The theory explains the way everything in a child and their environment affects the child development. It emphasises

According to Bowes‚ Grace & Hayes (2012) the macro system is the broad societal or cultural contexts‚ cultural beliefs systems and values that are passed through our micro and mesosystems.

A researcher by the name of Urie Bronfenbrenner theorized that there were five environmental factors that impacted an individual’s growth and development; the microsystem‚ the mesosystem‚ the exosystem‚ the macrosystem and the chronosystem.

These systems occur between birth and adolescence. These systems each contain norms‚ roles‚ and rules that shape development in children. These systems determine which relationships and interactions take place to form patterns that affect human
