The Influences and Impact of the Bioecological Model Systems In today society children develop is a very important process that each parents, caregiver and individual should know. Mainly we can conclude that every child do not develop the same and actually cannot be treated the same when they go through their stages of development. One theory that helps us to understand the way children and adolescents develop is the Bioecological Model of Human Development. The Ecological systems theory was originated by the famous Urie Bronfenbrenner, who believed that children developed within a complex system of relationships affected by multiple levels of the environment (Berk, 2000). As we know the Bioecological Model system has four basic systems. Bronfenbrenner was one of the first people to embrace human development. He establishes this theory which influences many other social scientists to study human being and their environment. Through his study he acknowledges the importance of human being develop in which how children are raise. This system helps to recognizes that children develop from their family, school, home surrounding and society. In fact the ecological theory explains how the child environment affects how our children grow and develop. Although we as parents and even teachers seem to think that we know how our children grow, but as individuals do we fully understand what affect or enhance our children process of development. The first system that influences development is the Microsystems. The micro system refers to the child experiences with immediate interactions with others people. From the first part of the child life, the micro-system start within the home, involving only interactions with one or two people in the family. As the child continue to grow or age the micro-system start to get more complex, which
