Ok, so for this blog, I'm going to talk about the show on discovery channel called "The Colony." The season might be over but you can still view some of the episodes online at the link I provided. If you have not heard of this show yet, its about 10 people who are presented with an "end of the world" scenario. They are staying in downtown Los Angeles where there is basically no other people besides other survivors called "marauders" that are scattered around and are completing for the same necessary resources. Their job was to re-create civilization and to survive. This show relates to psychology because after a while, they start to believe the situation they are in is real and they are not able to control themselves. They easily get irritated and frustrated while they grow paranoid waiting for another attack by the marauders. They stay in an abandoned factory where they use their knowledge to help them survive. They work water filtration, electricity, plumbing, and transportation. It's a very interesting show and I recommend it anyone interested in science because it shows how some things we learn in school can be applied to real life situations.
