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.
