Jesus Camp

Emile Durkheim 's initial reaction upon viewing the film would be much more of a bored look rather than surprise or agitation . He is more focused on his study of society as dispassionate and scientific , so his point of view regarding religion portrayed in the film wouldn 't be much about belief on the religion 's actual tenets ADDIN EN .CITE EmileDurkheim .com2EmileDurkheim .comEmile Durkheim (1858-1917 )2008June 232002http /www .emile-durkheim .com (EmileDurkheim .com , 2002 . He would appreciate though , how it was able to portray the children of

the Kids on Fire Camp , as it clearly depicts them as an important part of the social structure . For him religion is an expression of social cohesion , so his focus wouldn 't be on issues of faith and beliefs

The Kids on Fire ' is more of a cult because it takes advantage of the children 's innocence in to implant the leader 's ideas and ideology . In B .F . Skinner 's behavior analysis of child development , the socialization process of kids the age of those in the camp is greatly affected by their teachers and their peers , both with reinforcement and punishment to strengthen the process ADDIN EN .CITE Boeree2C George BoereeB . F Skinner2008June 232006http /webspace .ship .edu /cgboer /skinner .html (Boeree , 2006 . The members of the camp were expected to follow what is being taught , because if they don 't , there is a feeling of neglect , since they 're far from their parents , only with the camp 's manager to look at them

The leadership style shown in the film was more of a participative and delegative leadership ADDIN EN .CITE Clark19971 1112Donald ClarkLeadership Styles2008June 231997http /www .nwlink .com Donclark /leader /leadstl .html (Clark , 1997 . This is manifested by the camp manager , Becky Fisher , along with her Ministry , the Kids in Ministry International . It is participative in a sense that Becky Fisher is also involved in the activities being done by the campers . She acts as both the custodian and the guide of these children . She doesn 't assert her opinions , but she certainly directs them to exactly what she wanted , in the aspect of religion . Fisher is also delegative in a sense that she allows the kids to decide on what to do , though she is still responsible for the decisions being made by the children in the camp She sets tasks to everyone , but in the end she is the one who can decide how the camp should be run
