Gangsters, such as Al Capone, used strong-arm tactics in which his character is seen as a crusader in the ideology in which man “carried his own machinegun, often gave his own orders, started his own wars, and fought for his turf with the tools and training he’d learned on another Western front” (Smyth 5).

And it also shines when the other eleven jurors almost strap a young man in an electric chair without hesitation. Though relating these two different outcomes to the idea of pride may seem challenging, pride affects individuals differently. 12 Angry Men displays this notion beautifully, and shows how pride is regularly both

Television shows such as TMZ and Extra exist for the sole purpose of not only stalking, but also ridiculing celebrities regardless of whether or not they planned to be in the limelight. If Jennifer Lawrence appears gorgeous in her red carpet gown, she is praised; if she is caught with a slice of pizza

The girl met him at the door and helped relieve him of his burden” (page 97). This illustrates feminism through the view of the woman feeling that it was her duty to help the man of the house.

Using the fashionable car to lure people towards him and make him seem more manly to the outside world, Louie lies for just a second to seem like a better man in the eyes of society. When showing the girls his “new car”, they question him with questions he cannot answer honestly to, “We all asked for a ride and asked where he got it. Louie’s cousin said get in” (Cisneros 24).
