Yay cooperation! :)
When i played prisoner's dilemma, at first I started out competing and found that while i competed, serendip cooperated, giving me 5 and serendip 0. however after that, serendip always competed, so (since i always competed as well) our totals only went up by 1 each turn. After a few rounds, i realized the the best way to play (i think!) was to cooperate from the start! i found that serendip generally only 'competed' after I competed first, thus if i cooperated, it cooperated too -- leading to the benefit of both of us.
In my own life, i'm not sure where i might have a prisoner's dilemma. I guess one place i can see it in the classroom (echoing the people before me :D). I think that win-win situations occur when both the student and the professor are both putting in the necessary effort so that the professor does a good job in teaching his or her craft, and the student actually LEARNS something from the teacher. A win-lose situation would be if one end was putting in more effort than the other, such as if a professor puts in ALOT to try to make class fun/interesting, but the student doesn't put in the effort (doesn't care, sleeps, doesn't attend class etc) and thus doesn't learn anything. A lose-lose situation would be if neither cared? The professor doesn't put in very much effort to teach well and the student not putting in the effort to learn!
