Kid Nation #7

Deviance- Behavior that doesn't follow society's norms (expectation's) The kids aren't  suppose to get mad because someone else is doing something else. Some are getting mad because leaders aren't stopping things that are going wrong. The leaders went in the cave to find the treasure chest, and now there deciding if they want to keep it them selves or give it to the town. But they decided to buy things for everyone so they wouldn't spend there money on dumb things. And the kids agreed on the stuff they bought. 


Social Sanctions- Rewards or punishment's to encourage conformity to norms. One kid is sad/mad because Greg keeps pushing him around. But know one will tell on him so he wont get any punishments. The one girl is the richest in the town because she sells potatoes. So when you have money you get to do things that the others don't get to do. In the showdown they have to try and catch fragile eggs.


Stigma- A undesirable trait or characteristic that is used to negatively label a person. Since Taylor never does any work besides at the showdown. And so they always call her lazy, weak, beauty pageant little girl. And there always mean to her and, don't pay her because she never does any work. But there's other people that get yelled at to because they don't help either. Pharaoh is bartering one of the leaders to give him the gold star because his family is behind on bills, but a lot of those kids parents are need of money.
