The fist vote taken by the jury was susceptible to social influence as a result of fear of appearing different or abnormal due to the obvious case that the defense made. Hesitancy is an obvious emotion in many of the eleven jurors as they cast their initial guilty votes. This hesitation can be interpreted as a weak conviction persuaded by the guilty majority’s influence. This could also be seen as deindividuation. Time constraints can also play and part here as well.
After reading the report, I chose Glen Woodall. I found this case to be very interesting, as situations like this happen all the time. Wrongful convictions,not only hurt the one that's being accused, but it hurts the person's family as well. In the eye of the public, if your arrested for a crime, then your an outsider, no matter how you may have contributed to your community. But a lot of people remain steadfast in their innocence.
Some good coming from something bad can be nonetheless true of conflict. Therefore in the end, not only bad can come from conflict but predominately also good. In times of coming to facing conflict, if all conflict was bad then few individuals would come to find the strength and courage to face it. In the era of the 1950s, it driven many to fear of communism as the repeated procedures of capturing and interrogating many individuals forcedly drove them to expose and accuse many others of being a communist. In that era, Arthur Miller was one of the many victims who were taken in by Senator McCarthy but was one of many victims that were known as a communist sympathiser.
While, if they were able to be released back into the community they could have actually been rehabilitated. This not only happens to juveniles this also can happen to the smaller weaker adults. While, the hardest question that the judge has to ask him/herself is “Is this offender fit to be put back into society or just put into prison/jail”, which can deter a possible offender from being released to probation to be sent to prison or jail. The possibilities of rehabilitating these offenders are very high if they can be placed into the right type of correctional program. In community based corrections there are many different types that can be offered.
The way these shows and books appeal to people’s emotions with tragic stories and suspense keeps the viewers and readers wanting more. People thrive off the drama and because it’s about crime and justice, which holds real life importance, they assume it’s as close to reality as it gets.

As far as my own interest in these types of shows, I do watch Criminal Minds.
I personally agree with Nabokov’s theory about good readers. If we don’t detach ourselves a little from the story we will be too blinded by our emotions to appreciate the real art of the story. A good reader needs a great writer and vice versa. A good reader must comprehend the story through the proper use of his imagination, memory, and artistic sense. Having an imagination is necessary to get deeper in the story, and a good memory is also required to tie the pieces of the story together.

I am also inspired by my grandmother’s love for volunteering and bringing happiness to the unfortunate. When I was four years old my grandmother first took me to Wrentham Developmental Center to spend time with mentally and physically disabled residents. She introduced me to so many people that have helped shaped who I am. The resident my grandmother spent the most time with was a woman wheel chair bound with cerebral palsy named Nancy.

In the play, the two women – Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale- who are only brought along with the sheriff and attorney to retrieve some items for a wife – Mrs. Wright/ Minnie foster- accused for killing her husband –Mr.
The one area that I do have a problem with in the current law’s standing is the ability of the perpetrator to confront the victim in court in certain situations, such as rape or other highly emotional topics. I do feel this approach only serves to further victimize the victim and leads a lot of victims to make the decision to not report or seek justice (Boland Mary L., 2009). Vengeance and the Law When we think of vengeance we think of a person that approaches a perceived wrong in the same manner that it happened to them. Sometimes this is true and other times it is only a want or
