First, watch the movie 12 Angry Men (Links to an external site.).
Then respond to at least two of the discussion questions.Post your initial replies no later than the middle of this lesson period; post your responses to your classmates’ posts no later than the end of this lesson period, see the course schedule for specific dates. Please review the course expectations for Individual Participation.
Note: I have worded these questions vaguely enough to not include any “spoilers” for the movie. Once you have watched the movie, please address these issues. Do NOT start reading people’s responses on the threads until AFTER you have watched the movie! Also, please note that even if you have seen this movie in the past, you need to re-watch it for this course in order to be able to apply the concepts properly; memory will not be sufficient.
- Drawing on specific terms and principles from this week’s lesson and readings, how would you characterize the group’s decision-making process for the group as a whole? (That is, focus on the group-level of analysis for this question, rather than focusing on any one person’s behavior.) Include any pitfalls/process losses as well as positive elements.
- Now, consider behaviors by key individuals in the group. Again drawing on pertinent principles from the course/lessons/readings, describe how certain characters’ behaviors were particularly important in influencing other group members and the process/outcome of the group.
- Of course, this movie was about a jury rather than a team in a workplace. Yet, many of the key issues can be transferred from the context of the movie to workplace teams. Considering key course principles, explain how one or more key issues from the movie can be applied to teams at work; you can use either concrete examples from your past experiences or hypotheticals based on principles.
