Application Of Your Identity Fall Into The Bioecological...

Introduction How does each part of your identity fall into the bioecological perspective, approach towards development? Urie Bronfenbrenner, the man who developed this system says â€Å"we cannot fully understand development without considering how a person is influenced by each of these levels†. (Feldman,2017, p.22) The different levels of the human ecosystem are; microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, microsystem, and the chronosystem. The easiest way to follow the pattern is imagine we are going up a ladder as we develop one step at a time.
