Please use appropriate citation and reference from the readings and/or videos for this week’s topic.

The theory takes a look at how a child’s development is affected by social setting in which they live. It is the individual feeling of their cooperation with others, which decide the learning. The theory suggests that educators should attempt to see how different parts of a child’s life may impact children’s knowledge and improvement. People have a microsystem which interfaces all the different social settings throughout their life (Lifespan Development, 2017). A neighborhood, family and school. In these circumstances, the child is connecting specifically with different people and these communications affect her development. Bronfenbrenner also argues we should recognize the macrosytem the child lives in such as their beliefs and culture values. As a young child, I watched my sister raise us as my single mother worked. We did not have much money then and I did not that I notice. My mom did helped the neighbors we they was in need an in return would help us out, this have an effect on me to be the adult I am now, to be a person who always help other people who I see in need. I now see my own children doing the mimic my actions.
