Kid Nation episode 7

In episode 7 of kid nation, I saw deviance when Jared knocked over Divad's food stand. He was jealous of her getting even more money than him. Because she already had plenty of money, he didn't see a need for her to have more money. He sabotaged her money after he was confronted about his idea. While everyone else thought her idea was clever, he was just greedy and tried to destroy her idea.

There was an example of primary deviance when Greg and Nathan fought. Nathan normally stayed away from conflict, but Greg's attitude made them get into arguments. They were fighting abut the different responsibilities. Nathan thought the laundry was more important, but Greg was set on doing the dishes. Greg was also acting more like he did in the beginning. He was being an antagonist by causing even more problems.

There was an example anomie when there was a lot of conflict in the town. This caused the town to become weaker. The conflict also influenced council decisions because they realized that kids were becoming too greedy. The kids greed caused the caused them to get into many arguments over who deserves what. The town began to slowly start to overcome the greed and start to work together again.
