The research dealt with two plays from the American theater,: The Crucible or The Witches of Salem, by Arthur Miller, and Twelve Angry Men, by Reginald Rose, as samples of dramatic dialogue based primarily on dialectic and an intellectual-philosophical conflict that addresses consciences and minds.

Playwrights discuss with the utmost transparency and objectivity these important social issues that address and concern the values of society and have a positive impact by shedding light on some human problems on several levels.

This was revealed through highly intense dramatic dialogue in what resembled brainstorming sessions, so that the importance of the individual having the true ability to influence society became clear.
