Intelligence

Nash Equilibrium – a state of balance

Game Theory – knowing your opponents move before hand as strategy

Prisoner’s Dilemma – two people have to make a choice without knowing the other’s decision

Prisoner’s Dilemma Game

                After playing the game a couple of times, I think that it is a very strategic game. It looks simple but there is more to it than meets the eye. I just imagine a situation that would involve these choices. I feel like if you cooperate and then compete you are betraying the other person.

In History – War; knowing the enemies moves beforehand

In Government – knowing the other world powers moves beforehand

In Economics – You have two firms, Pepsi and Coca-Cola and each makes there prices high but one will compete and lower their price taking consumers away from the other.

In Sociology – playing chess

In Psychology – playing chess

In my everyday life – playing chess

Election Reflection

During this election I seemed to pay attention to it more than the last two. It is probably because I am older. I learned that this election system is terrible since it allowed two terrible candidates to be the final two. We had a business man who wasn’t a politic and then we had a brain-damaged, sick, liar. I also learned a lot about the Electoral College and that the popular vote is just a sort of guide. I learned that they didn’t really talk about issues. I know that some of those issues are important but they never talked about it. All they did was argue with each other.

My ten predictions for Donald Trump:

1    He will form relations with Russia and China.

      He will put portraits of himself all over the White House.

     He will make America great again.

     He will form a lot of jobs.

     He will deport all the illegals.

     He will eventually come around to putting Hillary in prison

     He will not get rid of our debt.

      He will win the next election.

      He will not be able end ISIS.

       He will lower taxes.

Who am I?

I am HJG and I am very quiet in public but when at home I will speak my mind. I am annoyed very easily but I usually ignore it.  I was born in 1999, on April 8, in Sisseton. I like to solve puzzles and write. I also like to play games.

Donald Trump, Sociopath or Narcissist

I think that Donald Trump is a sociopath. Both of my sources also claim the same thing. The big reason is that he lacks a conscience and believe it or not, he is anti-social. Both of these are connected to the reasons as to why he will give people names, for example: “Lyin’ Ted”, “Little Marco”, and “Crooked Hillary”. He does this because he doesn’t know how to get along with other people. Also, calling Ms. Universe Ms. Piggy is another example.

                It is stated in one of the sources that this kind of disorder would have started in his childhood or early teens. Another reason as to why he is anti-social is his inflated and arrogant self-appraisal. The way you can tell that he thinks this way is that he thinks that ordinary work and normal laws, such as taxes, are beneath him. Also he has a lack of realistic concern for current problems and the future. Also, he is very self-assured and you can tell this by how cocky he is about winning the presidency.

                He could also be a narcissist while he is but he is more of a sociopath. Another example as to why he is a sociopath is because that he is a huge risk taker. He wants the countries we protect to pay us to protect them. This could end up with countries not wanting our protection and siding with the enemy or an enemy. He also wants to stop trade with China. He mentions China a lot so we believe he is right so he feels he is doing the right thing. These are all of the reasons as to why I think that Trump is more of a sociopath than a narcissist. I still think that he is better than Hillary though.

My Amendment

I think that there is a need for an amendment that forces you to say the pledge of allegiance and to have the proper pose while saying it. It is just terrible when someone doesn’t do it because they feel they aren’t treated equally.  The amendment would look like this:

               

      Under this law no man, women, or child shall disrespect the flag during the pledge in any way. Every man, woman, and child shall say the pledge and have the proper pose while doing so. Disrespect to the flag in any way will give that man, woman, or child a punishment or fine.

The 5th and 6th Amendments

The 5^th Amendments

The 5^th amendment states that no person shall be held to answer for an infamous crime unless they are accused by a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in time of War. Also, no one has to be witness against themselves or be charged for the same crime twice.

A person can be tried for a serious federal crime only if he or she has been indicted (charged, accused of a crime) by a grand jury. No one may be subjected to double jeopardy – that is, tried twice for the same crime. All persons are protected against self-incrimination; no person can be legally compelled to answer any question in any governmental proceeding if that answer could lead to that person’s prosecution. The 5^th amendment’s Due Process Clause prohibits unfair, arbitrary actions by the Federal Government. Government may take private property for a legitimate public purpose; but when it exercises that power of eminent domain, it must pay a fair price for the property seized.

The 5^th amendment was created as procedural safeguards designed to protect the rights of the criminally accused and to secure life, liberty, and property. Another fact about the amendment is a saying. The saying is very common and it is, “I plead the 5^th”. People mostly say this when they don’t want to say anything at all. There are probably thousands upon thousands of examples I could use but the most recent and most interesting one was The Fast and Furious case. Not the movie. It dealt with an operation that had gone wrong. The US had sent more than 2000 guns to a Mexican drug cartel and later these weapons were found at the scene of a murdered border agent. The 5^th was pleaded by Patrick Cunningham, the chief of the Criminal Division of the US Attorney’s Office in Arizona.

The 6^th Amendment

The 6^th amendment guarantees the rights of criminal defendants, including the right to a public trial without unnecessary delay, the right to a lawyer, the right to an impartial jury, and the right to know who your accusers are and the nature of the charges and evidence against you.

A person accused of crime has the right to be tried in court without undue delay and by an impartial jury. The defendant must be informed of the charge upon which he or she is to be tried, has the right to cross-examine hostile witnesses, and has the right to require the testimony of favorable witnesses. The defendant also has the right to be represented by an attorney at every stage in the criminal process.

When the sixth amendment was being created there were localized sheriffs of sorts, there was no such thing as a police force yet. These sheriffs of sorts were normal people volunteering to be constables or night watchmen. Criminal cases were also brought by victims, not public prosecutors. Both defendants had to represent themselves. Trials were like shouting matches and each side brought in witnesses. These would last for minutes or hours, not days. The 6^th amendment would strengthen this to how it is now today.
