Nash equilibrium-
Someone doesn’t change the way that they are doing their work. They keep going with the same thing over and over again.

Game theory-
When there are two people competing for someone and one wants to win more than the other. The other person decides to let the other person win.

Prisoner dilemma-
Not knowing if someone will agree with you. They finally decide to agree with what you negotiated.
I think that it would be interesting to see what would have happened before what we did in class the last couple of days. If I didn’t know what was going on I don’t think I would have done playing this game. I think that it was a little different than what we did in the classroom. Depending on what you picked it would depend on the score that you would receive.
Give an example of Game Theory/prisoner dilemma:

In history: wars, trying to create a strategies

In Government:
vote, voting for the right person
In economics:
trading bonds- making sure you trade for the right price and if you don’t make sure you have a plan
related to sociology:

related to psychology:
thing of a plan
In your everyday life:
which roads to drive to school
I think that it was a good idea to do this activity. This was interesting to see how people think differently. It was interesting to see how people play games and if they get mad if they lost. How they would change the way they negotiated with the other team.

9 I don’t think anything should be changed. It would just be different if we could have played with a different class to change things up a bit.

I think that it was interesting to see what some of the common answers to what people actually see. I wasn't sure of some of them and didn't know what you could actually see. But once we went over what you should see I could see it. I think that it is good to know if you can actually see something in the inkblots or not. Because if you can’t see something in any of them there could be something wrong, or the picture is just not one to look at. I think that it is accurate on what the results are for some people, but not everyone. You would have to go to someone that really knows a lot about inkblots. I think it would have been a little easier if we would have got to turn the all the pictures and see from all the different angles. Because there could have been some different answers than the ones that people said they had saw for the ones that weren't turned all around. I think the results should be kept to the person themselves unless they feel the need they should show or tell other people about what they saw and found out what it meant to them.

teaching experience

When I had to teach someone how to cook at work, it can be difficult at times. First I made sure that I was doing the easiest way so that the person could understand it. I made sure that she would measure the right things out and made sure that her timings where correct so that everything would get done on time. I also made sure she knew were everything that she would need was at. I made sure she didn't start things to early or too late. This was hard at times for her to understand because she just thought that she could let everything cook for the same amount of time and not time it. In order to have everything done on time and not cold by the time you take it out she needed to make sure she was timing everything. She then started to understand what she was doing and now she can cook on her own without any help.

What is your favorite word? Sure
What is your least favorite word? Disappointed
what one thing do you like about your life? I have very good friends
What one thing do you not like about your life? Having to drive 30 miles to school
What profession would you like to attempt? Human Services Technician- Youth Offender  
What profession would you never attempt? Dental assisting
What 3 words describe you? Short, stubborn, nice 

I hope to learn what makes people act and behave the way they do, in specific situations. This will also hopefully help me in what I have chosen as my career path in life as a Youth Offender.  Human behavior is very complicated and this class should help understand it more. Understanding the thoughts and behaviors of the human race should be helpful when working with the youth and their parents/ guardian. This class will help me realize that not everyone learns the same, and reacts in the same way to certain situations. I hoping it will help me to insure that I am choosing the right path in my choice of career that I have chosen. I was considering going to school for nursing, if by chance I decide to later on in life to take that path, this class will most certainly be of use. Attending college and having a roommate this could help us getting along better. This is the only other class I could take because I already took the other class that is being offered during this period. But I am kind of excited and hoping that it will really help me now and in the future.
