Deconstruction Final

Leaderships contingency theory focuses on the enormousness of a leader related to heir situation, (Morehouse 2010, p. 123) transformational theory focuses on a process that changes and transforms people, (Morehouse 2010, p. 200) and authentic lead focuses on leading being morally grounded and responsive to needs, (Morehouse 2010, p. 237). Aristotle Rhetoric discusses how a leader must be able to observe and discern what persuasion might be effective development deferent inborn arguments. Aristotle defines pathos as emotions of the lis cristaler, ethos as character of the speaker and logos as logic or reason.Leaders must master rhetoric skills In both writ tenner and verbal communications to succeed. Immunization that strikes a confirmatory chord with the listener Is Important in order to guide a team to achieve a goal. Each leader in 12 Angry Men and dead(p) Poets Society had a get ahead goal and understood how to drive their group that goal. 12 Angry Men is in a sasss court room, where 12 men from various backgrounds and divers(prenominal) personalities, find themselves deciding the fate of a teenage boy charge of murdering his grow.The vote must be unanimous and without doubt, with a guilty verdict resulting in the remainder of the junior man facing trial. dead(p) Poets Society Is In a 1 puffs all young-begetting(prenominal) embarkment school, (Walton academy), which prides Itself on excellence, tradition, honor, and discipline. Walton Is rolled In Its educational methods and Is non open to todays talking outside the box mentality. John Keating is a new poetry professor and a Walton alumnae, who wants to Inspire Nils young men to KICK at ten world Transiently, to suck ten marrow out AT life, (Oxford University Press USA, 2011), and find their make amaze in the world.With 12 Angry Men, juryman 8, (Fond), was non the assigned Jury leader solely emerged as the primary leader within minutes of the group sequester. Fonds situation willed his leadership traits to apply with success. Fonds leadership was ascribable to his ethical need for a Jury decision without reasonable doubt. Fond is authentic when presenting his ratiocination for the non guilty vote. After casting the single non guilty vote, Fond used inducive conclude to take in questions that triggered a battery of horny and logical discussions ensuing internally and externally with severally man.Fond appealed to each of the 11 other jurymans by asking probing questions and his first being l unsloped want to talk. Lets non easy to raise my hand and send a boy pip to die without talking about it first (Lumen, 1957). This inductive statement is also an appeal to emotions of others, asking them to suck up before making such a pivotal life decision. Fond was using pathos or emotions to persuade. This results in the group allowing a nonp atomic number 18il-hour deliberation before taking a second vote. Fond request the second vote be secret ballot, showing his supportive skill, to allow those not quite snug to vote their conscience. juror 9, (Sweeney), is the first to change his vote to not guilty, basing it solely upon Fonds single stand signifying character the eldest of the group. Fond was using ethos or hereafter to persuade. After Sweeneys not guilty vote, Fond continues his appeal using logical arguments, presented in a manner that promote respect of others, statements as suppose that. And is it possible. Fond is likable to those quieter, possibly of lower social status and unsure to voice their thoughts.Fonds rhetoric of emotion, character, and logic appeals to each Juror in differently and draws them into to his goal of discussing the trial and ensuring their decision is without doubt. Fond begins to gain their respect and supportive gossip into the discussions. Juror 5, (Clunking), relates to the accused as he grew up in similar situation and once he moved to reasonable doubt, assists in logically arguments with how a sw itchblade clapper is used. Clunking physically acts out how a person would use a switchblade. Fond transforms other Jurors into leaders and supporters of reasonable doubt argument.Fond questions the fact that the knife used to kill the father is unique, he wonders if there could be other similar knives to the group. The knife that killed the father is brought to the Jurors and as the group discuss its uniqueness. Fond resents a second knife identical to the knife of evidence. This one act of logic presents reasonable doubt. Another example of logical argument is the eyeglass marks on the female witnesses nose. The female witness identifies the young man at night as the murderer go awoke her and she saw the young man from her window. The female witness had nose marks besides no glass during the trial.Fond asks Juror 4, (Marshall), who wears eyeglasses if anything else besides glasses could make nose marks like found on the female witness. Marshall says no. As Fond gathers support , en moves Trot Inactive to actively reasoning Walt social arguments, presents more passion and his own thoughts causing reasonable doubt. An example of his passion is specific to El train argument. Fond goes to great lengths on asking if someone is able to hear other noises everywhere the El Train, if there was enough condemnation for the elderly male witness to make it from his bed to the door while the El Train passed.Fond counts off the length the elderly male witness would have to go from his bedroom to the apartment door, would the old man be able to make the distance in the time of the El train passing. This is an appeal to logic and contradicting to the witnesses statement. Fond exhibits contingency theory aspects, maneuvering through the discussions with the other Jurors, due to his position of power because of logical arguments. Fond rewards or punishes Jurors based on their level of support with his anxiety level.Fond accepted a cough drop from Juror 2, (Fiddler), bu t refused gum from juror 7, (Warden) offered water to Sweeney but not to Juror 10, (Begley). 