12 angry men was a strange yet interesting look into group think and just what a group as a whole can have on a person’s ideals and values. As people we don’t wish to stick out from the norm. It honestly scares most, if not all, of us in one way or another. In 12 Angry men they explore this idea and see just what one different opinion can do to change the tide of one’s mind and maybe even allow others to see that sometimes speaking up is the right thing to do. Despite the circumstances with the given legal surroundings and consequences.

I feel as though the look into this movie was a perfect sum up of this semester. Despite the subject matter, we’d always have a reference point within the lesson to look upon to show just what we were studying and how it works within the given space. Whether it be 12 Angry Men, The Twilight Zone, or whatever.

As a visual learner i found this crucial. It’s easy enough for a professor to just give a lesson or lecture and spew out information to the students, but it’s another to interact and give feedback with material that pertains to the lesson so it gives a good reference to the students. That’s one of the reasons why i enjoyed this class so much.

Despite my rough start and somewhat lackluster end to the semester due to lack of motivation and time management, the professor was always there to help me if i emailed ahead of time, even working with me on my essay when i needed the help. I honestly wish there were better circumstances in which i could have done better in the class, but all i can really do is say thank you to Nick for helping me when i needed it!
