     Microsystem - "a pattern of activities, roles, and interpersonal relationships experienced by the developing person in a given setting. Meaning that a child can influence his/her peers and parents just as they influence them  M esosystem - the linkages of two or more of the child's microsystems. Meaning that if a child brought a friend home from school, his home and school microsystem are linked.  Exosystem - is the linkages between two or more settings; however, one of these settings does not directly contain the developing child. For example, a parent's workplace or father's poker game can indirectly affect a child depending on the current workload or amount of financial windfall.  M acrosystem - society's impact on a child via its values, beliefs, policies, cultures, and customs. For example a child living in America would have different values than one living in China  Chronosystem - historical events that have a comprehensive effect on other systems. For example divorce can effect a child’s ecological systems for years
