Assignment task: Give a example of a personal life ecological system.
Based on the graphic of Bronfenbrenner's mode create your own ecological system.
You need to provide a graphic representation of your model AND explain how the different things you identified affect YOU (not just who/what they are). The key is to be as detailed in your explanations as possible since we're not face-to-face to ask for more information.
microsystem: those contexts you are directly in (who you live with, where you work/go to school, who you "play with--friends", etc) and how they affect you; list at least 3
mesosystem: link together any 2 microsystems that "know each other" (for eg., does your family know your friends? If so, put an arrow between them); list whatever connections exist for you and how those microsystems "talking to each other" influences you
exosystem: contexts you are not directly in, but affect your life just the same (owners of the place you work, UCD governing boards, etc); list at least 4 and how they affect you
macrosystem: culture, religion, state/federal government practices, laws that affect you; list at least 4 and how they affect you
chronosystem: influences especially important because of the TIME OF LIFE they happened to you or because they are specific to your generation (eg, are you a digital native? a baby boomer? influenced by the organic food movement of our times?); list at least 4 and how they affect you.
