Impact of various social systems on my developmentIntroductionEcological systems theory developed by Urie Bronfenbrenner in 1979. It is an approach to explain the relationship between child's development and the social environment. It is divided into five different levels: (i) the microsystem, (ii) the mesosystem, (ii) the exosystem, (iv) the macrosystem and (v) the chronosystem. The first four levels are discussed in this essay.As proposed by Bronfenbrenner, the first level (microsystem) is the closest system to a person and where a person can have a direct contact with. Suggested examples include home, work or school. The person is a part of this system and it is the most influential level

What is culture? According to its definition it is "The totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought." What does this mean? Is this all culture is?The way I would explain culture is individual and/or group actions. Culture is based on actions; a person who acts differently then somebody else in fundamental way is probably from a different culture. Also, a persons history or background will affect there culture, though it does not mean that their culture will be the same as their parents. Culture is, in my opinion, an individual choice, that it is neither thrust on you nor can it be taken away. So a person's

The American way of life revolves around popular culture or mass culture. The environment surrounding people will shape the lives and personalities of those individuals. Although culture is a part of everyone's life, it can be very difficult to strictly define due to such a variety of societal aspects. "Anthropologists define culture as everything that occurs in a society--all of the customs and practices handed down from generation to generation. These contributions usually come from formal institutions, such as churches, the government, and, increasingly, the media; mores, or standards of behavior; laws; and conventional practices and customs (Wilson, 2001).

In his article "Cultural relativism and cultural values", Melville Herkovits defines the principle of cultural relativism as "judgments are based on experience, and experience is interpreted by each individual in terms of his own enculturation" (26). This is the basic premise of cultural relativism, that beliefs, values, and morals are all based on one's culture. Therefore, since morality is based on society and different societies have different views of right and wrong, there can be no moral absolutes. Since there are no absolutes, under this view of cultural relativism all moral views determined by one's culture are deemed true whether they conflict or not.Upon first glance, relativism

By 900 A.D. almost all of the ceremonial centers had been abandoned. Jungle growth had hid many of the sites from destruction by the Spanish conquistadors. The Spanish started to conquer the Maya lands from 1520 to 1697. Still, some of the Maya's numerous ceremonial sites avoided destruction.
