Pros And Cons Of Surviving Dogs And Inmates

Pros And Cons Of Surviving Dogs And Inmates
Dogs and inmates destruction duo or partner perfection??? Dogs like yours to work with inmates.
Perfection or Problem?? This is perfection because they save dogs lives, the inmates love taking
care of dogs and the inmates can give people something they love. The inmates at prisons should be
allowed to work with the rescue programs for dogs. The inmates should be allowed to work with our
rescue dogs because they save lives and provide homes for dogs. One inmate said "Karma rescue
saved lives of over 2000 lives of rescue dogs in 11 years."–(Dubois page 1). Karma rescue is the
rescue organization and that means the Inmates have rescued 2000 dogs in 11 years and that's good
because the dogs would have otherwise died and they wouldn't have

The Oligopoly
Monopolies are quiet rare, in part due to regulatory efforts to discourage them. However, there are
many markets that are dominated by a relatively few firms, known as oligopolies. The term
oligopoly comes from two Greek words: oligoi meaning "few" and poleein meaning "to sell".
Examples of oligopolies include:

The Duopoly
In order to understand some of the possible behaviors in the case of oligopolies, consider the
simplest case – the duopoly (i.e., two firms). Think, for example, of the airliner industry, which is
dominated by two firms (Boeing and Airbus). Suppose that the demand for airliners in any given
month is given by
Price ($mill.) 4.00 3.50 3.00 2.50 2.00 1.50 1.00 0.50 0

The Collusion Outcome

One alternative in the case of a duopoly would be for the two ﬁrms to form a cartel A cartel is an
agreement among several producers to obey output restrictions in order to increase their joint proﬁt.
Essentially, the cartel acts like a monopolist and simply divides the market among members of the
cartel. The most famous example of this is the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries

Prisoner's Dilemma
Saturday morning I arrived at The Woodlands College Park High School and went inside to meet my
counselors in the Commons. I was pleasantly surprised to find that we were put into groups instead
of helplessly wandering around with occasional advice from counselors. Katie and Kendall
immediately helped me join the group and made me feel a lot less nervous about making new
friends. Some of the first activities we did were the team–building activities. First, my group went to
the truth circle, where we learned about each other using a silent confession/honesty game.
Sometimes I was reluctant to say yes or no about something, but I tried to be as honest as possible.
Then we talked about core values, especially the ones that the YMCA promoted. ... Show more

We learned (through experience) that we had to work together to get anywhere in a canoe. We also
went to the boulder wall (which I was not very good at) and the Alpine Tower. I loved the Alpine
Tower because it was thrilling and challenging. The only thing I did not like about it was that I was
trembling the whole time. Most of the journey consisted of the fake rocks used on rock–climbing
walls. The easy course was definitely challenging enough for me. At the end, we went to the closing
ceremony and signed each other's

Changing the Classic Game Prisoner's Dilemma
Prisoner's Dilemma Changing the classic Prisoner's Dilemma to include more than two players and
multiple rounds does not really affect the best individual strategy, though it does change the odds
somewhat. Instead of making the choice more complex, though, these changes actually make the
most rational individual strategy even more clearly rational and strongly reasoned. Though a
situation where all players defect yields the worst possible overall outcome, an individual situation
where one has cooperated but others have defected yields the worst possible individual outcome.
Multiple players entering the game with the same reward structure actually increases the odds that a
choice to cooperate will result in a score of 0 rather than a score of 3, as any single choice to defect
by any of the other players would trigger a 0 score and the more players there are the more chances
there are the one will choose to defect. Multiple rounds would also not alter the decision regardless
of the specific rules of the game. If the game continued round after successive round with all of the
same players, it would likely only take a few rounds before everyone followed the lead of any initial
defectors and defected themselves as a way to minimize losses. If the game ends as soon as someone
defects (which makes the most sense given the original situation, because as soon as one prisoner
defects all others would be turned in for harsh punishment), the incentive to defect in the first round

The Golden Balls Game: Thelma And Louise
The Golden Balls game is very similar to the prisoners dilemma because there will always be an
incentive to act in a way that benefits yourself, on your opponents expense. And when both players
choose to cheat, they will both be worse off than they would have been if they engaged in
cooperative behaviour. Just like with Thelma and Louise, both players can choose between
cooperating, and depending on the other players actions, split the payoff 50/50 or getting nothing, or
engaging in non–cooperative behaviour and again depending on the other players actions, getting
100% of the payoff or nothing. The only difference is that in the prisoners dilemma, they players are
not allowed to communicate with each other. In the Golden Balls game however, ... Show more
So whether you change your decision or not, you will still end up with nothing.
I believe that the man in the first video was naive to think that the girl would choose to split after he
had cheated in the previous round. In a prisoners dilemma type of game, where there are many
rounds, he should have expected that the player would choose to engage in strategic behaviour like
the tit for tat strategy. He knew from the beginning that there would be several rounds; therefore he
should have kept his opponents future actions in mind before he chose his actions in the previous
rounds. Because he has a history of engaging in non–cooperative behaviour, there is no incentive for
player 2 to cooperate in the next round again. Another problem with his strategy is that when you
tell your opponent convincingly that you will split, you are also telling them that they don't have to
worry about you choosing to steal, and therefore the opponent will have an even greater incentive to
choose steal and get 100% of the payoff. And if it turns out player1 also decided to cheat – at least
your won't look like a fool all over again. Choosing to steal would therefor be the obvious choice for
player2. Player2 made the right decision when choosing the steal ball. It would not be smart

