today we played the prisoner's dilemma as an exercise in class...well a variation of it.
my opposition in class was some girl who refused to cooperate, so we both lost out in the end. Many people defected in the game to earn more money by breaking trust. I think the exercise was supposed to teach us that cooperative negotiation..aka. tit for tat yeilds the most optimum result. Competitive negotiation eventually fails once the trust has been diluted. He says that often we don't serve our best interests in trying to win..
The whole ordeal made me think about American vs. other nations. I can see so easily how they can hate us..how capitalism and morality do not go hand in hand. Our business practices are and have been unethical for years. Everyone in this country has to be aware of this..but is there much we can do about it?
I want to say more on us vs. world but it's just not nice...and i don't want to be pinned a traitor..hehehehe
I guess for now it's just me making observations..it's so easy to make accusations and judgements when you're standing on the mountain. how can i even begin to touch on the hurt and pain of others who wish us dead beyond reason. why don't they educate us on these things? why do we deny this hatred? ignore it...as we have for years. America the great... that's all we need to know. :P
