Basically, Urie Bronfenbrenner ecological theory of
development is based on a nested model (kind of like those Russian nesting dolls). At
the core of the nested model is the individual. Each layer within the nested is
interdependent and intradependent of each other, which means that each layer affects one
another. The layers imply the services and needs the individual (at the core) needs to
have a balanced life in society, and they include school, social services, family,
religious groups and, in general, every community resource
available.
The premise of the theory is that we are
dependent on the proper provision of the services and resources available in the
community. If each system on its own is operating properly, then the chances of the
individual will get the best care conducive to the best development possible. This is
basically why the individual is nested right in the center of the model, and each layer
influences greatly the path towards a good citizenship.
