A real life example of Bronfenbrenner's theory would be between a child and their religious setting. This would be considered part of the Microsystem of Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model. When a child's parents are religious, often the child is taken to their parents' place of worship. They are taught the values and morals of that religion and are expected to live by the "rules" of the religion. For instance, a child who was raised in a devout Muslim home wouldn't eat anything containing pork. In other cases, children who are raised in extremist homes, like followers of the Westboro Baptist Church for example, are more likely to be racist or prejudice against certain groups of people.
Another real life example of Bronfenbrenner's theory would be between a child and their cultural values. This would be considered part of the Macrosystem of Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model. A culture's values are its ideas about what is good, right, and just. A child raised in the United States of America could have a different set of cultural values than a child raised in a Hispanic home or an Asian home. Cultural values are based on the setting in which we were raised. For example, if a child is raised to believe that they are not to look at people of authority when being reprimanded or spoken to, they are not likely to look a teacher in the eye when the teacher is speaking to them even though in the United States, it is seen as disrespectful to not look someone in the eye when they're talking to you. Another example would be how a child is dressed. In America, it's normal for kids to go out in the summer dressed in t shirts and shorts however, a child who was raised that it is immoral to show skin would not be found in shorts in the summer time. Our values are what drive our decisions. In America, we have a melting pot full of different people and so many different cultures are found just by walking out the front door.
