Uri Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory proposes that a person's development occurs through the interaction of different systems in their environment. These systems include the microsystem (which includes immediate family and caregivers), mesosystem (which includes interactions between the different settings the child is a part of), exosystem (which includes wider societal systems such as school and community), and macrosystem (which includes cultural and societal beliefs and values). Thus, humans develop by participating in separate, but interacting systems.
