Micro, Mezzo, and Macro
Perspectives
Cara is a 14-year-old girl from
Austin, Texas, who regularly smokes tobacco, drinks alcohol, and smokes
marijuana with her friends. Cara was recently arrested for breaking and
entering, and, as part of her sentence, participated in a case study on teenage
substance abuse and deviant behavior, which has grown exponentially over the
past decade. Several factors play contributing roles to this growing epidemic
of deviance and substance abuse among teenagers, including negative influences
from peers, familial socioeconomic statuses, exponentially histories of
substance abuse, and separation and conflict within the family structure. All
of these variables are present and appear to have direct impacts on Cara’s
problem behaviors.
Examine the above paragraph of
Cara’s life from the Micro, Mezzo, and Macro perspectives and describe the
kinds of influences that may have led to this person’s situation for each level
of influence, and label each of the perspectives (Micro, Mezzo, and Macro)
accordingly.