A Brief Explanation Of The Prisoner's Dilemma
Purpose: Introduction/background of problem
The purpose of this discussion is to give a brief explanation of the Prisoner's Dilemma
game, the notion of dominant strategy, and the concept of Nash equilibrium and cooperation.
The Prisoner`s Dilemma game helps us understand what governs the balance between
cooperation and competition in business, in politics, and in social settings (Dixit & Nalebuff,
2008). An example, of a traditional method of this game is how a school principal resolve
student conflicts by talking to both parties involved to determine the circumstance of the event
that occurred. The strategy in this method is to try and determine the truth by listening to two
conflicting stories of events. The Prisoner`s Dilemma in economics can be applied when we look
at competing business and how they market their products to receive the best possible revenue.
An example of this is the automobile industry and how to compete with one another for customer
sale through competitive pricing and incentives. The notion of dominant strategy is the notion
that one strategy is better than the other and this notion could typically give one side an
advantage over another. This is great information to have but it all depends on how this
information is implemented in a company's business practices. The concept of Nash equilibrium
and cooperation is a concept that was developed by a mathematics graduate named, John Forbes
Nash. The idea of the Nash

A Prisoner's Dilemma
An example of the prisoner's dilemma is graduating from college and is not graduating from college.
In real world, college is one of the most competitive markets because once people graduated from
college, they fully get benefits of having a college degree. For example, people get high–income,
career opportunities, and expand their knowledge base. A company pays more money to college
graduates because the college graduates have college degrees that show their abilities to the
company. Also, in job markets, almost everywhere now requires at least a bachelor's degree in order
to perform in its position; once people have a bachelor's degree, they could have a lot of
opportunities when they are getting a job. Furthermore, the college graduates

Examples Of Prisoner's Dilemma
The "Prisoner's Dilemma" is not an ideal situation to find oneself in. According to the article,
"Prisoner's Dilemma", the prisoner's dilemma is a paradox that is not an ideal outcome (2009, para.
1). If one confesses, then that individual gets a lighter sentence and then the other individual that
remains silent will receive a heftier sentence. If both remain silent then both will receive the same
minimal sentence, for example, both may receive a one–year sentence. Unfortunately, this hits close
to home and is not a pleasant situation to be in. Overall, it is best to remain silent and pay the
consequence for one's action. A taxpayer who has been cheating on their taxes could have a possible
audit and face penalties or criminal charges.

The Deforestation Of The Amazon Rainforest
A real life example of a social dilemma is the deforestation of the amazon rainforest. In the early
2000's rapid industrialisation, immense scales of agriculture and other economic activities led to
20% of the territory being destroyed. The scale of destruction particularly, within Brazil was so
large; NASA released an image confirming the effects were detectable from space, (Winter, 2014)
Many of the contributing parties to the problem included, developers, subsistence farmers, cattle–
ranchers, mining/quarrying, colonising and paper producers, (Butler, 2006). Let us take the later
example; paper producers that became tempted by mass production & felled for self–interest would
have significantly risked depletion of the forest. The consequences would have been potentially
catastrophic, the millions of species that the rainforest holds would have lost their habitats, (posing a
risk of extinction) and 15% of the world's carbon would have been released, (Scheer & Moss, 2012).
Without limits, lamentable freedoms of a common pool are what Hardin, (1968) described as "The
tragedy of the commons." Logically, the collective interest of all parties called for minimal
utilisation or withdrawal for long–term benefits but free reign meant higher profitability in the
short–term. Herein, lay the social dilemma, or more specifically common resource dilemma. Social
dilemmas have two fundamental properties: first, the temptation to serve self–interest receives a
higher payoff

Case Analysis Of Tarasoff Case
Tarasoff duty to warn/ protect is practiced by the therapist or psychologist to determine serious
threat of violence to another and they have reasonable care to warn and protect the potential victims
when there were foreseeable danger (Small, 2010). In Tarasoff case, the client, Poddar was intended
to kill his formal girlfriend, Tarasoff (Small, 2010). His personal psychologist was told about it.
However, no action was taken and this actually causes Poddar in carrying out his threat that he
killed Tarasoff (Small, 2010). The psychologist in–charge in were then sued for not being able to
inform the potential victim so that she can take precaution and protect herself from being harm
(Small, 2010). After several court cases, therapist is required and has the rights of duty to warn the
third parties to prevent any violent danger ready ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
His father did tell the therapist, Goldstein about the idea of his son hurting other and the therapist
urge that it is better to have his son hospitalized (Koocher and Spiegel, 2013). However, after some
time, the client took out his action and actually killed himself and the person, Ewing who is his
former girlfriend's current boyfriend (Koocher and Spiegel, 2013). Goldstein was then sued by
Ewing's father for not being able to warn their child from the risk (Koocher and Spiegel, 2013).
Even when therapist did not get to meet his client and was not informed about the intention of the
client to harm others, he was told by the client's father about his client's intention (Koocher and
Spiegel, 2013). Hence, the court further states that the therapist have the duty to warn the client and
also the third parties in order to protect them from any foreseeable danger after communicating with
the immediate family member or friends (Koocher and Spiegel,

