Movie; Joe The King

You are the social worker for Joe’s family and are tasked with completing an assessment on the family.

• What are all of the societal factors involved, for each family member?
• How might these societal factors influence family dynamics?
• How might these societal factors influence the psychological or biological systems with which they are involved?

Response Guidelines

Respond to a fellow learner who either identified a societal factor that you missed, or whose answers to either of the other two questions differed from your own.

• In the first case, discuss your response: Is that societal factor actually at play? If so, why do you think you missed it? If not, support your explanation with examples from the text or the movie itself.
• In the second case, discuss the differences: What might be influencing the difference in perception? Support your answer as above.
