SOC 312 Week 1 DQ 1 Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Model (New)

Your text uses Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model to explain how children’s development is affected by different groups within their world. Using this theory, we can understand how children are socialized both intentionally and unintentionally. You must understand how this theory applies to your own upbringing as well as a young child’s upbringing in order to truly comprehend the concept. Use your understanding of this theory to respond to the questions below.

Using Bronbenbrenner’s ecological model, respond to the following questions:
1. How did the microsystem that you grew up in differ from your grandparents’ microsystem? Do you think this is a detrimental or an affirmative change to society as a whole?
2. How do you think technology, specifically social media, influences a child’s mesosystems?

Guided Response: Review all of your classmates’ posts and respond to at least two classmates, speaking specifically to the change in microsystem. State if you agree with your classmates’ assessments of the change as either detrimental or affirmative and justify your response. Include any influences of social media that they may have missed, explaining how and why the influences are valid.