The Concept of Prisoner's Dilemma
Prisoner's Dilemma The prisoner's dilemma is a concept in game theory. The basic concept revolves
around two criminals being interrogated separately and the choices offered to them which seem
counter intuitive (Goetze, D.,1994). Now to better understand this, we need understand what game
theory is and how this topic is related to it. Personality Assessments The personality assessments
reflected in the behaviors participants displayed during the game by were displayed very well. One
of the players, Monica fell up under the category of openness. Monica is a type of woman that does
have a lot of appreciation for life itself. She played the role of an accomplice as bank robber;
Monica does in general have appreciation for things like art. Monica found out through the
assessment that she is a very open person and in the game that kind of played against her. We broke
the game down into two sets and the first to play were Monica and Alex. The story tell began with a
small story, like this: two burglars, Monica and Alex, are seized near the scene of a burglary and
then in the game they are both given the "third degree" separately by the Eric and Susan who played
the fake police. Monica and Alex, now each, have to be able to choose whether or not to confess and
connect the other. If neither of them confesses, then we decided that in the game both will have to
clean all of our houses from head to toe for three months. In the game if Monica or Alex confesses
and implicates the

Prisoner's Dilemma & Beach Kiosk
Short Paper: Week 6
Prisoner's Dilemma and the Beach Kiosk Game
The Prisoner's Dilemma is a mathematical game theory that refers to a game in which the payoff
from playing the dominant strategy is not the highest payoff possible and illustrates how self–
interest can lead rational individuals and companies to pursue a course leading to mutual self–
destruction, even when that destruction is foreseeable or in the case of companies certain decisions
could have financial impact for better or worse. It seems that the Prisoner's Dilemma impacts the
many small decisions we consider making. The dilemma provides the logical framework for many
situations we face every day in real life. Whether we're competitors conducting business, spouses ...

Should Nasrallah accuse Syria, his friend, tell it all and get the reduced sentence? Or should he take
the full blame and remain silent about Syrian involvement? But what would be his reward for that?
Well it turned out that Hezbollah is accusing Isreal of Harir's death and the Tribunal accused two of
Hezbollah's members. The Tribunal asked Hezbollah to turn those accused men over however
Hezbollah has not done so "yet". In the "real" prisoner's dilemma, the only possible equilibrium for
the game is for all players to defect, meaning to betray their fellow prisoner. Syrian president Assad
may have already done that. Will Nasrallah follow? This is the question. We'll wait and see but the
payoff matrix might look like this:
Payoff Matrix Assad–Cooperate (Don't Confess) Assad–Defect (Confess)
Nasrallah–Cooperate (Don't Confess) N&A both get 3 years N get 30 years
A goes free
Nasrallah–Defect (Confess) N gets 30 years
A go free N&A both get 12 years
The Beach Kiosk Theory is another idea looking at stable and unstable equilibriums. The idea is
having two competitors within close vicinity of one another to capture more market share than the
competition. The noted scenario is at a beach that is 200 meters long. There are two people licensed
to sell soft drinks, snacks, etc. They can set up their kiosks anywhere they want on the beach. People
will go to whichever kiosk is closer. One choice is for one

Real Life Is Not Always Like The Movies
The classic example used to teach students Game Theory, and a frequent plot element of action
movies, is most often called the Mexican Standoff, where three people each have their guns pointed
toward the next and if one shoots, they all will shoot the next. How does one solve this dilemma? In
the movies, the hero or heroes of the movie never gets shot and always end up winning the Mexican
Standoff, often because of some quick move or through an outside influence changing the game.
However, real life is not always like the movies. In Mexico, there is a real–life Mexican Standoff
scenario occurring with the federal government, and a slew of cartels. Does game theory offer any
insight into why this international conflict is occurring or how we can solve it? As seen through the
lens of Game Theory, the Mexican Standoff can easily be solved and one can calculate the odds of
any one individual not being shot. Since there are three guns, there is a limited number of outcomes
that can occur from this scenario. The first person to shoot has the least chance of surviving since
then the third person would then shoot them. However, since the second person to shoot has the
advantage everyone is dis incentivised to shoot first, thus a standoff ensues. Usually, the standoff
ends when a fourth person either shoots someone in the standoff or creates a distraction so that one
of the people in the standoff can have the advantage to shoot the others. Something similar is

At first sight, Neil seems to have a better hand since he is able to have payments by using both of his
strategies while Bob can only win by using strategy 1.
It is obvious that Neil would better use strategy 1 in order to maximize his payoffs expectations. But
Bob would probably prefer using his second strategy than winning less than Neil, though it would
result in a Loose/Loose situation.
Bob will probably threatens to take strategy 2 if Neil chooses the first one. The only way to obtain a
Win/Win situation though is for Neil to make a commitment: he must promise to choose 2 if Bob
chooses 1.

