12 Angry Men Group Development and Dynamics Assignment
Watch the 1957 movie 12 Angry Men. I recommend reading the essay questions and taking notes while watching the movie.
The film was directed by Sidney Lumet and tells the story of a 12 man jury. In 90 minutes, you will see the jury deliberate whether the subject will be acquitted on the basis of reasonable doubt or if the defendant is found guilty. Watch for content you learned in this week’s module, group development and dynamics.
Explain how you can use 12 Angry Men to illustrate the following topics from the week:
Group Development
Group Dynamics
The Punctuated-Equilibrium Model
Group Decision Making
Group Roles
Formal leader
Informal leader
Follower
Deviant
Isolate
Recorder
Social Loafer
