    Mr. Bronfenbrenner has developed the ecological system theory to explain how everything in a child. Bronfenbrenner has labeled different aspects or the levels that the environment influence the children’s development. Bronfenbrenner has labeled the four theory’s microsystem, mesosystem, ecosystem, and macrosystem. The first theory is a small immediate that the environment of the child lives in. The children of microsystem include any relationships or organizations that interact with their immediate family, caregivers, school, and the daycare. The child acts and reacts to the people in the macrosystem that affect how they treat them. Each of the children has special genetic and has influenced personality traits that are unknown. Macrosystem…

    Hi my name is Agent Zeek , Im a vacation travel agent, my job is to make presentation and advertise different travel packages and to promote different part of the world. During the past few weeks i been traveling to different part of the world, and the most spatacular place that caught my attention was the tropical rain forest.Tropical rainforests cover about 6% of the Earth's total land surface. They are mainly located around the belt at the equator. The climate of the rainforest is warm most of the year and has a lot of rain through most of the year. The climate is perfect for animals and plant growth. Even though the rainforests cover such a little amount of land mass of the Earth, they are home to the largest number of plant and animal species in such a concentrated area.…

    Keyich is a city in Casdonia, located in Eastern Europe. Over the past six years, the city’s population has grown rapidly from 265,000 in 1995 to 650,000 in 2001, resulting in a 145% increase. The continious fast-paced growth estimates that by 2008 the city’s population is expeted to reach 1,600,000. The Keywich City Council has concerns with the excelling growth pattern and possible negative consequences associated with the growth such as cultural, economic, environmental, and social impacts. The rapid increased population could include deteriarting infrastructure, increasing traffic congetion, declining air quality, and loss of space. The city has regularly been awarded the most environment-friendly city in the county; therefore, the growing population could reduce their chances at retaining the title. Cleanup preparation begins with understanding the essential issues that need to be focused on first. It is equally important for council to include the residents in the decision making process. City council has decided to focus on three primary issues, which include pollution, waste management, and energy and has allocated a budget of $44 million Euros.…

    Living in a country that has more than on nationality definitely has both its challenges and rewards. For this assignment I interviewed an employee for a German company, in the automobile industry. During this interview I asked many questions about his job and responsibilities and the different types of cultures he works with, what are the rewards and challenges working with such a culturally diverse company, how he overcomes those challenges and what he does to prepare himself for his career, what he suggests to people who plan or already do work with people from different countries, and key components of cultural competency.…

    Biomes

    • 317 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Terrestrial biomes are characterized by their prevailing vegetation, and are primarily classified by rainfall and temperature. Biomes all have certain characteristics such as microorganisms, fungi, and animals which have adapted to their particular environment. There are eight major terrestrial biomes; tropical forest, desert, savanna, chaparral, temperate grassland, coniferous forest, temperate broadleaf forest, and tundra. The tropical forest can be separated into two categories; tropical rainforest and tropical dry forest. Both, tropical rainforest and tropical dry forest are found near the equator. The tropical rainforest is generally characterized by poor soil, high rainfall, and a high diversity of plants and animals. The tropical dry forest undergoes an annual dry season. Though, the average rainfall is adequate enough to enable growth of trees, but they must be able to endure periods of low precipitation and moisture. The desert is a region that is very dry and barren because of low amounts of rainfall and high temperatures, and it supports only sparse and widely spaced vegetation or no vegetation at all. The savanna is a grassland ecosystem located in tropical and subtropical regions, which is mainly characterized by scattered trees so that the canopy does not close. A chaparral is a biome identified by cold, moist winters and hot, dry summers and dominated by stunted trees and bushes. The temperate grassland is a biome that is dominated by grasses, consists of few trees, and is distinguished by cold winters and intermediate rainfall. The coniferous forest is vegetation dominated by cone-bearing trees, found in areas of the world that have moderate to high yearly precipitation and long winters. A temperate broadleaf forest, which is located above the equator, is found in regions where there is adequate water to maintain the growth of broadleaf deciduous trees. Finally, the tundra is an enormous, treeless region in which the tree growth is prevented by low…

    The ecological theory of development that was proposed by Urie Bronfenbrenner (1917-2005), is relevant to state all of our lives. Bronfenbrenner’s research demonstrates how our development is affected by the environment in which we live. The model consist of five major systems; microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem, and chronosystem. "Ecological systems theory is an approach to study of human development that consists of the scientific study of the progressive, mutual accommodation, throughout the life course, between an active, growing human being, and the changing properties of the immediate settings in which the developing person lives, as this process is affected by the relations between these settings, and by the larger contexts in which the settings are embedded'” (Bronfenbrenner, Ecological systems theory, 1989).…

    There are many theories out there about how children develop and what influences them to do so the way they do. One theory, created by Urie Bronfenbrenner, is called the Ecological Systems Theory. His belief was that the environment affected the way a person develops. The environment is split into five levels: the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem, and chronosystem. This theory explains why we might behave differently at home than when we are at work (Arnett, 2015). In this essay, I will talk about how the microsystem and macrosystem has influenced me. Also, I will describe a scenario in my future job where I might use the Ecological Systems Theory.…
