Two interesting articles on Kid Nation. The first article (Newsweek) is saying that the blur between kid pop culture and adult pop culture is to blame for the conception of the show, whereas the second article (Time) is saying that maybe the controversy surrounding the show is based on anxiety and fear of overbearing parents/adults. We talked about how kids were able to understand the class formation in society and adopted the concept easily in the show. However, we haven't talked about the gender role aspect of the show. See who (or which group) becomes in charge of the kitchen (before the contrivance of class in the show) in the first episode. I thought that was interesting.
