Please read the essay question for instruction. for Developmental context Background Begin with a researched background to the topic of about 300 words, providing some generic information and (where appropriate) relevant New Zealand statistics about the chosen topic. By generic, we mean information about the topic in general; see the research questions specific to each topic and don’t discuss the case study story itself in this section. You should see this as an opportunity to learn to use the Massey Library article databases, especially Discover. We expect some good research from sources such as newspaper or magazine articles, academic sources, reputable sources of statistics, which should set the scene for the case study analysis that will follow. Massey Librarians will provide guidance, in our Stream site, on searching for information. Developmental context Then consider Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems model as it applies to your chosen story. For this section, introduce Bronfenbrenner’s model. Next, give a definition in your own words (and citation) for each of the levels of influence in Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model (the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem). After each definition, give at least one example from your case story that illustrates that particular concept. (Give at least two examples of microsystem settings so you can write about the connections between these to illustrate the mesosystem). Lastly, your final paragraph should consider Baltes’ lifespan concepts. Give a definition in your own words (and citation) and an example from the case story of each of the following lifespan concepts: age-graded, history-graded and non-normative influences. Both theory has been attached so you can fully understand the context.
