Nash equilibrium- This is like a compromise. In this both people benefit the same amount.


Game theory- In this you try to figure out an opponent’s strategy. In this you are trying to only benefit yourself.


Prisoner dilemma- This is an example of plea bargaining. It would benefit both the most is they agreed with each other.


Describe your experience and thoughts after you have played the game a few times.(50 words)


I feel like this online game was a lot like how we reacted when we played the game as a class. In the online game as long as you would keep agreeing to cooperate with the computer it would continue to cooperate with you, but as soon as you started to compete with it, it would compete against you until you decided to cooperate with it again.

Give an example of Game Theory/prisoner dilemma:

In history: Cuban Missile Crisis

In Government: Government negotiating trades with other countries

In economics: Negotiating Oil 

related to sociology:  making a decision that can affect the others around you

related to psychology: any emotional decision

In your everyday life: Deciding what to eat for supper



Tell me your thoughts on the oil pricing activity and the other group activities we did in class. 

I really enjoyed this unit. All the activities we did were a lot of fun to play. I really enjoyed playing the oil pricing game in class.


On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being great rate the activities we have done in class with the unit.  What are some things that can be done to improve the overall unit?

I rate this unit as a 10 and I don’t think you should change anything to make it better.

INKBLOT TEST

I think that the Rorschach Inkblot test is a very interesting method for evaluating people. According to the test, most of my answers were classified in the good or commonly answered category. Although some of my answers fell in the good category some of my other answers fell in the bad category. I don’t believe though that it is the most accurate way to evaluate people. For example, I think you would have to consistently be categorized in the insane category to actually categorize someone as insane. Just because you have one or two things in the insane category, I do not think that would be enough to classify you as an insane person. Just take a look at when we did these tests in class. On a few of the questions, some of the answers kids gave fell into categories like mentally defective, schizophrenic, and even paranoid and horrified, but I do not think any of the kids that answered these questions this way are any of those things. That is why the test might be slightly inaccurate because you cannot base people on how they answered one question and I think for this test to work they would have to be consistent on all of the questions that they answer.

Questions
A.    What is intelligence? ability to learn from experience, to think rationally, and to deal effectively with others ability to learn from experience, to think rationally, and to deal effectively with others
B.      Which is more important:  emotional intelligence or intellectual intelligence? I believe that emotional intelligence in more important than intellectual because if a person in not stable emotionally they won’t be intellectually either
C.      Is intelligence learned or inherited? I believe it is a little of both because I think you get some from your parents but there is other stuff you have to learn along the way

Autism risk genes also linked to higher intelligence
Autism is a disability in people which they suffer from significant language and speech difficulties. A recent study that was performed has found that the genes linked with autism are also linked to the genes that lead to higher intelligence. So for someone who has the genes that are linked to lead to a greater risk of autism are also likely to develop a high intelligence level. They say it is unclear why autism and intelligence is related. Even though some of the people with autism have an intellectual disability, others with the disorder have average or even above average non-verbal intelligence. The group of researchers who had been working on this particular project did a study and found that even the people that have never been diagnosed with autism, even if they just carried traits that are associated with this disorder, they tended to score a little higher than others on cognitive tests.
