Authors/Creators
Description
This paper examines the fundamental principles of game theory in the context of everyday social interactions. Using the concepts of the Prisoner’s Dilemma and Nash Equilibrium, it analyzes conflicts between individual interests and collective welfare. Strategic decision-making in education, business, social media, and public resource usage is explored. The findings indicate that repeated interactions and social trust play a crucial role in mitigating suboptimal outcomes.