This is the most basic commitment example.
Unique Win/Win situation
In the following one, there is one only scenario which allows the two player to win, but
commitments must be made buy both sides in order to reach the best situation for both.
Here, Neil will probably initially chose strategy 1 in order to avoid loss, but he won't be able to gain
anything though. Bob would probably choose to maximize his payoffs expectations by choosing the
first strategy. Finally, neither Bob nor Neil will get payoffs, so that we obtain a Loose/Loose result,
which is not acceptable.
They both have to promise to choose the second strategy in order to win.
Commitments and side payments
In this last example, it is not possible to reach a Win/Win agreement but by making side payment.
Side payments allows to change the total pie, and though to reach

The Ultimate Prisoner's Dilemma
1) I think that the nuclear arms race during the Cold War (some of us were alive and mostly aware
during that. ;)) is probably the ultimate Prisoner's Dilemma. All the places that have nuclear
weapons are kind of aiming them at each other. If one person fires first, chances are the response is
going to be swift and at some point, either survivors are attempting to survive nuclear winter, or
everybody's dead. Unless of course you happen to have a fallout shelter ––but how long can you
survive?
2) I'm not so sure that Hobbes' idea of a sovereign would have been possible in this case, although I
think the UN was/is probably the closest thing to it. You can't really pick one person to have lawful
control over the entire world. "You put that down!" ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Kind of wasn't the first time.
3) What's the best for all parties involved? Remember the movie 'War Games'? When someone asks,
"Do you want to play a game?", the answer here is really not to play at all. The doctrine of Mutual
Assured Destruction, or MAD was kind of a strange, but ultimately necessary replacement for a
sovereign. When many countries, in this case the main two superpowers have nuclear arms, the idea
of 'Han shot first' can't always be applied. Or, well. It can, it's just that chances are that the guy who
shoots first? They die second.
After the Cuban Missile Crisis, a détente held from there until the end of the Cold War. Some would
argue that the Cold War was one of the more peaceful times of the 20th century because of MAD,
for there was (and still is) a laundry list of countries with a nuclear arsenal, and no one wanted to be
Han Solo. Is MAD a better idea than having one sovereign to rule them all? Likely so, if only
because everyone firing at each other (Links to an external site.) just wasn't likely to happen and in
their own way, they were acting in their own best interest with a side of 'let's not kill all these
civilians' because we're going to eat it, too. What kind of life is it living in a fallout shelter on
Twinkies and tinned food,

Single Prisoner's Dilemma
As shown in the diagram, when the game is repeated twice, each prisoner has 16 possible outcomes.
Just as in the single Prisoner's Dilemma, the prisoners are looking for the best results for themselves,
so they will use the knowledge they have from the first game to make their choices in the second
one. Possible strategies could be: – Strategy 1: Always Defect This strategy, as the name suggests,
implies defecting the opponent in both games, no matter what his/her action in the first game is. For
that to happen, the Prisoner 1 needs to have one "D" in each of the both actions. Looking at Figure 1
again, from the 16 possible outcomes for that prisoner, 4 of them include that variable, they are
"DC,DC","DC,DD", "DD,DC" and "DD,DD". From that, we can conclude that the probability of the
outcome including two "Ds" in ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
= 16 4 The possible payoffs from the "Always Defect" strategy, in this case, would be "0,6", "2,5",
"2,5" and "4,4" years. It means that Prisoner 1 would be better off in 3 out of the 4 outcomes, which
represents 75% of chances of success. Presenting the next two strategies, it will be possible to
compare the payoffs and, therefore, decide which one would be the best option for a prisoner to use.
– Strategy 2: Always Cooperate This strategy is the opposite from the previous one. Instead of
always choosing "D", the prisoner always chooses "C". For that to happen, Prisoner 1 needs to have
a "C" in each of the both actions. Looking once again at Figure 1, it is possible to conclude that the
chances of it to happen are the same as in "Always Defect" strategy, however, the outcomes will be
different, and so will the payoffs. In this case, the outcomes would be "CC,CC","CC,CD","CD,CC"

Michael Pollan Omnivore Dilemma
Michael Pollan in 2006, published a work that has to some degree changed the way that people eat,
or at the very least attempted to change the way that we think about the food we eat. (Shea 54)
Pollan demonstrates through fundamentally modern rhetoric the relationship that people, and more
specifically American's have with food and how very distant we are from it. ("History, Old Favorites
in" B08) To some degree Pollan, others like him and internationally challenging food shortages and
even worse food born illnesses and scares are changing the way that food is understood with regard
to an international and national food traceability and accountability movement. (Popper 365) Pollan
challenges the "industrial food chain" looking at ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
the link between the way we choose to separate ourselves from the farmer and the market, with little
thought and the fact that we use way to much corn and petroleum to manufacture and obtain our
food, then logically get taken by the marketing of "organic" food and then the difficulty of a one
time experience challenging the market to forage in the environment we live. The ethos of the work
is derived from the fact that Pollan is willing and able as an individual, on a very intimate level to
trace all these links to a formidable conclusion, as well as his own credential as a consumer and a
food writer. (Shea 54) "He vividly describes his experiences and what he has learned, so the reader
can participate in his exploration of the many worlds of food in the United States." (Flannery 51)
Oil underlines Pollan's story about agribusiness, but corn is its focus. American cattle fatten on corn.
Corn also feeds poultry, pigs and sheep, even farmed fish. But that's just the beginning. In addition
to dairy products from corn–fed cows and eggs from corn–fed chickens, corn starch, corn oil and
corn syrup make up key ingredients in prepared foods. High–fructose corn syrup sweetens
everything from juice to toothpaste. Even the alcohol in beer is corn–based. Corn is in everything
from frozen yogurt to ketchup, from mayonnaise and mustard to hot dogs and bologna, from salad
dressings to vitamin pills. "Tell me what you eat," said