12 Angry Men is biased in presentation, (I. E. All white male Jury, Puerco Rican/ minority accused, effectiveness of Americas Judicial system, Juror personal biases), and within some of Fonds arguments, (I. . Ignoring some aspects of discussions). Each Juror also brought some personal bias to the story Juror gs (Cob) intolerance of most anything or Juror asss, (Begley), racists aspect of us/them mentality.Fonds character bias appears through ignoring of topics he did not agree with or did not help his reasonable doubt argument, (ignoring the thought of sunglasses also causing nose marks the comparable as eyeglasses). With absolutely Poets Society John Keating was a leader due to his situation of being a Walton Academy professor. At the same time, his leadership is contingent upon the needs of his key students. Todd is new to Walton but is by-line in his older brothers valedictorian status , which causes self-doubt. Neil desires control over his own life but his father is uninterested and overbearing.Charlie is the most outspoken of the group but desires more freedom. Knox is painfully shy. Keating starts his first class off crotchety challenging students to think for themselves, be daring, communicating they are powerful men who have a wonderful life to live. Settings first class is interactive and passionate he is interested in the boys and their thoughts. Keating presents poetry in a different light it is what ascribes humans. Keating challenges the boys to live life to the fullest by showing them past alumnae pictures and stating, Theyre not that different from you, are they?Same haircuts. Full of hormones, Just like you. Invincible, Just like you feel. The world is their oyster. They believe theyre apprenticed for great things, Just like many of you their eyes are full of hope, Just like you. Did they turn back until it was too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? (Hokiest Dead Poets Society, 2011). This question only invokes emotion and logic, which are woo of Aristotle internal arguments, (pathos, and logos). He is appealing to their youth to KICK toward transformation of all. ten Torture.I Nils Deigns ten teacher-student connection Ana Keating is interesting to the boys. The boys find Seatings old yearbook where he has Dead Poets Society, (DIPS), as an activity, which prompts them to ask about it. Keating tells the boys is it a secret club where boys meet in a nearby cave to render poetry, discover life and locomote true to themselves. Neil decides that the group should start DIPS up again, find their own place in the world, allowing poetry to inspire. The boys initiate a new DIPS, with Todd Joining as long as he does not have to read poetry aloud.Keating is using inspired motivation to enable his students to grow and disperse their minds beyond the rigid Walton walls. DIPS is a method allowing the boys to challenge their own beliefs and be creative, which is intellectual stimulation. DIPS meetings ensue in a nearby cave at night where the groups of boys begin to read poetry, share their thoughts and dreams, discuss subjects, allow rebellious behavior, and bond. This is a step in team building, support, and starting to lead heir own lives. The boys are building trust, collaboration, and are transforming into leaders of themselves.As the ikon progresses, Keating gains more stamina and enthusiasm because of the boys responses. Keating uses unorthodox yet shake up ways of pushing the boys to self-awareness and thinking for themselves. Keating presents how individuals in a group conform without awareness by having the boys march as a group, at first discordant, but soon in unison. Keating berates Todd to create a poesy off the cuff in front of the class and Todd succeeds. Keating expresses his pride with Toddys success Dont you forget this, (Quotes from the movie Dead Poe ts Society, 2011).Keating has each student stand on his desks to see the room from a different perspective. All these acts spectre on transformational leadership points idealized influence, motivation, or intellectual stimulation. The students themselves continue to transform, becoming more like nonparasitic and freethinking. Neil auditions for a play and secures a part knowing it will displease his father. Knox is interested in a girl named Chris, who has a popular football player boyfriend. Nooks vision of dating Chris is clear and as he finds self- inference secures a date with Chris.The group is supportive of each other via various examples Neil tossing Toddys duplicate birthday gift from his parents into the wind, the boys attending Nils play, and the boys supporting Knox in his quest for Chris. The boys are cohesive. Seatings inspiring direction in the work force of young men is unregulated and without the tempering of experience. The boys do not understand where to draw t he line in the quest for becoming individuals. Charlie sends a letter from DIPS to Welters administration requesting acceptance of women. Welters administration is splashed and demands the culprit for punishment.Charlie admits guilt, does not supply DIPS memoir names, Ana receives punishment. Keating attempts to point out expression must be tempered with logic with in that respect is a time for daring and a time for caution, and a wise man knows which is called for, (Quotes from the movie Dead Poets Society, 2011). Keating suggest Neil tell his father, (Mr.. Perry), how he feels about acting and that he wants to take part in the play. Mr.. Perry disapproves of Neil participating in the play, however, Neil does not tell Keating this. Neil participates in the play. Mr..Perry removes Neil from Walton and tells him he will attend military school and become a doctor. Neil is not self-assured enough or experienced enough to withstand his fathers rule and commits suicide. Mr.. Perry blam es Keating for his sons death and request a school inquiry. The school headmaster, and to a degree the parents, coarse the boys to sign documents stating Keating is the cause of Nils suicide. Walton Academy dismisses Kitten. The next day the headmaster takes over Settings somber poetry class during which Keating enters to secure his belongings.As Keating is leaving, Todd stands upon his ask exclamation Oh captain, my captain, (Weir, 1997). Todd finds his voice, his inner leader and expresses his support and appreciation to Keating with this one act of defiance. In conjunction, Toddys statement is an emotional and character appeal to the boys to do the same. One by one the boys forever changed by Keating stood on their desks. Dead Poets Society biases appear in presentation and in characters. Walton Academy is a learning institution that is not open to other methods of teaching.It appears the means is more important than the end, which is not true for all educational institutions. T he movie does not explore fully the impact Keating had on other professors. In a short snipping toward the end, Keating sees another professor taking his class outside which alludes to his impact but no farther. Keating bias is world and idealism, shown by his action of ripping out the first chapter of the poetry class book, which is the realistic method of poetry. Keating is not open to teaching poetry methods. 12 Angry Men and Dead Poets Society are not only entertainment movies but also lessons in leadership and rhetoric.
