Anthony has been refusing to go to school. Anthony's culture places great emphasis on academic achievement and expects that young people will get no grade lower than an A, and his teacher wonders whether that may be influencing Anthony's school refusal.

Urie Bronfenbrenner has developed a theory of ecosystems in which the macrosystem deals with the culture in which an individual survive. There are five differemt environmental systems that has been dealt with this system in which the individual interacts. They are mesosystem,macrosystem, microsystem, chronosystem and exosystem.

When the culture is dealt as a whole and dealing with poverty,ethnicity,status in socioeconomic context and wealth is Macrosystem.