Lords of War Simulation
The Lords of War Simulation is best described by the neo–liberalist theory. Neo–liberalism best
describes this game because it supports the ideology that everything humans do is in their own self
interest. The theory also believes that people only cooperate with each other out of fear; actions of
people playing Lords of War validate this theory. To succeed, neo–liberals need cooperation,
institutions to mediate, as well as a fear of being defected on. Neo– liberals do not feel that humans
are good in nature, but will argue that they have the capacity to bond together for the greater good,
for their own personal benefit.
By definition neo–liberalism is "a reinterpretation of liberalism that posits that even in an anarchic
international ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
North Korea is acting in its own self interest because as long as they agree to not threaten countries
with their new technology, they will receive many necessities for their country.
Other theorists would try and say that in the Lords of War simulation, people were only going to do
what would make them the most powerful, and realist would say that all of the participants would
have defected even with the institutions; and even though some people still defected, the majority
did cooperated. Realists would also say that a security dilemma would have occurred, and people
would have tried to make allies to only help themselves, whereas people cooperated out of fear of
losing trust, thus making them an opponent to be defected on consistently. Constructivists would
argue that people shared a sense of identity and norms, but this game proved that there was no
collective identity or norms to be shared. People just played the game in accordance to their own
wants, needs and personal beliefs. And the liberals would argue that people are genuinely good and
will come together to act in the best nature for all. This game has proven that the intent and nature of
humans is not genuinely good, and people do not cooperate because it is the right thing to do, they
cooperate out of fear that

Taking a Look at the Omnivore's Dilemma
What am I exactly eating? Where does our food come from? Why should I care? "The Omnivore's
Dilemma" may forever change the way you think about food. I enjoyed Mr. Pollan's book, "The
Omnivore's Dilemma" and learned a great deal of information. Pollan's book is a plea for us to stop
and think for a moment about our whole process of eating. Pollan sets out to corn fields and natural
farms, goes hunting and foraging, all in the name of coming to terms with where food really comes
from in modern America and what the ramifications are for the eaters, the eaten, the economy and
the environment. The results are far more than I expected them to be.
I had no idea we used so much fossil fuel to get corn to grow as much as it does. There is a
widespread of obesity today due to the need of agricultural excesses of corn. I hadn't thought, for
example that anyone could give me any more reasons not to eat HOT French fries at McDonalds,
but Pollan did!
The first section of this book traces a meal at McDonalds back to its basic ingredient–corn. From the
corn that feeds the chickens to the xanthan gum in the milkshake to the sweetener in the ketchup and
oil in which the fries are cooked, McDonalds is mostly corn. Since Fast Food Nation and the other
exposes, I don't think there's anyone who cares who doesn't know how gross fast food is, and Pollan
admirably stays away from the yuckiest. Instead, he goes to accusing Americans who eat food of
having become like koalas, capable of absorbing

not do or say anything outside of this. It is important that we know who to go to if we need advice in
case we find ourselves in a situation that we are not comfortable with. Line manager will tell us who

In order to respond to complaints, it is important to be aware of any existing comments and
complaints procedures in accordance with agreed ways of working
Comments and complaints can be made by the children and young people we work with, colleagues,
families or anyone who feels there is something wrong that needs to be addressed. Many people,
especially the individuals we support, do not know how to make comments or complaints. Some
individuals will feel uncomfortable about making complaints as they do not want to cause trouble

and they do not want to risk services being reduced or removed.

Prisoner's Dilemma Essay
The theory of Public Goods and Prisoner's Dilemma games have been used on numerous occasions
to characterize bargaining situations in the International Political Economy. The Prisoners Dilemma
is an abstract game model that is often used to depict the difficulties that governments face when
trying to cooperate in the global economy. Unfortunately, within International Trade, there are
aspects that may take the form of the prisoner's dilemmas than public goods. Public goods are also
called collective goods. These are goods that cannot practically be withheld from one consumer
without withholding them from all. In the Prisoner's Dilemma model, only one prisoner, or state can
go free. This situation can only happen at the expense of the others. A country can liberalize, by
opening its market to for another country to export. A country can protect itself by using tariffs to
keep the other countries products out of its domestic market. The prisoner's dilemma outcome of
protect and liberalize are more preferred than to liberalize and liberalize because the initiator gains
from the tariffs, while their trading partner benefits from being able to access from that country. The
theory highlights that when each country pursue their own self– interest, then the outcomes are
worse than if they had of cooperated with another country. Although, it does show that cooperation
is not always in one's best interests. Pareto optimal is where there is no single actor or state that is
better off

