Today we watched another nation episode. In the episode the kids had to kill and eat a chicken but there was a lot of arguing over it and in the end they cast a vote whether or not to kill the chicken or not. Unfortunately there was of counter cultural arguments as the animals lovers thought killing animals is barbaric but in the end they decided to kill at least 2 chickens.

Many people were scared when they killed the chickens but they over came it and took the feathers off the dead chickens. After that they cooked the chickens for dinner and were all happy. The next morning it was freezing cold and many of the yellow teams cooks refused to work out of laziness which made everyone angry. Later they decided to conserve water because almost all the water pumps got frozen. They were later able to get one of the pumps working. after this they had a town meeting and it was announced that a new composition to win a gold star would happen. The composition was a challenge to get buckets of water and put them in pipes so it could go to a water wheel. The winners get the same as usual as upper class and then it goes down to lower class. I see this as an example of subculture because there going to be sorted into different jobs depending on who wins but still part of the same culture.

In the end the blue team won first, red won second, yellow won third and green won last. in the end the children had to choose between a water slide and water pumps and chose the water pumps. In the end all the teams were happy for each other and were still happy when they won i see this as norms because its just something that there expected to do like clap and be nice.

One of the girls put herself in the chicken cage because she was an animal lover ad was forced to leave. After this the council argued about who should win the gold star and chose Michael. They also asked if anyone wanted to go and leave the town but no one did. After Michael won his star many people were angry at him because they felt like they deserved it but eventually they went back to there normal everyday life at the town.
