In many courses, I have learned about Bronfenbrenner’s Bioecological model of development.

The microsystem includes the immediate physical and social environment were a person has face-to-face interactions, such as parents, peers, or church members (Sigelman & Rider, 2015). The mesosystem consists of interrelationships between two or more microsystem, for example parents and school or peer and church (Sigelman & Rider, 2015). The exosystem consists of linages involving social setting that a person does not directly interact with (Sigelman & Rider, 2015). Lastly, the macrosystem consists of the larger cultural context in which all of the other systems are within (Sigelman & Rider,
