“When you go into
court you are putting
your fate into the hands
of twelve people who
weren't smart enough
to get out of jury duty.”
- Norm Crosby
Jury Duty- Obligation of a citizen to serve on a
jury when called. One of the
highest duties of citizenship, it
accrues from the constitutional
right to be tried by a panel of one's
peers and involves direct
participation in the administration
of justice. When summoned for a
jury duty, a citizen must appear
before the court or be tried for
contempt of court.
Context:
Jury Duty is supposed to be an
honor and obligation to your
country but many people try manipulation of system to get
out of court. One way is to exaggerate their views:
• Yeah, I believe people
should be euthanized if they
skip a class
Thoughts:
Metaphorical
• We let people judge us who we don’t respect
• We judge people who don’t effect us
• We waste our time worrying about people judging us
• We assimilate not to be judged
• Society is, will always be, inevitably corrupt
• We rather let others poorly do jobs we wish not to
I enjoyed your presentation of this quote. I feel like it was kind of a humorous quote but the way you presented it made it sound mature and also funny. I like how you broke it down into aspects that we could understand like being judged from people whom we honestly don’t care about their opinion. Before you had explained it, I had never thought about it in that way or was able to relate to it.
