Kid Nation 3

In this episode of Kid Nation imitation stage was shown because Greg was using curse words. He was most likely imitating the behavior of his parents or other family members. This is not a positive example of imitation stage especially since there are little kids there. Some of the little kids come from strict homes and their parents don't appreciate those bad behaviors.

Looking-glass self is shown in this episode of Kid Nation as well. It is shown in this episode because Greg thinks that everyone treats him like dirt and that no one has any respect for him. He thinks that since others treat him badly that he has to be mean. He needs to realize that just because he doesn't get everything he wants he doesn't have to mouth off to the council or anyone else. If he was nicer and dealt with things maturely everyone would have more respect for him.

Total institution i thought was also shown in this episode. Total institution is shown because the whole town is cut off from any other civilization and that can be hard. The kids are put under the supervision of the City Council. The City Council is also partially under the control of the book that was left for them to follow. None of the kids are allowed to talk to any of their friends or family unless they win the gold star. Even then, though, they have to have permission.
