Week 10:Gender, Gender Identity, Gender Expression, Sexism, Power and Privilege

Week 10:Gender, Gender Identity, Gender Expression, Sexism, Power and Privilege. In order to understand and assess human behavior, one must be aware of the pressures that gender-based stereotypes have on people. Social workers need to understand how human diversity affects behavior.

—Zaslow and Kirst-Ashman (2016, p. 431)

Gender expectations and gender roles are most evident when they are being violated. When people defy the gender roles that a particular society defines as “normal,” tension and pressure to conform to those roles arises. It is this tension that creates an impact on one’s personal and professional environment, as it can affect psychological development and impact behavior. This week consider the differences among gender, gender identity, and gender expression as they relate to power and privilege.

Week 10:Gender, Gender Identity, Gender Expression, Sexism, Power and Privilege

Discussion: Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Gender Expression

Think about the moment in which you became aware of your sexual orientation. Do you recall making a conscious choice to be gay or straight? Some believe that gender identity and sexual expression is a choice, or more likely, that “people choose to be gay.” The counter to that belief is that one does not “choose” his or her sexual orientation; it simply is. This week you consider how people’s reactions to someone’s gender identity or sexual orientation impacts his or her environment and experience.

When adolescents question their sexual orientation or gender identity, they encounter various reactions from individuals in their environment. For this Discussion, consider how people’s reactions to someone’s gender identity or sexual orientation may impact his or her environment and experience.

Project: Bio-Psycho-Social Assessment

Assessing a client’s biological, psychological, and social history is a holistic approach that is an essential aspect of social work practice. Since one area often affects the other two, it is important to get as accurate an assessment as possible when working with a client. Social workers use the bio-psycho-social tool to communicate specific information, and possible conclusions, about a client to other professionals.

It is, at once, a summary of current issues and problems; a listing of past factors that may be relevant to the current situation; and a description of potential issues that may have an effect on the client in the future. In addition to describing the client’s challenges and problems, the assessment identifies strengths and assets that are available to provide support. For this Project you create a bio-psycho-social assessment.

• Analyze how the social environment affects the client.
• Identify which human behavior or social theories may guide your practice with this individual and explain how these theories inform your assessment.
• Explain how you would use this assessment to develop mutually agreed-upon goals to be met in order to address the presenting issue and challenges face by the client.
• Explain how you would use the identified strengths of the client(s) in a treatment plan.
