Today we watched another Kid nation. In the episode after having a hard time the children had a big party while other kids tried to sleep. The children have been definitely going threw re-socialization  because they've been coming to terms with there life in the town and have adopted new norms. So many of the children it seems have been adapting to there new lives Although that doesn't mean there's still no conflict.

That morning the children were incredibly tired after partying all night and because of this a lot of the children began fighting and began cursing which made many children uncomfortable. Although the children having been growing used to there lives at the town that hasn't stopped arguments. One of the main children causing problems has been Greg and because of him and many other children a 9:30 curfew. Later some kids played pranks on cows by chasing them. It seems that many children are using Greg and his friends as a reference group because they don't want to act like them.

Later the teams were called to play another game and each team has to catch specific Sheep in a group of Sheep. The council tells the teams which sheep they need according to a list. In the end yellow team won 1st, blue won 2nd, green won 3rd and red won last. This I see as game stage because the children have to play the game based on what other will do like how the team leaders had t o get there teams to play as they said to play. This made the children able to work together.

After this the children got a choice between Pizza and a microwave and in the end chose the microwave which caused a lot of conflict between the children. Children were also extremely angry about the curfew. The greens who are now the cooks were also angry about the conditions the kitchen was left in by the yellows.  Later on a twister came and the town went into huge damage. Although it seems it will easily recover. At a town meeting the yellow teams leader was voted for reelection but it was decided she could stay. after this a young girl named Mallory won the gold star.
