I have to say that I was really impressed by the man who, against the odds, did everything to convince the other juries, despite the pressure from the “more angry” men. He used the the informational social influence to gradually make the others have doubts about their intial statements, not to vote so hastly on a decision, that someone’s life may depend on.
To be honest, I don’t really think that I would have enough courage to voice my doubts like that. I guess I’d be scared of being ostracized by others. I think that I’m a conformist myself, afraid to voice their mind, usually being the “yes-man”, desperately craving for approval. I wish I could be more like that man. To stay honest to myself at all times.