Prisoner's Dilemma Examples
For the purpose of this discussion, I will discuss situations like the prisoner dilemma, in which
rational self–interested people all do worse by independently pursuing self–interest. The prisoner's
dilemma refers to a conflict in doing what is best for one's own interest over what is in the best
interest of the group; therefore, doing what is needed to receive the least amount of jail time for
oneself. In the end, each of the prisoners does better by failing to cooperate, but not as good if they
had just cooperated with their agreement between each other and stayed silent. This type of dilemma
happens throughout all of society between individuals, groups, companies, and countries. An
example includes groups over fishing, thereby, depleting ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

To help you understand the impact, I live in a very small, rural community where everyone knows
everyone, and do not have large companies to help provide community support through community
outreach or 'give–back' programs. The wife holds a board member position for soccer, and football
for the husband. The soccer board is choosing to slander football and advertise that football is to
expensive, so choose soccer. Knowing, that the overhead cost of the two sports are not even in the
same ballpark, and the football board members have participated in community fundraising to help
support the soccer team in the past several years. The husband provided proof to the football board;
leaving the football board refusing to help support the community fundraising that supports the
soccer league. Instead of cooperating, to support each other, and leaving the decision to which sport
to the player and their parents; both organizations will receive less support from each other and
possibly loose respect from the parents, players, and the community. The actions of the soccer board
may be have enrolled a few more kids by slandering the football organization, but the overall season
financial income would have been greater if they would have just cooperated with

This paper further examines The Prisoner's Dilemma. The Prisoner's Dilemma is a situation where
two prisoners are placed into isolation cells and they can choose to either stay silent or confess. This
game of probability that has taken many forms, but the concept is always the same. There are two
people who have been arrested and can choose to either remain silent or confess. I first become
interested in the prisoner's dilemma while reading The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee
Stewart. The prisoner's dilemma is only briefly touched upon in this novel, but I was intrigued
enough to want to peruse a further analysis. In this paper the prisoner's dilemma will be further
analyzed using probability prediction methods. The Prisoner's Dilemma was developed in the 1950s
by game theorists Dresher and Flood. These theorists were working to determine the possibility of
intercontinental nuclear warfare. It was developed during experiments that tested to see how people
behaved in particular situations. The original situation surrounded two people deciding whether to
buy a car. The introduction of two prisoners to this situation was added by Princeton mathematician

Prisoner's Disability
When it comes this version of game theory, I argue that the most rational choice to make would be
to defect. Considering that there was a one–time interaction with our partner and our ability to
participate in the rest of the "game" required having points it seemed rational to defect where at least
you could get one point. Moreover, the first part of Hobbes game was a normal form game (i.e.
Prisoner's Dilemma) and it is well known that the best strategy for this is to defect. This is mainly
because since it is a one–time interaction, the other person has really no reason not to screw you
over, and both sides know it meaning both side would presumably choose to defect. I took this all
into consideration and recognized that defecting was the

The Ethical Principles Of Respect For Autonomy
The case scenario presents Mark who has been involved in a car accident. Mark has suffered
significant internal bleeding and needs a blood transfusion immediately for his survival. This has
been clearly stated by his attending doctor. Mark is still conscious and oriented. Mark is a Jehovah's
Witness and receiving blood is against his religion. Mark signs a Refusal of Treatment document
stating his wish not to receive a blood transfusion under any circumstances. His girlfriend, Pam,
wants him to receive blood and is asking the nurse to administer blood despite Mark's refusal. This
situation presents an ethical dilemma to the health professionals involved in Mark's care. The ethical
dilemma is whether to uphold his decision not to receive the blood and therefore risk his life or give
him the blood to save his life despite knowing his religious status and beliefs. There are several
ethical principles involved in this scenario. The ethical principles of respect for Autonomy,
Beneficence, Non–maleficence, Veracity and Fidelity will be discussed in the latter part of this
essay. There are also legal concepts to be considered in this scenario which are legal principles of
'Consent' and 'Right to refuse treatment' which can also be addressed as the contemporary issues that
is being faced by the health practitioners these days.

South Korea 's order of preference among the choices are:
1. unification under a democratic system,
2. "peaceful" unification
3. the status quo,
4. unification under a communist system.
What can be said about these four outcomes as they apply to the Prisoner 's Dilemma? First, neither
North nor South Korea sees the status quo as the worst choice. Second, each side sees the opponents
most desired outcome as its worst possible outcome. Third, each side prefers a "peaceful
unification" to the status quo. And lastly, neither side prefers a "peaceful unification" to its own best
choice. The result of this is, as in the matrix in Figure 1 the preferred choice is the dominating
strategy for both North (B2 dominating B1) and South (A2 dominating A1). Specifically, North
Korea prefers a communist settlement of unification to either the status quo or a "peaceful"
unification. South Korea prefers a democratic settlement to either the status que or a "peaceful"
unification. Thus, the dilemma that faces both sides is: since neither side can have its own best
choice, they settle for the status quo. This is done in spite of the fact that the possibility of a peaceful
settlement to unification is exists (a "peaceful" unification) that might be better for both sides than
their own optimal choice. Neither side can choose collective interest over self–interest because they
are forced to assume that the other will follow the

