12 Angry Men and Racism

I can’t believe I had never seen this film before! It was quite the experience. You learn just about everything that goes on in a courtroom and how much the jury has a say in the verdict. One of the themes in the film that I thought was really interesting and still prevalent in our society, is racism. The facts that we as a society are so biased when it comes to skin color, says a lot about us. Even before we see the details of any particular case, one already assumes the type of crime that person may or may not have done. This film really got me thinking about how we as a community can become less biased because it will help us make campus much more welcoming.
