Kid Nation 4

status set- is all the statuses someone holds. Morgan won a gold star for twenty-two thousand gold star and her statues she holds is a mother, team mate, and a labor. she worked so hard to earn the star and she treat everyone like her child.


ascribed status- something a person chooses and works to become. they all work together to be higher in the job range. They are in four different group and the jobs they could get are; upper class, merchants, cooks, and then labors. They battle off from the jobs by doing show downs.



right- moral or legal entitlement to act a certain way or get something specific. I think Greg is trying to work really hard so that he could get a gold star. Sometimes he can actually be really nice and exactly want to help out, but sometimes I think he just does it for gold star.

Poorest president

I think its unfair for the president to get paid 12,500 but donates 90% of it to charity in which he only get 1,250. The only way it would be fair is if everything in his country was low at the prices. He should be allowed more money due to his hard work and his ways of ruling his country. If I was president I wouldn't stand for only getting paid 12,500 because as a president you have to do a  lot more than you think. It is hard to do everything with just 1,250.

Kid Nation 2

In the  paragraphs below I will be telling you about the words I picked for kid nation. You may or may not agree with the words I chose but I will have the evidence to back it up. the words I picked are society, norms, and beliefs.


The first word I pick is society. society is when people live in the same area and share common cultures, but there are same differences. in kid nation 40 kids for all over the world came together to create a society with different Ideas. all the kids are different for how they live or grow up but they have to work together to keep the town running.


another word I picked is norms. Norms is when following the laws or rules. In kid nation they set rules to keep the town up and going. If  they didn't set rules or laws the town would be terrible.


        The final word I picked is taboo. Taboo is used when the little girl protects the chicken from being killed. When the fifteen year wants to kill it she stands up from it.
 

Bonfire Friday

On our Easter weekend off my friend and I planed a bonfire. We invited about 25-30 people but only 15 showed up. We were so mad because another person an threw  a party the same day at the last minute. Half of the people went to theirs. But over all it was a good bonfire and now we know who our real friends are. Also I got asked out Friday so that make my night even better.

Kid Nation 3

After watching Kid Nation I picked three words to describe the show and what happened. In the next three paragraphs I will be talking about each word. My word choice might not go with the ones you picked but I'll have the evidence to back my words up.  


the first word I picked was socialization. The reason I picked this word is because in Kid Nation they have to learn how to behave and interact with each other to survive. If they don't the town wouldn't be running like it was. The older kid really have to learn how to behave because they are the ones the little kids look up to.

the second word I chose was desocialization because they older boy Greg was very disrespectful the first day they got there. He was getting better each day until the counsel didn't give him the star. He started to cuss and be disrespectful to everyone. He didn't mind or try to clam down he just blow up and was being really rude.    

 

 

the last and final word I chose was total institutions. the reason I picked this is because four people rule or are in charge of thirty-six people for 40 days. Where every group meeting people have the choice to leave or out rule the counsel. They are in the middle of no way and they have to work together to keep the town running.

Weekend plans

  On Friday I'm going to a party. Saturday my friend Julia and I are planning out a bonfire in two weeks. I already have the movies picked out and a projector. I still have to get the food and drinks this weekend, although its not for another two weeks. I like to plan a head of time when it comes to things like that.

I'm trying to be a leader

The words I chose for  Kids Nation are dysfunction, class conflict, and power. In the following paragraphs below I'll be telling you why I picked each word.


I picked dysfunction because one of the girls that were 14 made negatively comments about the counsel she was  disrespectful to a lot of people and she thought she was better than anyone else. In Kids Nation she said," Thank you for noticing my hard work I've been doing." right after the counsel gave her a gold star worth 22 million dollars. I honestly didn't think she deserved it.



The other word I picked was power. I picked power because in Kid Nation a group of four kids were the leaders over 40 people. They want to see if they can run the town better than the people did in the old days. They were split in four groups to do jobs and the higher you were the more power you had.



The final word I choose is class conflict. The reason  picked class conflict is because there is all sorts of age groups are put together to see if they can lead better than they did back in the days. I think its to be hard because of the age group. Its going to be rough dealing with all sorts of age groups.

Dear  Mrs. DeBolt,

            Hi I'm Gabby. I'm the youngest of two sister's but one of them past away before my mom gave birth. My older sister is 15 and her name is Abby yes I know our name's are alike.
I have one dog named Miley and a cat named Rico my other dog Bo dead not to long ago due to a car hitting him and he broke he's back and two of his leg's so my mom decided to put him down. my mom and dad are roughly the same age.


          I like pigs and on my free time I like to practice soccer and go to the park to shoot hoops with my friends even though I can't really play basketball. I usually walk home but I'm grounded until I get my CA grade up. The only reason I have a bad grade in CA is because of my AR. I don't like reading and reading doesn't like me.


        When I'm on the computer I like to play games or looks at picture or even type. I type usually about what's going on in life or what I'm having problems with it helps me then I'm upset because instead of telling someone that wont keep a secret I just type after I'm done I delete it so no one can see it. When I say look at picture I mean look at my photos because a lot has changed since I was little and I can't believe it.



         

Do video games make kids more violent?

I think video games make's kids' more violent. Video games can sometimes get into kids' heads. They will talk about all the time and think of it more than a video game. They will bring it up at school or could bring a gun to school because in the video game they did.
