Recommended: The effect of peer pressure

4. Using the systems of the ecological perspective as we start to look at the Microsystem level, in terms of Cassie's case we can identify that this statement from the prompt “she did on occasion meet “friends” of a “friend” who would help her get the money she needed to buy her drugs.” This supports that at the Microsystem level not only did her friends support the decisions Cassie was making but it also played a role in influencing her to continue her behavior. Then as we shift to the Mesosystem level Her friend that was in both Micro level locations such as school and with her at local bar acts as the mesosystem as her friend (s) are linked to her behavior evolving ie. As it’s mentioned that she would only drink but then was introduced to cocaine most likely by her friends “6 months ago”.

  • Essay On Behaviour Is A Socio Cultural Construct

    1524 Words  | 4 Pages

    Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory will be applied throughout this essay to delve into the reasoning behind particular behavioural issues. According to Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory, an individual has multiple environments known as their ecological systems (Bronfenbrenner, 1994). Bronfenbrenner (1994) suggests that a developing child is influenced by the relationships surrounding them and the best way to understand a child’s behaviour is to look at the numerous aspects of the child’s environment and how they interact with each other. The relationships and environments that the child interacts with have been separated into layers known as the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem and the overarching chronosystem (Bronfenbrenner, 1994). The microsystem is the environment where the child has direct face-to-face relationships such as at home, day care and school (Bronfenbrenner, 1994). The relationships formed within the microsystem directly impact the development of a child (Bronfenbrenner, 1994). It is through the processes of repeated interactions with people, objects and symbols that the human develops (Bronfenbrenner, 1994). The second layer in the ecological model is the mesosystem, which is the interaction between two of the microsystems such as the relationship between a parent and a teacher (Bronfenbrenner, 1994). The exosystem is an external environment, with which the

    A sub theory within the sociological theories is referred to as social control. In this theory, “Social control theory assumes that violations of society’s norms are natural, understandable, and not in need of an explanation” (Goode, 2011). Hirschi founded a social bonding theory that states a drug user will engage in a deviant act, such as drug use, to the extent that the bond between society and themselves are broken or weakened (Mosher & Akins, 2014). If the bond between society and the person is strong, the less likely they will subject themselves to drug
