Kid Nation 4

In this episode of Kid Nation, I see ascribed status shown when the red team held up to their job and did labor work. The red team earned this by getting done with the challenge last. The yellow team also was held up to their job because they were the upper class. They earned it so that was their ascribed status. An ascribed status is an assigned status someone is given rather than choosing it.

The next vocabulary word displayed in this episode is, social structure because each kid has their own religion and believes in their own things. Social structure is the patterned relations between large social groups and social network ties between individuals or organizations. Some of the pioneers are Christian, Hindu, or Jewish. The thing is no one will have the same religion and that's why social structure is shown.

In this episode social solidarity is shown when the whole city earned the big prize for the day. Social solidarity is the degree to which society is unified that can withstand obstacles. Well, the city with stood mental obstacles including the religion problem the council had. Their solution was when the whole city completed their challenge, they earned a library filled with holy books instead of getting the golf course. To me, this is an example of social solidary.

The city council has a status set. Status set is all the statuses someone holds. The council's status in Bananza City is council member and pioneer.
