Kid Nation Episode 6

Conformity is one thing that is shown in this episode because the new council members have to adjust to their new roles in society. They have to adjust to waking up earlier in the morning. This might be a little harder for them since they have been used to sleeping in later. Another thing they will have to get used to is the low respect the kids have for the council. Some of the kids have little respect for their leaders. Taylor is one of the main kids who have little respect for anyone. She is very displeased with hoe Zach replaced her in the City council.

Authority is also being shown in this episode of kid nation since there is a City Council. This is a socially approved use of power because when the town had a reelection only two of the council members were replaced. This in turn means that the other two council members are either doing a reasonable job or they are accomplishing good things for the town. By two members getting kicked off however means that the town did not approve of the job they were doing. The town members, Zach and Guylan, were doing a better job at providing and helping the town that they were the ones who replaced the main council members.

Cooperation is something else that is shown in this episode of kid nation when the city council asked town members to help take and bury the city trash away from the town. Most of the kids cooperated by helpimg pick up the trash and dumping it into the crates. Taylor and Lela were the only two kids who did not show any cooperation. They ran away from the group and went to hide in a room. In return of their selfish act they are going to be punished. By simply just helping and cooperating with the city council, they would have possibly been on better terms with the town members and the City Council.
