... of a small town. This controversial program created quite a firestorm and backlash from "child protectors/child savers". In fact, laws have been passed almost everywhere to prevent another "reality show" like this one from ever being produced. Can kids be shown in public media exercising autonomy? I guess not... Many cute boys, along with the exploration of an interesting question: Can kids run a small town all by themselves? Watch the series to find out! Recommended! Each episode is designed to foster the desire for the next one by building in cliffhangers. You know, like Lay's potato chips--"Bet you can't eat (watch) just one! Binge-watch all 13 episodes at your own risk! M. Yeah, I know--this is not the first time this series has been introduced on BoyChat. But maybe it's time to introduce it again, no? Kid Nation CBS 2007 About 60 minutes per episode "Kid Nation is an American reality television show hosted by Jonathan Karsh that premiered on the CBS network on September 19, 2007 created by Tom Forman Productions and Endemol USA.

While each child received $5,000 for their involvement, Gold Stars valued at $20,000 and $50,000 were awarded to select outstanding participants as decided by the elected Town Council.[7] Speaking before an audience of television reviewers, producer Tom Forman acknowledged that Kid Nation would inevitably share some elements with William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies, which depicted planewrecked children without adult supervision. Adults were present off-camera during production, including cameramen, producers, a medic, and a child psychologist, although all interacted with the children as little as possible. Participants also missed a month of school, but Forman suggested that such real-world tasks as preparing a group breakfast, doing physical chores like fetching water, and making group decisions constituted an educational experience in their own right. Forman said that all participants were cleared by a team of psychologists and any child could choose to go home during any of the regular town meetings, which three did.[...]" CONTINUE READING AT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kid_Nation VIEW ONLINE/DOWNLOAD THE FULL SERIES OF EPISODES: https://archive.org/details/01.-im-trying-to-be-a-leader-here_202108 [@nonymouse] [Guardster] [Proxify] [Anonymisierungsdienst] |
