THE JOKER

GROUP 8
Characteristics/Traits
• The Joker has a personality of persistent, fearless, high intelligence,
and aggression. The Joker holds a strength of being persistent in the
things he does. He makes sure that his plans will turn out as how he
planned it to be.
Scenario/Circumstances
• For example when the top mob members of the Gotham city were
having a meeting discussing about the illegal money stash has been
tracked down by the police officers. Joker shows up and proposed a
plan to help the mobsters to find a better way to deal with their
business in the future which includes in killing Batman and by taking
half cut of the money as reward. Because Gambol thinks that the plan
was ridiculous, they declined it and threatened to kill The Joker. This
however did not stop him. He took the alternative in pretending to be
killed by other gang members just so he could get closer to Gambol,
to show that he has power to order people to do things for him
Scenario/Circumstances
Explanation
• This personality can help him to find the ways to complete whatever
he thinks that it is important. For instance, Batman is catching the
criminals continuously as this is what he wanted to do when he
started to be Batman. Batman is a rule-oriented person. This can be
good because Batman would not easy to be seduced by any person
with any offer as he barely break his own rules. Hence, Batman is
considered as a thoughtful person as he would think about any
possible consequences before he takes any action. And yet, this may
become his weakness. It is because he would be inflexible in his life
whenever he is facing problems and situations.
Explanation
• Our dominant culture of being a man is built upon two pillars: a socially
constructed gender identity (man), and behaviour and culture associated with this
gender identity (masculinities). Men, like all people, are influenced by their
upbringing, experience, and social environment, which play a big role in
determining one’s view of masculinity and manhood. This means that masculinity
is going to be different for everyone. Some particularly influential factors in
shaping one’s idea of manhood are race, class, ability, sexual orientation, and
gender. Social justice advocates view these social identities as the most salient
factors in society that determine who has power and privilege and who faces
societal oppression. Men who are oppressed in one or more ways within this
structure embody marginalised masculinities, which are ways of being men that
are seen as less than, or ridiculed by, more privileged men as a means of
constructing their own identities as men.