September 2015, Lyft cooperated with Didi–Kuaidi that is the Uber's biggest competitor in China.
This is really convenience for American and Chinese. For example, if Chinese traveled in U.S., they
can use Didi–Kuaidi to submit a trip request to Lyft driver. Since the emergence of Lyft, some of
Uber's consumers and drivers switch to Lyft. Price war started after Lyft appeared in the ride–
sharing service market. In order to get more customers, Uber cut the price by 20% in January 2014,
it then became the cheapest ride–sharing service in the market. At this point, Uber is playing a game
of chicken. In this chicken game, Uber and Lyft are two players. They both have two actions that are
lower price and stay with current price. Uber chooses to lower price. Lyft would either cut price
down or lose some customers. If Lyft chooses to lower price, they both would end up with negative
payoff, which bad for both players. If Lyft stays with current price, some Lyft users would switch to
Uber. Thus, Uber would have higher payoff than Lyft, and they both would have positive payoff. In
fact, Lyft cut price by as much as 30% in April 2014. This indicates that they both result in negative
payoff. The price war between Uber and Lyft is still on fire. Uber has lower price many

Gaming Theory & Prisoner's Dilemma
Game theory is concerned with predicting the outcome of games of strategy in which the
participants (for example two or more businesses competing in a market) have incomplete
information about the others' intentions (Gittins, 2012)
Game theory analysis has direct relevance to the study of the conduct and behavior of firms in
oligopolistic markets – for example the decisions that firms must take over pricing and levels of
production, and also how much money to invest in research and development spending. (Pu–yan

Applying the Prisoner's Dilemma to Business Decisions
Game theory examples revolve around the pay–offs that come from making different decisions.
In the prisoner's dilemma the reward to defecting is greater than mutual cooperation which itself
brings a higher reward than mutual defection which itself is better than the sucker's pay–off.
Critically, the reward for two players cooperating with each other is higher than the average reward
from defection and the sucker's pay–off. (Economics Online)
Consider this example of a simple pricing game:
The values in the table refer to the profits that flow from making a particular output decision. In this
simple game, the firm can choose to produce a high or a low output. The profit payoff matrix is

The stock and the fundamental reality of the company can become divorced. Eventually, the stock
price will reconnect with economic reality, given the way the markets have priced future profits.
People should pay attention to the indicators that suggest the bubble trend is maturing. For example,
when the Federal Reserve is raising interest rates, investors should not be in equities. Investors need
to recognize the historical significance of a shift in the fundamental economic environment, as
bubbles will continue to occur. The question is what will be the impact on the subsequent asset class
that experiences bubble mania.
Behavioral Finance and the psychology of investing – Greg La Blanc How can a bubble ever occur?
For markets to be efficient, the only element that has to be true is that prices consistently reflect the
information available at that time. However, bubbles are now developing in faster intervals and in
different sectors of the market. Experience flattens out the makings of a bubble and experience also
benefits investors by means of avoiding repeated errors in a particular investment.

When Sidney Stewart was freed in Manchuria in 1945 after 3 years of imprisonment by the
Japanese, the 6'3 American weighed 65 pounds (Goldstein). Stewart was an Army private stationed
in Manila in 1942 when they were overpowered by the Japanese. The 21 year–old wasn't the killing
type of soldier. Of course he killed when required, but he wasn't murderous. He'd been sent to Luzon
on the Bataan peninsula after the Japanese invasion and was soon captured after his group
surrendered. The deaths began immediately–surrender is not an option to the Japanese who told
them "you are not honorable prisoners of war. You are captives and you shall be treated as captives"
(Stewart, 84). ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It wasn't a matter of hatred for Stewart–at least not in the beginning. He didn't want to be like them.
Again, Stewart encountered another ethical dilemma with killing. He wrote, "yesterday we had
found the body of one of our men. His hands and feet were cut off, and bayonets were driven into
his stomach" (Stewart, 66). This undisguised, illegal, disrespect for their human enemy is enough to
infuriate anyone. After his group's surrender to the Japanese they were put into rows and searched.
He wrote, "I had a little medical kit strapped to my belt" (Stewart, 72). A guard emptied it and found
"a bottle of Sodium Amytal, a potent sleeping medicine. 'Yaroshi? Are they good?' I looked at him,
sensing his sense of superiority and hating him for it" (Stewart, 72–73). This is an entirely different
response to the Japanese man he'd encountered earlier. He told the guard "they are very good. He
gulped them down. I felt a small triumph. I knew he would live only a few minutes" (Stewart, 73).
He'd now experienced the brutality from the Japanese which aroused anger because his opinions of
the Japanese were no longer just the culmination of stories. This was real. He could have told the
guard that the pills would kill him but chose to let him die–and he felt good for it.
Stewart encountered an ethical dilemma when he put his pride aside for the benefit of

Subjectivity and Perception Definition Subjectivity in relation to perception (the ability to process a
situation), is defined as the length that personal feelings, past experiences, and preconceived notions
affect a person's (in international politics, a state) judgment. While most political scientists and other
highly intellectual individuals attempt to examine a problem or situation as objectively as possible,
it's nearly impossible to completely eliminate subjectivity. Subjectivity plays a large part in a state's

