In this episode of Kid Nation I see coercion shown because the blue team are the laborers and they have to do all the labor. Coercion is the interaction in which individuals or groups are forced to behave or act a certain way and do specific things. the blue team earned the laboring job, but that still shows coercion because they have to do the labor. The town is disgusting, but I don't believe it's the blue team's job to clean the town up. Their job is to not clean the whole town, but to get water for the town and little things like that.
I now see cooperation displayed when the city council and a couple others clean up Bananza City. Cooperation is the interaction in which individuals or groups combine efforts to achieve a common goal. The goal of the town was to make the city better with no smelly old food. I see cooperation when the whole city works together to haul water from the water pump all the way to back to the water tank. To me, that takes a lot of cooperation.
During the group challenge conformity is shown. Conformity is adjusting behavior to match group expectations. I see conformity because the teams all came together and collected 75 cans and finished the group challenge. Together the whole city won a whole lot of fruits and vegetables. Hopefully now the city will now be more in listed with each other since they adjusted their behavior to match the rest of their team.
