanity is represented in this film, from the bigotry of Juror #1 to Juror No. 10 to the coldly analytical n. 4. Whether they brought good or bad qualities into the jury room, they all influenced the outcome. At first, eleven jurors vote in favor of convicting the accused without even discussing a single shred of the evidence presented at the trial. When a group becomes overconfident and fails to think realistically about their task, groupthink can occur. Since it takes more time to communicate and reach consensus in a group, decision making in a group takes a long time. Thus, when groups want to make a quick decision, as several jurors were eager to do, they make riskier decisions than individuals. Since no individual is completely responsible for the decision, members will have a tendency to accept more extreme solutions. Only one courageous juror refused to vote guilty. Juror no. 8 refused to fall into the trap of groupthink and ultimately saved the life of an innocent man. He openly admits that he does not know whether the accused is guilty or innocent and that he believes it is necessary to simply talk about the case. What follows is not only a discussion of the particular facts of the case, but also an intense ex... half of the document ...... calls for examining the issues objectively, analyzing the evidence and arriving at a fair conclusion. And even if the juror's personal baggage was not checked at the door, the shift to positive group dynamics allowed jury members to overcome interpersonal conflicts and prejudices to reach a consensus on the innocence of an alleged murderer.Bibliography1.
