Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Theory

Bronfenbrenner focuses on group situations in contrast to Piaget's individualistic outlook on the cognitive proccesses of children and adults. One item that really helped me grasp the concept of Bronfenbrenner's theory was the picture chart shown in class. (Shown above) It really puts in perspective the different systems and how they work together/affect the individual. The activity completed in class kind of confused me as I was not sure what to to put for several aspects of the chart.For example family: Do I put my family members or what role I play in my family. I found it much easier to do for "Brandon" the example provided in class then myself which is interesting to me.
