Abstract
Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model of the human environment provides the basis for the observation of the impact of three key areas of ecological systems: macrosystem, exosystem and microsystem. By singling out the state as the broadest framework of the educational influence, the media, which create their own techno-system as educational communicators, and the educational element of religion as the one that is located within the educatee’s close environment, one obtains the area of the human growth and development analysis via the prominent parts of macrosystem, microsystem and exosystem consecutively of the educational environment, in order to discern the difference of their roles in the formation of education as opposed to manipulation. In line with that, it is necessary to determine the characteristics of the notions of education and manipulation, which need to be identified by analyzing the effects of educational subsystems of the Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model.
