Kid Nation 4


           The other thing I saw was that the kids in this episode used achieved status by separating there selves into different religious groups. Some of the kids also used is by saying that they will be there own person and no one will change that. Also they used this by being in different groups. The kids used this in the show down by working hard and choosing which class they are in. The young kid in the yellow is trying to help out the best.

          One of the girls from the green team used status set as acting as a friend towards the girl she was walking with. The kids in the dining room used this by saying what religion group they are in. All the people who believe in different religions also used status set because there all friends. Two of the ladies in the town are sisters. the older kids tried helping the younger kids in this episode. The older kids really want to over throw the town council.

       I saw obligation in this episode by the green doing there work. The yellow is doing nothing at all. All the blue is cleaning because they are cooks. Every one is doing there jobs so they can run the town. The yellow is going to have to be cooks again so they will have to clean up again.

Injuries


from herehttp://www.centralnewyorkinjurylawyer.com/workplace-accidents/
One time when I was younger I was running around our house and my dog was chasing me because we were messing around. Then I thought it would be a little better if I made my dog have to dodge stuff. So I would run down the hall and drop a pillow and she would have to jump it to catch up to me. Then I was in my parents room and I threw the pillow down right before there bed but I stepped on it and tripped into the bed frame and busted my chin really bad. Then I started crying really bad and I had to get 9 stitches!

Kid Nation #3

Desocialization is the process of giving up old norms, values, attitudes, and behavior. The counselors changed the curfew. The young kids are not used to getting up early.The older kids want to sleep in but they have to wake up the young kids.
Resocialization is the process of adopting new norms, values, attitudes, and behavior. They all have to get up earlier.Everyone wants to sleep. They all have to sleep on the ground.Everyone now wants the gold star really bad.

 Looking-Glass Self is how you see your self based on others. The older kids feel like jerks after cussing at all the kids.One of the town council people know that he is annoying.Everybody tells the kid on the green that he is very brave and strong.And he starts to get a better attitude and not as homesick.

Kid Nation #2

I saw society in this episode because all of the groups work together.In the challenge they have to work together.They all sleep on the floor.They wear a certain a certain color for each team.The teams have to work together while putting the pvc pipes together.


Another word I picked is norms. Norms is when following the laws or rules. In kid nation they set rules to keep the town up and going. If  they didn't set rules or laws the town would be terrible. 


The final word I picked is taboo. Taboo is used when the little girl protects the chicken from being killed. When the fifteen year wants to kill it she stands up from it.

     Dear Mrs. Debolt,
                         I play soccer on a select soccer team. The team I play for is the Missouri Rush Soccer Club youth 14. I have  the most goals on the whole team entire team since I have played for them. I am 13 years old and in 7th grade and alot of the times we have to play against 8th graders. I used to play soccer for a really bad team and me and my friend joined and they got better.
           
         
                          I also play baseball for a 13 year old team. I have been playing baseball ever since I was 4 years old. Last year I hit 17 home runs and for my batting average I was batting over 500. I play for the Jefferson County Chaos the team has been together for 3 years and counting this year it will be 4 years. I always play second base I really like it and I am pretty good at it.

                         This quarter I have computers for Ms.Debolt it is my first time having her. I want to know more about computers because I don't know much about them. Also I like computers to watch fun videos and play games.But she said if we finish every thing we can play games. I really like having her as my teacher so far it is really fun. She is really nice letting us play games if we finish because my old teacher did not let us.

Kid Nation............

Class Conflict means trouble between people from different  classes. And there is that in this show because there are people that are rich and some that are poor.Also the girl in the green bandanna argued with the yellows decision not to do dishes.  Jimmy wants to go home but nobody wants him to.

Power means the ability to control others.One older kid was shoving the leader who is younger.The kid was fifteen and he was trying to control the councilors .Alot of them argued about what to eat.They had a challenge to see who would make the most money.


Verstehen is understanding the behavior of others by trying to put yourself  in their place. Jimmy started crying because he was home sick. A older girl put her in his position and realized  how hard it would be not to see your parents when you are 8 years old. then she realized why he missed his parents so much.

Video Games


picture from here
       



Video games do help kids sometimes because some of the video games they play are sports related.  Also some games are about school and that can help kids faster sometimes to learn more stuff. But sometimes they play video games because they have violence and they think that is better.
