Kid Nation

Society is shown in this Kid Nation episode because even though everyone wants to survive and eat some of the children who don't want to eat meat are against killing the chickens. A majority of the kids on the other hand want to kill the chickens. This is was a problem because the kids who didn't want to kill the chickens had to kill them anyways. In the end though the chickens were killed and the kids had to get through it.

Drives are shown in this episode of Kid Nation because when it comes down to eating it takes a lot of food to feed everyone. To help feed people, the council wanted to kill some of their chickens. This would have been a great source of protein for all of the kids. This shows a drive to keep the kids healthy and eating. Without this drive the kids wouldn't have the proper nutrition.

Formal Sanctions is shown in this episode of Kid Nation because if the kids were to have finished the show-down in an hour they would have been given the chance to go on the heated water slide and more water pumps. This is an example of formal sanction also because the kids don't have to receive anything. They could have just done the showdown and went back to the city. Instead, they were given the chance to receive a reward. To me it was a good choice to give them a goal to work towards.
