Today we watched another episode of kid nation. The society of kids voted to kill a chicken. A society is a group of people living in the same area and sharing common culture, but there will be differences. They ended up killing a few chicken. The kids made a gigantic deal about the head getting chopped off. They had chicken soup that night.
They woke up to freezing cold weather and their clothes were frozen in a bucket. Also some of the cooks were not working and they were messing around. They needed water, but the pump was frozen, so they poured boiling water on it and it became unfrozen. Then, later that morning, there was a chance to get a gold star. They had to compete in a competition to win the star. They had to bring hoses to the water wheel to get the wheel working. The winners can either win a huge water slide or you could win a mysterious item under a barrel. I see an example of Informal sanctions because the winners receive what prize they want. Informal sanctions are rewards or punishments imposed by any or all members of a society like thank you.
At he end blue team won first, red won second. yellow won third, and green won last. They got to choose between a water slide or a barrel with pumps to put around town. And the team that lost, they were being nice and not sore losers. I see this as norms because they will eventually have to get over it. norms are rules defining appropriate behavior like standing ij line, applauding, following laws, etc.
