2. Analysis of Jason’s situation according to Bronfenbrenner
Observing the Bronfenbrenner’s socio ecological model it can be seen that it consists of five systems that are linked to the child, in two ways: indirectly and directly. In this case it will relate to Jason Wilson. The systems that comprise the Bronfenbrenner model are the microsystem, the mesosystem, the exosystem, the macrosystem, and finally the chronosystem. These systems are described by Landsberg and Krüger and Swart (2011:14).
2.1 The Microsystem
The microsystem consists of those people that are closest to the child. The closest people to Jason are his family. Following Jason’s family are his peers and teachers at school, and the environment that Jason finds himself in. Much of what happens in the microsystem has a

The exosystem is out of reach for the life a child, however if changes happen in the exosystem then this will most definitely lead to alterations in the life of the child.
In Jason’s life the factors that are mentioned will influence his life however he has no control over these factors.
Due to so many people living in the home, differences of opinion might arise, in the running of the home, and how to treat the children. If conflicts arise then this influences the children in the home.
Jason’s stepfather is a policeman, but he is away often for long periods of time. Therefore this stepfather does not spend much time with Jason. Jason does not have a close relationship with a father figure.
Jason’s mother works for long periods in a nearby bakery, coming late in the afternoon. The mother does not have much influence on the life of the child. The grandparents are the ones that are with the children. Jason also recently discovered that his biological father is in jail resulting in the reason that Jason is unable to see his biological
Jason works well with others because his name is jason for darn sake they made a movie of that, (and a cool one too).
Medea and Jason are married and have children. Jason then abandoned Medea for Glauce. Medea then gets angry and decides to plan a quest for justice. Glauce is poisoned and the children are murdered. Medea leaves and Jason is left with all of his values lost.
In the incident when Jason appears with the police after the school shooting, the officer tells of the events, Jason’s apparent heroism, but the fact that Jason had killed another, despite the reasons behind it, he states “What I understand is that my son experienced murder in his heart, and chose not to rise above that impulse. I understand that my son is a murderer.”- Quote, Reg (Coupland, 2003, p.77)
The microsystem refers to the activities, social roles and interpersonal relationships experienced by the individual in a face-to-face setting in their immediate environment. Examples of a microsystem include a child interacting with school friends and family. The mesosystem makes reference to the connections between the different aspects of the microsystem, for example the links between family and the work environment as the work environment can affect the family environment. The exosystem refers to the links between two or more settings with at least one of the settings not directly influencing the person, for example, the workplace of a parent and the home environment. The macrosystem is the overarching paradigms of the micro-, meso and exosystems. The macrosystem is the
he rough relationship between Jason and his father, as a result of Reg’s tough actions, promotes Reg to develop an understand for the harm he has caused to others around him. This causes Reg’s true self to come into question and leaves notion, in determining if Reg has changed in the past eleven years, or if he’s still the same. Jason and his father, Reg have an awkward relationship in the beginning of the novel. During his childhood, Kent, Jason’s brother is seen as a ‘perfect’ child.
Jason Carter is the thirteen year-old of Doug and Lois Carter, additionally Jason has a 10 year-old sister. Because of his age, the Carter family is at a point where they are moving forward in the family life cycle to the teenage stage. During this time in the family life cycle Jason is attempting
Jason’s rhetoric that we witness is based more on rational logic and reason which is consistent with the new culture of debate and argument in the new democracy, whereas Medea’s discourse raises more issues on tradition. Jason’s argument which he presents to explain his actions holds no emotional consideration or reality, “Also that I might bring my children up worthily, Of my position and by producing more of them…we would draw the families, Together and all be happy. You need no children.” Jason is suggesting that by leaving his family to marry Glauce it will not just benefit himself, but his family by bringing the two families together. However he dose not think of the effects this will have on Medea or his children as he completely dismisses
Jason makes it clear that being a father is very important to him, not only to his living children, but hopefully to royal children in the future. Medea takes away this opportunity, causing maximum suffering to
As Jason learns to talk and communicate by telling the truth he and Julia grow closer causing their relationship to change as well as Jason as a person
Jason Compson uses Caddy’s vulnerability to his advantage to fulfill his need for revenge because she was able to leave Mississippi when he couldn’t. Caddy appears at Jason’s workplace without warning, and he gets angry at her for doing so. Caddy tries to make an agreement to see her daughter, Miss Quentin:: “Just so I see her a minute. I won’t beg or do anything. I’ll go right on away” (Faulkner 204). Jason then tells her right after, “Give me the money” (Faulkner 204). Surely, Jason must have money to support the family, but he harrasses and blackmails Caddy before he lets her “see” Quentin. His behavior throughout the whole ordeal is completely unnecessary. Jason only allows Caddy to see Miss Quentin for a minute which wasn’t enough time
His self war is causing an internal conflict that he is having to deal with on his own. There are many situations that pop up throughout the book that Jason has to deal with. They bring up conflict in himself as well as with his peers. He has to find a way to deal with them and how to be confident in himself.
In total, Jason illustrates that he is the alpha lion, and that his power will only affect his relationship based on how he uses his power.
Though Jason knows his children will leave him, he still makes sure he provides them with a little assurance so they do not initially suffer after they leave him.
Jason of Golden Fleece fame was on the run for his life. Multiple other Argonauts, jealous of Jason’s glory and riches, had chased him away from his home and family, and he was trying to get away from their fury, hatred, and most of all their murderous jealousy. All he had was a small dagger and a broken spear shaft to stay alive in an unforgiving land filled with angry Argonaut conspirators. Jason had previously disappeared in the night when his friend and fellow Argonaut, Orpheus, had warned him of his dire plight. Now, Jason was alone on the rocks by the seashore, waiting for the dark to grow so he could travel once more.
The Compson family is divided into two parts. Caroline and Jason and then Caddy, Quentin, Benjy, and Jason senior. Jason began to grow apart from his family very early on because of his rash behavior. While Caroline sees him as her “own flesh and blood” and favors him over her other children, the other Compsons see him solely as the selfish, racist, rude man that he is (120). Faulkner exhibits the extent of Jason’s selfishness from his opening line: “Once a bitch, always a bitch”(119). He has a negative take on life and feels that he is superior to others. He has physically and mentally abused his siblings and has sabotaged them for his own good. Similar to Quentin, he is also obsessed with time but in a much different manner. Rather than feeling like time is running out, Jason feels that there is not enough time for everything that he needs to accomplish. He creates a strong obsession with work and money to help him cope with the corruption of time. Because of his messed up family life, money, work, and time have become the three most important things in his