In the 1960's, the idea of a "missile gap" developed; the United States was ahead in the race to
develop the world's largest ICBM missile arsenal and would continue to do so. When the Soviet
Union placed nuclear missiles in Cuba, merely 90 miles of the coast of the United States, the
perception that the United States was invincible to foreign threat quickly changed, prompting
President John F. Kennedy to issue this statement, "It shall be the policy of this Nation to regard any
nuclear missile launched from Cuba against any nation in the Western Hemisphere as an attack by
the Soviet Union on the United States, requiring a full retaliatory response upon the Soviet Union."
The fact that Soviet missiles were located in Cuba is objective, but to the extent of the purpose the
Soviet Union had for maintaining those missiles there is subjective; while the Soviet Union stated
that it was to protect its ally Cuba from any United States' aggravation, the United States believed
the move was to move deadly weapons into a smaller range to retaliate against the United States

In class, we were taught the prisoner dilemma. This was explained using a scenario with two people
getting arrested because of a crime that they committed. At first, I was very much confused on how
the prisoner dilemma was first explained, but once I understood it, I started to understand why
people have trust issues. In the example for the prisoner's dilemma, the two–people got arrested for
some minor crime. However, the cops think that the crime they committed is more serious, but they
don't have enough evidence to convict them. So, the cops put both of them in jail and put both of
them in separate rooms to get a confession. In this situation, the police gave them a choice. The first
choice was to admit that your partner admitted the crime

unprecedented rate. Nowadays people find the ease of staying at home to watch television or movies
or play videogames much more appealing than going out to the bowling alley with their friends for a
game of bowling. You would think in today's modern and constantly connected world that it would
be easier than ever to organise your group of friends to go for a game of bowling, but that isn't the
case. Despite being constantly connected to the world, organising a large group event is quite
difficult because people tend to ignore their devices as some sort of respite, to clear their minds from
the stresses of the modern day and to get some peace and quiet. Unlike, say 20 years ago, when you

This semester so far in Core 5, we have learned about the Prisoner's Dilemma. It is a situation in
which people each have options as to how to react to something. However, what is unique about this
decision, is that each person's decision is directly affected by the other person's decision, and vice
versa. The outcome of their reaction is dependent on what the other person decided to say. The
popular example is of two prisoners who each must separately decide on whether or not to confess
to a crime. Each prisoner has the choice as to confess to the crime or to deny their own involvement.

Prisoner's Dilemma
Say you just got caught doing something illegal but the police don't have evidence of your crime.
Would you stay silent and spend a year in jail or confess and spend five years? Normally, this is an
easy task but when there's an accomplice involved the game changes. The lack of communication as
well as the question of trust are factors that make choosing to stay silent or confess, difficult. In this
paper, I will explain the prisoner's dilemma and why staying silent is the best option that is
beneficial to both the prisoner's even though they are attempting to earn the least amount of time
each.
The prisoner's dilemma is a game theory in which two men are caught drug running and are
imprisoned in different cells unable to communicate. They each have their own lawyer and both are
confronted with the choices to stay silent or to confess. They are told that if they both choose to stay
silent, then they will each serve one year with a lesser offense of possessing dangerous weapons due
to no evidence of the major crime. If one confesses and the other stays silent then the one that
confesses will be freed for turning in evidence and the other will be imprisoned for 10 years as well
as be charged for the major crime. If they both confess, they will both serve 5 years. They both want
to serve the least amount of time for their crime and are both rational. There is no opportunity to
change the decision after it has been made and neither of them knows what decision the other will
make. This dilemma is a type of dominance principle, where the best plan will gain the prisoner a
larger benefit or payoff than the other strategies with the least amount of risk. In this case, the payoff
would be the time spent in prison; the less time in prison, the larger the payoff is.
With this theory, the most, rational decision would be to stay silent. This is the best decision because
both prisoners are equally rational and want to spend the least time in prison. They will, therefore,
deduce that staying silent will be the best rational decision since they will both be in prison for only
one year as well as be charged for the lesser crime of possessing dangerous weapons. If they both
choose to confess, they will be both worse off

ways for him to obtain coverage or to find primary providers that provide licensed care at a lower
cost. When looking at Emilio S point of view, he enjoys gardening, going to church and doing small

However, our game was not based on these so called rational choices. Instead, we looked at what
would benefit us the best. Or perhaps we considered who our opponent was and adjusted our
strategy accordingly. Game Theory does not provide explanations for these variables. It would be
interesting to see if one could create a mathematical scheme that could include such variables as
"irrationality" and relationships. However, it would be extremely difficult to try to attempt to predict
the unpredictable. This particular game did take into account one extra possibility upon setting up
the parameters. Interestingly enough, Game Theory takes into account the possibility of players
rigging the game such that each player trades off who is the "Traitor" and who is the "Sucker," in
other words they switch between cooperation and defection. It is an interesting strategy that, in
theory, would possibly work and pay off, however does not play out well in reality. The example
that comes to mind is working on school projects in a group, perhaps your partner is your best
friend. You both agree to trade off who does the work. This assignment it's your turn, the next
assignment will be completed by the friend. In theory, this is a nice trade off. In reality, there are a
