I’m studying and need help with a Health & Medical question to help me learn.
The following video focuses on the impact that gender roles and
sexuality have on an individual. Watch the video titled “Becoming
Johanna.”
After viewing the video, answer the following questions:
- Describe the influence that gender roles played for Johanna’s
behavior, both before she became Johanna (as a child her name was
Jonathon) and after she became Johanna. - Compare the behaviors of Johanna’s biological mother to that of
Johanna’s foster family. How did they influence Johanna’s behavior? - What is the significance for Johanna of finding a community of
people like her? How does this influence her gender roles and sexuality? - Use two different theories to analyze some of Johanna’s behaviors
and give specific examples that connect to the theoretical analysis. - Compare Johanna’s experiences to that of a “typical” teenager. What
needs are not being met for Johanna? What are some possible behaviors or
issues Johanna might face in her future as a result of not having her
needs met? How could a Human Services professional help? - Explain what Johanna’s story teaches to the general public about
gender roles and sexuality. How does this story influence you as a
future Human Services professional?
