Bronfenbrenner’s Bioecological Approach- Systems

For this assignment you will choose two of Bronfenbrenner’s systems and apply them to experiences from your own life. Use examples from your present day life or the past to show your understanding of the two systems you have chosen. You must then discuss how these events have shaped your development and influenced who you are today. If you are not comfortable writing about yourself, please come to me to discuss other options for this assignment. You do not need to include information that is too personal, you can choose anything over your lifespan to discuss, or you can include present-day experiences.
