Sample Solution
Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory argues that personal development is affected by environmental factors. The different levels of our social ecosystems are micro-,meso-, exo-, and macrosystems (Ettekal, 2017). In the last five years, different parts of my social ecosystems did change. My microsystem changed a bit. I started a new job and became a college student. As a result of that, my mesosytem changed a bit too. And with all these new changes, my exosystem changed as well. I am now prioritizing my job and school and the old things that I used to prioritize are not even in my mind.Of course some of the changes in my social ecosystem I planned out. Like getting a new job.
