Answer 1

According to Bronfenbrenner's ecological model, family, school, church, and peer groups form part of the microsystem.

It is true, the microsystem is the first level of Bronfenbrenner's theory, and are the things that have direct contact with the child in their immediate environment, such as parents, siblings, daycare facility, church, family, teachers, and school peers. Relationships in a microsystem are bi-directional, meaning the child can be influenced by other people in their environment and is also capable of changing the beliefs and actions of other people too.

B According to Bronfenbrenner's chronosystem, the adolescent is surrounded by cultural values, laws, and ideologies.

It is true chronosystem consists of all of the environmental changes that occur over the lifetime which influence development, including major life transitions, and historical events. It is accompanied by transitions and they are more of psychological nature. The adolescent is surrounded by such factors as cultural values, laws, and ideologies coupled with normal life transitions such as starting college and other non-normative life transitions.
