Prisoner 's Dilemma Since the beginning of the history humans have been competing for their benefits. It is the basic instinct we have until we are dead. Even to born there is a race between cells. I think prisoners dilemma situation is the best example for that instinct. Kollocks (1990) declared that people are trapped by the Prisoner 's Dilemma only if they treat themselves as prisoners by passively accepting the suboptimum strategy the dilemma locks them into, but if they try to work out a contract with the other players, or find the ones most likely to cooperate, or agree on rules for punishing cheaters, or artificially change the incentive ratios - they can create an institution for collective action that benefits them all. However, there are some factors may help overcome. Firstly, if the one you 're competing with is from family, the way we look at the situation can change. Secondly, if there will be a better option in the future, people can easily deal with prisoners dilemma. Besides, trust can be re-established for a lot of people because it is another instinct we have forever. All the time people trust others again and again. It does not matter how many times they fail. Prisoner 's dilemma shows us that there is a cooperation as long as both sides of the agreement have benefits, but there will be conflict between them when they decide to share big pie because everyone wants more if it is possible. To illustrate this class results show us that even in collectivistic societies like Turkey prisoner 's dilemma have same result because it is the hunger for more inside of people. Let’s look at the history, it is made up of wars, inventions, betrayals for more. Moreover, culture may affect the way how they negotiate but result will be same for every nation. All in all, people may seem to be reasonable if they do not feel themselves in trouble because under safety conditions every human being
