My Favorite TV Show
My favorite TV show is Avatar The Last Air bender. The shows about people with special bending powers. there are four types of bending, there is water, earth, fire, and air. The main character is Aang, a goofy, funny, and clumsy air bender who soon figures out he the Avatar. An Avatar is someone who is able to bend all four elements while other benders only bend one element. Once an Avatar dies, another Avatar is born to take his/her place as spot as Avatar.

This Next Weekend is Going to be Amazing
This weekend will be a very special and epic. I will be going to Washington State Park with my friend. We are going there to go camping. Were also going to go swimming there. Since we will be swimming in a lake there is lots of cliffs and mud mountains there so I'm going to shown my friend how to jump off of them. Also, since we are camping we will be in tents which will also be fun. we need to make sure that we have lots of supplies like food and water when we go. I have to use a sleeping bag which doesn't bother me.

Kid Nation 7
Today we watched another Kid Nation. In the episode one of the kids open a snack bar with apples, jerky, peaches, and other items. But the girl with the snack bar was taking the stuff from the kitchen. This is a negative deviance because she's technically stealing. Negative defiance is behavior that falls short of expectations and is most commonly thought of as deviant like robbing people. Then Jared starting kicking stuff and everyone was becoming enraged. The council read the book and they found a map to a mine. So the council went to check it out.
The council finally found the mine and went under. Later the kids find a bat and start freaking out. Then a girl put rotten stuff in a pot and told people that there was money in there to dig out. The council found a treasure chest with $18 in there and they are going to buy stuff for Bonanza. They bought footballs, baseball bats and balls and other cool stuff. This is social sanctions. Social sanctions are rewards or punishments to encourage conformity to norms.
One of the kids was home schooled and he was being picked on by Greg. Greg is a deviant. A deviant is a person that breaks society's norms in significant ways; also called a delinquent.
Later the kids are called to a showdown and they have to collect golden eggs by sling shotting eggs in a sling shot to a pillow to cushion the egg. Once they catch them another person has to bring it back to their district. They have a 15 minute timer. This challenge was difficult due to communication difficulties. They had to win 12 dozen eggs to win the reward. The blue district won first, yellow won second, green won third, and red won last. They either got a washer or free laundry. They chose the free laundry.
One of the kids wanted the gold star because his mom was struggling with bills and stressed out. Greg apologized to Nathan because he was making fun of him. David wants to win the gold star because she wants to be a doctor. Most of the gold star votes went to Pharaoh and David. They call everyone to a town hall meeting to give away a gold star. They asked the kids if they like the work of the council and most of them said yes. When they asked who wanted to leave no one did. Nathan won the gold star. Nathan was speechless and he was surprised. And Nathan said he would still work hard even though he won the star.

Kid Nation 6
Today we watched another episode of Kid Nation. The council woke up the groups and Taylor started complaining and was making fun of Zack. Taylor still acts like she has authority but she doesn't. Authority is a legitimate or socially approved use of power. The kids realize that Bonanza is disgusting and they have to clean it up. They are going to move the trash and then bury it. Taylor and her friend disagree to help with the trash so the council will decide a punishment for her later.
Since Bonanza is moving the trash they need cooperation too move it all together. Cooperation is the interaction in which individuals or groups combine efforts to achieve a common goal. The council then decides a punishment for Taylor. they make Taylor bring water back and forth so she could fill up the water tank. They keep Taylor inside one of the houses and she starts screaming and freaking out. Since the water tank was empty they called the town together to fill it back up. They finally have another showdown. they have to find cans of beans inside a giant pan of pigs within 15 minutes. They need 75 cans to win the award. Red won first, green won second, yellow won third and blue won last. The reward was fruit or dune buggies and they picked the fruit.
The next day Zack made Taylor and her friends do the dishes job. Taylor has a social exchange that she is not doing. A social exchange is a voluntary action you perform while expecting something in return. The council wants DK to win the gold star. The people want Taylor to leave Bonanza. DK raises his hand to leave and go home. Everyone was very sad when DK wanted to leave. Guylan later spoke to DK about it. DK decided to stay at Bonanza. DK won the gold star.

Kid Nation 5
Today we watched another Kid Nation. One of the kids tried to wake up yellow group but they wouldn't get up. A group is two or more people that are in regular contact, share some ways of thinking/feeling/behaving, consider each other's behavior, and have some common interests and goals. Later the council decides to have a re-election and some kids think Zack is a good leader and he does a good job. Gylan runs for council and he thinks he could do a good job. Zack votes against Taylor for council and he makes an excellent speech and he says he's tired of deal with it.
When Taylor was in council she acted like was in an in-group. An in-group is an exclusive group demanding extreme loyalty. Later they call everyone for a challenge and they have to bust open piñatas h contain pictures of past presidents and they put the past presidents in order. Yellow wins upper class at the end. Green almost won upper class but had the presidents in wrong order. Green got second, red got third and blue won last at fourth. I think everyone was getting mad and yelling and I see conflict here. Conflict is interaction aimed at defeating an opponent and increase dysfunction and working against each other. They got to pick either a barbecue or dental health.
When it was election day the council was under pressure and stress. Markel ripped the posters and everyone was freaking out, and this is social network because when Markel ripped the poster the girl was crying. Social network is the web of social relationships connecting people and groups. They finally called everyone to a town meeting to choose the gold star winner and to re-elect the council. Greg won the gold star and he is using the money towards college. Laurel got to stay in the council because nobody voted against her. Anjay got to keep his spot on the council. Gylan won the council spot and Mike lost. Zack wins the yellow council spot. Everyone was glad Taylor lost her spot as council.
