Pt.1 #1B
In today’s world, prejudice often gets in the way of truth. Just like in the play Twelve Angry Men, multiple people judge others based on either physical appearance or social standing. The jury in Twelve Angry Men try to determine the defendant’s verdict solely based off of the facts of the defendant’s background and reputation. It is not extremely rare to subconsciously critique people based on race, gender, or appearance without even realizing the act of doing so in the world we live in today. Prejudice allows for a multitude of misconceptions and fallacies to intervene with the interaction of humans and jeopardizes any endeavours to establish an overall compliance in a society. If people allow this act to become conventional, prejudice will create rancor between people, which ultimately does not let truth reveal the ethical side of people.

I agree that the juror's were judged through out the play about social standing, but not physical appearance. Through out the play I did not see anybody judge another person about their physical appearance.
ReplyDeleteI do agree and think that everyone was judge, including the jurors and the defendant. Some of the jurors thought that the defendant was guilty because of how he looked. Through out the play the jurors were judge too, there would be times when they would all get in an argument and make comments about each other.
ReplyDeleteYes, in our world and especially our generation people are too quick to judge one another before they really get to know them. That happened a lot in the play when juror 3 immediately thought the boy was guilty, but towards the end he finally realized he was wrong. If predjudice continues, that will become the norm and people won't get a chance to show people their true selves without getting condemned by someone else first.
