I feel that the Ecological Systems Theory best explains the
dynamics of a family and marriage. This theory encompasses the many aspects
that have an affect on an individual that in turn affects their family. There
are 5 components that make up this theory which involve: micro-system, meso-system, external system, macro system, and chrono system. The importance of this theory is
understanding the interaction of the individuals and the different levels of
the social environment, which affects their attitudes and behaviors. In the
image above, it applies the Ecological Systems Theory to the Pursuit of
Happiness. An example of a macrosystem affecting an individual is when the
little boy and his father went to live in a state run shelter for a period of
time.
