Kid Nation #4

Right- Moral or legal entitlement to act a certain way or get something specific. The girl doesnt belive in god, and she doesnt know why she is there and she doesnt want to be there. Then the town wall is arguing about religion and what is better. They are thinking about making a relgion service, and some say that there trying to change there beliefs.

Role- Overall pattern of behavior and interactions; a way of identifying and placing and individual in sociey. People are arguing over what religion is bettter and there own beliefs and trying to make a reliogous class. Some think people are crazy for what they belive.

Achieved Status- The town hall want to do the service thing but when thye go to make the meeting no one will come to it beacuse they dont want to be apart of that. People think it wrong to think about another religion, they dont wanna belive any other beliefs other than theirs.

Ethnocentrism- Judging others based on your culture. The video debates on killing a chicken or not. They need to kill a chicken because they haven't had protean in a week. At the end of the votes they decided to kill two chickens. That showed the kids how to shop a chickens head off and that you cant just live off apples and peaches.

Values- Broad ideas about what is considered valuable (freedom, family, money, etc.) The older boy that chopped the chickens head off did that because he wanted to win the 20,000 dollar star. And since he is a butcher back at his home town it was practice. Also it was done right. So they all could have good protean to keep from getting sick.

Society- A group of people living in the same area and sharing common culture, but there will be differences. The kids have to work together to get through the harsh summer/winter. On the board it shows who does what so nobody is doing the same thing. At the showdown they work in teams to do whatever they have to do to get the reward. This showdown they have to work in teams to pipe through things to get it to spin the water wheel. The first one that gets it to spin gets to be head merchants.  

President Of Uruguay

I think that is nice that Jose Mujica donates most of his money because most people value all there money and wouldn't do that. I bet those people he donates to really appreciate that money, and give something in return like, the next election they would vote for him. No other president would do that because they want to be known as a rich person. Just because your poor doesn't mean you cant have a good life. (Most) poor people are lazy, and don't want to work for the things that they need.

My four-wheeler was in the shop but then it was done so we went and got it and took it to my moms house to ride I rolled it off the trailer. And I started it and blew a head gasket, so we had to take it back to the shop to get it fixed. I was not a happy camper! Neither was my dad because the first time it was in the shop I paid for it, but this time he had to pay. Hopefully it will be done this weekend so I can ride it! We ask the shop guy why is blew a head gasket he just said because of the new parts already on it caused pressure and popped it like a balloon. This weekend I will have fun.

Resocialization- The process of giving up old norms, values, attitudes, and behavior. All the kids have to learn that there parents are there anymore and they have to do things on there own. And with help from some other kids. They may not like the other kids but they have to adopt to like them and get along with them.

Imitation Stage- When children imitate the behavior of others without understanding the actions. Greg was cussing because he didn't like Mike talking behind his back so Greg told Mike what he thought and other kids started to act like Greg. When  the leaders told the town that they have a curfew they got mad and started ranting and raving.

Socialization- Learning how to participate in group life (must be taught how to behave and interact with others). The leaders had to decide between a microwave or pizza, they picked the microwave because it would last longer than the pizza. The pioneers were mad that they didn't get the pizza but the leaders said there going to have to deal with it.

This post is about riding four-wheelers last weekend. I just got the bike like three days before the weekend. And me and Austin went over to my buddies house and went mudding. After mudding we went over to my dads friends because he has a track. And we rode there for awhile until the neighbor got mad because it was so loud with five four-wheelers riding there. Then after that Michael my dads friend took me and Austin to the sand mines and took us through a lot of trails. One time that we stopped he told us that we were by shopping save. And that's really far from my house. So after all of that we went back to my house and rode for awhile. Until my four-wheeler broke.

Verstehen- Understanding the behavior of others by trying to put yourself in the place. Mike didn't understand why the oldest was trying to tell him what to do. And he got upset about it. One of the girl leaders wanted a bike so her behavior to earn money was good so she could buy the bike.

Power- The ability to control others. The four leaders lead the town so they can stop fighting and give the gold star. The leaders went in a group to decide if they want a TV or more portable toilets. And they chose more portable toilets.

Dramaturgy- The idea that human behavior mimics those acting on theatre. The 8 year old was crying because he was missing his parents. So one of the leaders helped him understand everybody missed their parents. The first time they cooked they all thought it was gross. So one of the leaders come in and said why don't you use the recipe book?

 Dear Mrs. Debolt,

         My favorite color is blue. My favorite movie is Benchwarmers its so funny! My favorite hobbies are motocross, four-wheelers, rc cars those are my top three. And sometimes hockey is fun on a frozen pond.

        One time I was riding in my back yard with some friends and I had a really bad wreck and the funny thing was I got up right after the wreck and said im ready for more even though I was bleeding bad. But my friends thought it was funny because I wasn't hurt, but after a couple minutes I was feeling the pain.                            
       
         My experience with computers isn't very good. Some activities I want to do are play a lot of games and make a website. Some stuff I want to learn how to do is hack some people's stuff. That would be so fun!

                                                                                                                              Sincerely,
                                                                                                                              Jacob Maness












                                                                                                               

Games That Make Kids Violent

Yes video games make kids more violent because they either get mad at the game, or they think its ok to repeat what they see happen. And little kids should not play games like Grand Theft Auto. Because their probably not mature enough to handle the curse words, and violence. Also it can hurt them in school because they might try and reenact some of the stuff they saw.
