Hi Sanaah, I was supposed to give a review for your wiki post on Feb 26. This may be the wrong sandbox.... please email me at your convenience (emailjoycecee (at) gmail.com) Thanks, Joyce

See below for Benjamin's (biol345wiki) comment:

The Microsystem is derived from Urie Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory in which Microsystem is in the core of the systems diagram This sentence was somewhat unclear. What do you mean by the "core of the systems diagram" - (Sanaah: Ben, this is refering to the Ecology System's Theory which is outlined in the begining.) What is Bronfenbenner's area of study (i.e. child development, family sociology, etc.), and how is he regarded in this subject area? Is he the foremost authority on child development? (Sanaah: Ben, I'm not trying to outline his area of study. That is outlined on his own wikipedia page and the page for the EST but I will try to clarify that a little better) In the case of a child this includes their family, school, peers, and neighbourhood. What about other aspects of a child's life (sports teams, music lessons, etc.)? (Sanaah: Ben, the sports teams and music lessons are not crucial to each child as they don't all have these. Those fall into the mesosystem of the EST.) If a child’s family is abusive, their neighbourhood is filled with crime, or their school has a high rate of drop outs, it can have a high impact on a child to fall into delinquency. In the same way if a child is put into a setting with a well-mannered family, in a safe neighbourhood, in a great school, then they could lead a life with many successes. Is this correlational or causational? Are there any spurious variables that can account for this relationship? How do you define delinquency (i.e. criminal record, school reports, etc.) (Sanaah: Unfortunately, I don't have the rights to state whether it's correlational or causational. I tried to look this up in articles and the closest fit I can get it is that it's correlational but I'd rather not make the statement without being sure.) There are no citations

Does the Microsystem play an equally large role in the continued development of adults throughout their lives, or do adults become more immune to the fluctuations of their environment? (Sanaah: Ben, I'm not sure because this theory is contained to the child and it's system. I haven't looked into the facts of development into adulthood but it could be a great way to expand this in the future.)

Avoid using"it's" and other abbreviations -- use "it is" instead

When talking about a child, perhaps consider using "him or her/"him/her"/"his or her" rather than "its"/"it"

To what extent is a child shaped by nature, or does this theory propose that a child is exclusively a product of his or her environment?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Biol345wiki (talk • contribs) 18:24, 5 March 2013 (UTC)  (Sanaah: SineBot, Thank you for your comment but it's not the fact of the nature vs. nurture for this theory. The theory is strictly outlining the surroundings of the child on the micro level and placing posibilities of personality development)
