Kid Nation 4

The first thing I saw in the video is Social Structure because all the kids belong to a different religion. They were all fighting because they didn't want to have a service where all the kids were in the same room. They wanted to have a service where they split up each of the religions and put them in a separate room, so that none of the kids will fight about what they believe. The kids were pretty mad about the idea of all being together and they started arguing about that. One kid decided that they all have a bonfire and pray over the bonfire about having a better day. They said prayer brought them all closer together.

I have also seen Achieved Status because all the groups are working towards being the Upper Class. They had to do another showdown and all the groups want to be Upper Class because it pays the most money. They all had to work together to be the Upper Class because your whole group has to work together in order to finish first. The blue team won first place and Upper Class and the green team won last place and the laborers. Each group was working really hard during the Showdown, but only one team can earn first place.

Another thing I saw in the video  was Social interaction because all the kids had to work together to decide what they wanted after they all completed the Showdown. They had to communicate and decide whether they wanted the Bibles or the mini golf course. Some kids wanted the mini golf course and some wanted the Bibles. They ended up choosing the Bibles because the majority of the kids wanted the Bibles because it was more important to their religion. Some of the kids were mad because they didn't choose the mini golf course, but then they agreed because they saw that the Bibles can make you a better person.

The last thing I saw in the video was Ascribed Status because the kids don't get to choose what position they get in the town. They have to work hard to get the Upper Class position. If they got to choose what position they wanted they would all pick the Upper Class because it gets paid the most and because they don't have to work if they are Upper Class. Their positions are determined on how well they work together. If they work really well together they will get the Upper Class.
