Provide two (2) specific examples of how your development has been influenced by the “rings,” or systems, of influence as he suggests. What influences were the strongest? Does nature (our genetic makeup) or nurture (our environment) have a stronger influence on adult development? Explain.
The strongest influences of the “ring” or system were the microsystem which I think is right when it comes to our daily environment, family, neighborhood and the religion we were brought up in or around that really does have a significant impact on us as children and up into adulthood. And also the mesosystem which has a connection with all the microsystems because it all boils down to what children see they pick up on or should I say they pick up on what they see and this could have a great effect on them until adulthood.
In my personal opinion it could be a little bit of both nature versus nurture, because our genetic makeup has a lot to do with who we are and our environment has a lot to do with who we are as well as where we came from and our beliefs and some people may argue that its one or the other but to me it’s both because it stems from childhood all the way to adult and make us who we are. So one could argue that it’s either both or one another depending on which way you view and the person at the time. I really like Bronfenbrenner’s belief “that environment or “systems” in which a person lives influences them to varying degrees.” (Witt, G. A. and Mossler, R. A., 2010)
