I will be there first to admit that I thought the movie, 12 Angry Men would be very boring but I am glad to say I thought wrong. I was surpised to see how many concepts of decision making was shown in this movie. It had small aspects of groupthink, small group decision making, and describes certain parts from the model of decision making.

In 12 Angry Men, I observed their decision making process very closely. I noticed their formulation stage where they determined their needs which led to the concept development stage where they generated options. The decision making process in the movie doesn't exactly correlate with the model we learned in class but if you really think about it you can relate the two together. The group also stereotyped the kid which led to irrational decision making and unfair grounds of reasoning.

I liked this movie because it made me feel like I was part of the decision making process. I knew just as much as they knew and found myself trying to figure out which side of the fence I was on. The ending was ambiguously perfect and left myself wondering the same thing they wondered; was he not guilty? Or did they just let a guilty man walk free?
