    Analyzing the Impact of Microsystems and Technology on Child Development: A Personal Reflection Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Model Your text uses Bronfenbrenner's ecological model to explain how children's development is affected by different groups within their world. Using this theory, we can understand how children are socialized both intentionally and unintentionally. You must understand how this theory applies to your own upbringing as well as a young child's upbringing in order to truly comprehend the concept. Use your understanding of this theory to respond to the questions below. Using Bronbenbrenner's ecological model, respond to the following questions: a. How did the microsystem that you grew up in differ from your grandparents’ microsystem? Do you think this is a detrimental or an affirmative change to society as a whole? b. How do you think technology, specifically social media, influences a child's mesosystems? Guided Response: Review all of your classmates’ posts and respond to at least two classmates, speaking specifically to the change in microsystem. State if you agree with your classmates’ assessments of the change as either detrimental or affirmative and justify your response. Include any influences of social media that they may have missed, explaining how and why the influences are valid. ANSWER Microsystems are described as different relationships with people and the roles these people play in regards to a particular person’s life (Bojczyk, 2012). The Microsystems that my grandparents had is totally different from mine. My grandparents were raised by both of their biological parents while I was raised by a single mother in a foster home. Another difference was the role religion had in our lives. My grandparents were raised in a very religious setting whereas I was raised in an atheist home. I believe that this change was and is affirmative because it allowed me to be objective. I can only speak for myself because this same situation may be viewed as detrimental for society as a whole because of another's own personal beliefs.
