Introduction
The bioecological model seeks to explain how the relationship between children and their parents and caregivers influences their development (Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 2007). It mainly says that the model connects children's development with the entire environment they are in and the people they get to interact with the child. The paper gives a report that uses the bioecological model to demonstrate that poverty results from multiple factors. It will have an overview of the bioecological model, explaining how it works. The reports will also use the bioecological Model subsystem to clarify how the biological abnormalities lead to a mental and genetic disorder. The paper's other use shows how the model and other social conditions predispose individuals to poverty. It will also inspect all the five subsystems of a bioecological model with two examples for each. Finally, it examines four ways that social workers can support persons experiencing poverty in Singapore.
Overview
Bronfenbrenner and Stephen Ceci, in 1994, proposed the bioecological model. According to Bronfenbrenner and Morris ( 2007), the model explores the multiple aspects that affect the development of a child's life. The factors include the child's environment, including the relationship between the child and the parents, caregivers, and friends. The different relationships connect further with the community setting, work, and school the children associate with as they grow. Moreover, the environment gets affected by social factors, policy conditions, and cultural factors (Wooten, 2013). The combination of the different life factors is what determines the future resilience of a child.
Bronfenbrenner's theory assumes that children who lack a positive and robust ecological system cannot develop well. The factor may be genuine in some cases, but in others, the children still grow into successful individuals with negative influences from their ecological system (Wooten, 2013). Additionally, saying that all people that grow in a poor environment develop negatively is not entirely true. Some individuals decide to be optimistic despite their factors ending up outgrowing the negativity their childhood presented. Similarly, if two ecological factors disagree, like the child's parents with the teacher, it does not guarantee negative results in a child's growth (Hoffman & Kruczek, 2011). As long as the disagreement does not involve the child, he will grow up normally without noticing the discord. As a result, the exceptions call people to avoid making wide speculations using the model.
The introduction of technological development, in theory, determines a change to the world. Hoffman and Kruczek( 2011) believe that in the 21st century, the approach expands to cover other technological factor-like video games, social media, television programs, and modern-day interactions in the ecological system. The technical factor proposes that the theory will remain relevant for a long, but it still can change. The upgrading of the view enables the increase in the model's realism (Wooten, 20...
