Nice Guys Finish First (Prisoner's Dilemma) (The Selfish Gene pg.202-233).

The Prisoner’s Dilemma was difficult to understand at first. After understanding, it was very interesting to see how people react towards different situations in which they have to choose between different options without knowing what the other person will do. I relate this to my reading because it is the perfect example and explanation to human selfishness, and to what Dawkins has been trying to prove.
I related this dilemma with something that could happen to any student in CNG at any time. For example, three friends are called into the office because one of them stole an exam. The principal puts the “witnesses” in different rooms, and the one that stole the exam sits outside. Both friends have two choices, either they tell the truth and get rewarded (loved) by the teachers, or they stay quiet and do not gain a good reputation with their teachers. However, if one of them helps the teachers and the other one doesn’t, one will be really appreciated by the teachers while the other will not. The same thing happens if they act in the opposite way. If they both stay quiet neither wins anything but both help their friend. I thought this was the best way to relate the prisoner’s dilemma to my own life, and the best way to explain what I understood about the dilemma
