He uses reciprocity norm by reminding her that he was like a father to her and helped raise her. He then proceeds to say that “You owe me, I was like a dad to you,” which makes Amanda feel obligated to help him, because he helped her. Reciprocity norm is also demonstrated in the scene when Amanda goes to the skate park to try to get Kelly to come play with the Bad News Bears. She states “I bet I can do what you just did. It’s easy. I pull it off; you come play for the Bears. And if I don’t, whatever you want.” This shows that if Amanda can help Kelly, Kelly will help Amanda and the baseball team.

When the team starts getting ridiculed in school and getting in fights with the sixth grade, the team gets together and they decided they want to quit. When they approach Coach Buttermaker about the decision they had decided on, he is disappointed and takes some of the blame because he feels like he has been lazy and hasn’t been trying. He then tells the team to take the field, and they have taken a vote that they are quitting. Buttermaker than takes the extra time to teach them and actually coach them, and they decide to stick with it, even though the team had previously decided that they did not want to play anymore because of the shit they have been taking at school.

All the kids are a little bit confused and unsure because they shared secrets and information’s and don’t know how to act when they see each other while being in their old behavior and groups again. That is really sad because that movie showed how expressive individualism should be, everyone has a different background and different problems but they treat each other as equals.

    For example, when the speaker uses the analogy, “ If you be... then I be” (1-35), she is indicating the reciprocation process. In Layman’s terms, this simply means that what is done for one is done for the other in return; kind of like saying “if you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours;”or if you do something for me, I'll do the same in return. Reciprocation in a relationship shows that one person isn't doing all the work that is required of all the parties involved, but that all work equally towards the same goal; it's a partnership. Through reciprocation, one gains the idea of contingency that gives a sense of wholeness and completeness –harmony ; meaning that one can't exist without the other, but if they both exist their expectations are fulfilled and they are in sync with one another.

    This is evident through the power of the wave which becomes a symbol of equality and removes the hierarchy between the students. However, this brings forth the idea that it is okay for anyone outside the wave to be bullied and harassed. Ben Ross describes the wave as just a “classroom experiment” to show his good intentions however the “classroom experiment” quickly turned into something much more sinister. Mr Suanders tells Laurie “Today after school a boy was beaten up” he continues to say “apparently there was some kind of rally at school today, and he resisted joining this wave game” which shows that the wave has formed into a group that eliminates anybody who opposes them. This means that something as innocent as a classroom experiment can develop into something as threatening as the wave.
