Theoretical Lens Bronfenbrenner’s ecology of human development is central to this study, which aims to explore how relocation beneficiaries perceive or experience their assigned lot. Such information could assist in understanding their experiences from the perspective of the ecology of human development theory. Bronfenbrenner explores the interrelationships between human beings, their surroundings, and their interactions with regard to different ecological levels, in an effort to understand the subtle influences that these levels have on the individual. Specifically, Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory of human development and the role that transition to a new lot may play in the lives of the occupants are explored in this chapter. Bronfenbrenner’s
Individuals respond in various ways to transitioning into a new phase of life and society, these transitions can be challenging and confronting. They can also be transformative and thus some individuals accept and others reject because it’ll often initiate a series of consequences that may accelerate one’s personal growth and involuntarily change one’s perspective and/or attitude. These ideas are manifested in J.C Burke’s, ‘The story of Tom Brennan,' a move about the transitions that characters face after an indelible accident. In correspondence to the short story, ‘Neighbours’ by Tim Winton and is about a young couple moving from the city to the village and finding it difficult to reside with the European migrants.
Finding a sense of belonging to a place can influence an individual’s sense of acceptance within the community and culture or opposingly can enhance their sense of isolation and alienation from society.

GOOD REINFORCEMENT OF THESIS
In the essays “Homeplace” by Scott Russell Sanders and “I Must Be Going” by Richard Ford, the authors discuss their very different viewpoints on whether people should move around or stay put in one home. In “Homeplace,” Sanders argues against moving with a didactic and self-righteous tone that aims to put his philosophy of staying put above any other. However, in “I Must Be Going,” Ford approaches the topic differently, explaining his own reasons for moving from home to home. Although he is defensive in reaction to others criticizing his choices to move, he does not put his method of living above that of others, but simply seeks to justify it. Although the two authors discuss the same topic in their essays and both use evocative methods of writing to explore the motivations behind moving or staying put, they do so using very different viewpoints and attitudes towards transience.
The purpose of this paper is to apply Bronfenbrenner’s theory and conduct a case study analysis about a terrifying massive shooting involving Adam Lanza who had acted out destructively against society bringing terrors to the families in Newtown, Connecticut. It is difficult to choose one developmental theory that is a perfect fit to any one person’s development being that each theorist has very relevant and valid ideas about human development. Bronfenbrenner proposes that each individual’s development is rooted in a network of interactive systems, which includes all facets of the developing person’s environment. These facets include activities, roles and relationships of individuals in any setting (Goldstein & Naglieri, 2011). On December 14, 2012, 20-year-old Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 students and 6 adult staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Prior to this incident, Lanza killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, shooting her several times in the head at their Newtown home. When the police arrived to the scene shortly at Sandy Hook elementary school, Lanza committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.
Transitions are never an easy thing to conquer. It is often hard and stressful to cope with changes to one’s surrounding, but in the cases in which one manages to conquer this obstacle, elevation of knowledge and experience are great results gained from this achievement. I originally came from Africa and recently moved to the United States to join my mother and my step father. This great change in the things I had become accustomed to in my daily life was not easy, furthermore taking into account the fact that I had never experienced a transition so little as shifting from one residence to another.

“The home is the wellspring of personhood. It is where our identity takes root and blossoms, whereas children, we imagine, play, and question, and as adolescents, we retreat and try. As we grow older, we hope to settle into a place to raise a family or pursue work. When we try to understand ourselves, we often begin by considering the kind of home in which we were raised” (Desmond 2016, 293). Evictions! The root of poverty? Matthew Desmond’s novel “Evicted: Poverty and Profit in America City, portrays the lives of tenants, landlords, and house marketing on the poorest neighborhoods of Milwaukee. Desmond gives the reader overwhelming evidence and revealing testimony illustrating the major impact of inadequate housing on individuals, local, and national level. Desmond’s analysis and observation of his case study enables him to portray the reality of poverty, and to persuade the readers that evictions are a major consequence, and primary contributors in the relentless cycle of poverty. Desmond build his argument using two Aristotelian rhetorical appeals, ethos, logos and inductive reasoning to illustrates the importance of ending the cycle of poverty.
Most people define home as a comfortable setting which provides love and warmth. In Scott Sanders “Homeplace” and Richard Ford’s “I Must Be Going” the concept of home is defined in two different ways. Sanders believes that by moving from place to place, the meaning of home has been diminished. Sanders believes that America’s culture “nudges everyone into motion” (Sanders 103) and that his “longing to become an inhabitant rather than a drifter” (103) is what sets him apart from everyone else. Ford prefers to stay on the move. His argument is life’s too short to settle in one place. He believes home is where you make it, but permanence is not a
* Moving into society is a transitional phase, marked by new challenges, opportunities and relationships. Transitions in life can change an individual’s perception of the world and obstacles may arise which test individual’s strength.
The United States is going through a transition period. Americans are questioning why we continue old beliefs and if they should be changed. We as a nation are always trying to progress in any way possible. The truth is that we progress in areas that don’t have an impact on human life like technology. When compared to Brobdingnag a nation of simplicity, we see a focus on the essentials of life. They focus on what's important to keep humanity alive. Focusing on the essential aspects of life doesn’t allow us to be distracted by utilities that make life comfortable which forms lazy habits. America should adopt a simple education system, governing system like Brobdingnag but maintain a strong army.
In the communities I grew up in, there were frequent changing circumstances that actually left my family not really as part of the community. From dingy, cheap and tiny places for rent, there has been significant points brought to the attention of the reader in this book that could attribute to the failure and success of neighborhoods. In Suburban Nation, the opening pages give a lot of insight on the issues that can come from these big and fancy, new housing developments.

After the destruction in Germany due to the World War 2, the struggle for survival and inhabitation had been the most and immediate business for the people. The war caused the destruction of near one-fifth of the German houses between 1939 and 1945. In West Germany, there were required almost two and a half million houses for the refugees and another million for younger families. It was where the German philosopher Martin Heidegger’s Freiburg and Black forest were located. People shared accommodation there till they could find their own. Then arose the question of termed as “Wohnungsfrage” that means “Dwelling Question” due to this housing crisis. In its response Heidegger wrote his famous “Building Dwelling Thinking”.
The significant life experiences that children and peers are laying more interest in, are considered the sources of their concern and care for the environment. These experiences are different from both the perspective of the interviewee to adult people. The streets in case study's analysis can be seen as providing liminal and fuzzy zones supporting young people in the transition to
Bronfenbrenner Analysis Name: Course: Tutor: Date: Urie Bronfenbrenner is today credited and known in the psychology development field for the development of the ecological systems theory constructed to offer an explanation of the way everything in a child and their environment affects the whole child development. Bronfenbrenner ecological theory has levels or aspects of the environment containing roles, norms, and rules defining child development namely the microsystem, the mesosystem, the exosytem, the macrosystem and the chronosystem. The subsequent discussion offers an analysis of these levels and their influence to child development, and then offers a personal analysis of the influence of the ecological theory in decision making.
