But I got more into it and quite enjoyed it, although depressing to think that as recent as that it was the norm to have a jury made up entirely of white men. It’s an interesting film, and it makes some good points about influence. Some that spring to mind are:
- Peer pressure; people may be more open if they are anonymous.
- Don’t get angry; anger didn’t carry any points.
- You don’t have to be definite for it to be worth having a dialogue.
- Ask questions.
- Listen to why people think what they think, then address that point.
And maybe these are obvious, but the last time you disagreed with someone I bet you forgot at least some – I know I did.
