Kid Nation

In this episode, culture is being shown because some people believe that they should kill the chickens and use them as meat, and then they will have protein in their bodies. On the other hand, some people think that killing the chickens is cruel. These people are not born knowing what they believe. This event is causing conflict between the people who want to kill the chickens and those who don't, but they have to think about the other kids sometimes.

Also, I have seen examples of formal sanctions because the council gives rewards to the people they think deserve it. One example of a reward they give is the gold star, but you have to make sure you are working hard for the reward. The council is thinking about giving the gold star to Michael because he gave a speech to encourage the rest of the town during the first episode, and he also thought of the idea to pour hot water over the frozen faucet. They also are thinking about giving the star to Greg because he has been such a big help and people look up to him since he's the oldest and he helped cooking the chickens.

The last thing I have seen in Kid Nation are examples of norms because even though each district has their own job to do, it is normal to help other people when they need it. The yellow district are the cooks, but the green district usually helps the yellow team because they are much younger. We are all responsible for each of our own responsibilities although it is usual and polite for people to help out. Also, Greg helped out with killing the chicken because he knew the proper way to do it, but it was probably the cook's job. It is normal to help people when the are in need.
