In Twelve Angry Men the jury was against the defendant for racist reasons just like the town was against Tom Robinson in the trial for racist reasons in To Kill A Mockingbird. The conflict is used in both literary pieces to display the…

The clip I chose to analyze is a clip by comedian Russel Peters called ‘How to become a Canadian Citizen’. The aspect of our social life that this clip reveals is the fact that Russel’s dad, an immigrant from India, still feels the need to assimilate into Canadian society despite being a Canadian citizen. Due to the fact they traveled from another country, Russel Peter’s parents still felt like outsiders despite being in Canada for a large part of their lives. Another aspect of our social life…

and beliefs create a number of diverse and tense relationships among characters in the play 12 Angry Men written by Reginald Rose. Some may argue that bringing past prejudices into a case where a man's life is at stake is unwise; however, this is inevitable. Each person has different morals and knowledge, as well as bigotry and prejudice, this provides for heated and opinionated debates.
