 In this lesson, the first thing we did in class was to do a trust test within a mini group.

The questions were whether to cooperate in a task given in school and to whether to cooperate in a project in a company. 

Decision1:  I would cooperate. All of my group members are from the same class and one of them was in the same class as last year. I have no issue in having friendship between each other. Every group member are discipline and diligent enough for me to trust each other and cooperate. Although my scores might get low, I would like to keep friendships important as high school will end quite fast.

Decision2:  I would cooperate. By cooperating, not only our salary increases, but the efficiency of the company would increase. Doing jobs alone wouldn’t be comfortable and suitable for me to sustain my motivation in the work. Also, I don’t think there would be any betrayer within my group.

As my group members and I shared our thoughts, there was 1 betrayer for the first question. However, for the second question, there were 3 betrayers. I was suprised to find out that the number of betrayers had increased. This activity allowed me to imagine what an international relationship is like. It is very difficult to decide whether to trust the opponent or not as there are no evidence that the opponent would not betray you.
