In Kid Nation 7 I see deviance when Jared pushed over some one's snack stand. Deviance is behavior that doesn't follow society's norms. (expectations) Just because you're upset or think something is unfair, it doesn't mean it's right to sabotage some one else. It isn't fair to the other person or the town. After all, two wrongs don't make a right. Just because your jealous, which is the first wrong. Doesn't mean you do something to someone else, which is your second wrong.
The next word I see displayed is primary deviance when Greg got mad at Nathan. This is an example because Nathan wanted to put more water in the rinsing dishes water. Primary deviance is the occasional deviant behavior that is not part of the person's lifestyle and identity. It's not frequent and will stop. What Greg did wasn't okay and hopefully he won't do it again.
The next word I see displayed in this episode is social sanctions. Social sanctions are rewards or punishments to encourage conformity to norms. I see social sanctions as a punishment because when Divad didn't earn a gold star it was punishment because she wasn't ever working as hard as she was until the gold star was mentioned. It would of been a reward if she would've been working good from the start. But instead, Divad only worked hard when she knew she was eligible for the gold star.
