Survivor

 

To make a long story short, this was Clarence's second mistake. When the team returned, they realized what had occurred and all lashed out at him. Considering what just occurred, I must admit, Clarence handled himself extremely well. He didn't deny what he did, he didn't downplay the situation, he tried to justify his actions, and accepted the fact that he's isn't the trustworthiest guy in the tribe right now. He knows he has to regain everyone's trust. .
             Back at Samburu, we"re dealing with totally different problems. You have Frank, who immediately takes charge of the camp and starts barking orders to the rest of the tribe members. From the onset, a social categorization developed and was quite obvious. Different in-groups and out groups were created between the young and the older tribe members. An alliance was formed between the older group members, as they felt a sense of belongingness, and identity. Another alliance was formed with the younger members, they even went as far as making special necklaces to further distance or distinguish themselves from the older members. In addition to these in-groups and out groups formed, another division was created between the workers and the slackers. The older members of the tribe were committed and not afraid of hard work, whereas the younger members were less motivated and seemed irresponsible. The lack of conformity is quite obvious also. The younger members are sleeping in and hanging around while the older members are continuously fetching water and firewood, and continuously thinking ahead. This lack of conformity will definitely play a role in the following episodes, and ultimately have a negative impact on the group. .
             As mentioned previously, the very fact that groups differ from each other on any of a number of dimensions, be it religion, ethnicity, racial, cultural, age, or gender, can spark conflict. Many different issues cause conflicts between groups, such as, competing for scarce resources, stereotypes and prejudice, and from one's own personal ideas and principles.
