    I still don’t understand why people are completely objecting to kids killing animals for food by themselves. Knowing how to do that could be beneficial in a survival situation. And from what I understand it’s not uncommon for kids to learn this skill when growing up on a farm. Everyone should have to kill their food at least once in their life to have a better appreciation for it.

    • @NCC1371
      @NCC1371 3 роки тому

      @KatrinaZ1 and I’m sure many a parent had that talk after their kid got home. It’s funny that I just had a conversation relating to this a couple days ago. I remember when I was in preschool, about 3 at the time( yes I remember his vividly). They brought in half a cow. Literally half a cow. If you were looking at it head on and cut it in half. Didn’t have the head or legs but they brought this thing in. I’m assuming it had something to do with showing us where food comes from but they let us put gloves on and touch it and feel the organs. I never thought much of it back then other than it was gross. Looking back I’m kind of appalled anyone thought it was a good idea to bring that in to show 3 year olds. As far as I’m concerned in regard to the show, those kids got a valuable lesson that day. Yes it should have been a more controlled environment but hey, the show never got a second season and that speaks for itself.

      @KatrinaZ1 no as many of the kids in the show seemed to have pretty smart parents. However just like the terms and conditions for let's say a video game. If you put a ton of legal jargon without having any legal experience. You just agree to it. On top of that, it sounds like many of the kids had parents who had tried out for Survivor. So my guess is the patents understood the contract but didn't agree to the living conditions they saw in the final episode of the show as they weren't even given beds.😂😂😂😱😱😱

    I don't get why people look at it so badly. It's just a tough experience that teaches them survival toughness and teamwork. Watch the whole show, you can tell half of them were either two-faced and/or really friendly. But at the end of the day, they really learnt how to live if things go to shit for them. I wish I could have been on a show like that, would have been cool.

      I think it was the fact that children were working for a network of adult execs. The kids were paid, but again, these are children who don't know they are being exploited because at facevalue, being on a TV show would seem awesome. But it's what goes on behind the camera in the executive offices that makes it more problematic than you would think.

It is said that they didn't know that the mic where on at ALL times besides at night when they took them off. But most of the kids were coerced to say certain things and kinda be a "character".
      A fair bit of them where acting a certain way to be on camera she said. Which noone can blame, but I feel bad for Sophia. They heavily coerced her to say Fuck You Guylan in that episode and then blurred it out to see worse than it was...
