Immaturity Instability

Some television shows have plenty of promise for an interesting season (or series).  Over the summer when I had heard about a CBS show that would leave a group of kids in the desert to form a city, I had become very exited.  Even though I was completely aware that the kids in this show (Kid Nation) would never be in any true danger (not that they were situated in initial danger, but the danger coming from the mistakes and choices that the kids might face), as a major network would make completely sure that there was no possibility for negative publicity with a faulty show design featuring children.  

Watching how age would affect the building of a society seemed like something that would be very interesting to watch.  Now I thought that I was going to be able to see how much maturity was necessary to run a small community.  Perhaps this would prove to be incredibly successful (both the immature community and the show as a result).  There is a mix of levels of age and maturity in the world now.  Each phase has different levels of ability that can be accomplished and because of that there are different levels of responsibilities that are associated and expected from the different age groups.  In actual society (and not CBS Kid Nation society) there is a mix of every existing age groups (although the youngest and oldest are not active parts of society).  Maybe with only young examples for Kid Nation the age conflicts would not exist anymore and the immaturity instability would not establish itself. 

I was completely wrong.
