Questions:
Did anyone in your group take too many fish? How did that make you feel? Did everyone try to take as many as possible? Why or why not? Does society reward those with the "most"?
While doing the lab I guess we didn't think about the ecosystem. My whole team was greedy and took as many fish as possible while I watched. This made me realize that some people just want to have fun instead of doing labs. While I watched everyone I felt like the odd man out. And seeing everyone take everything I felt I was going to be the less successful person but in the end me and another team mate realized the real objective which was to save fish for another season.
Did anyone sacrifice the # of fish, for the good of the community? Why or why not? Does society ever reward that type of person?
Me and my team mate Chan took one for the team and left some fish to maintain the ecosystem. As they say though nice guys finished last so we owed money in the end.
In game two... how did your strategy change, if at all? Does it make a difference to know what the rewards are?
We didn't have a round 2 because we didn't have time in class.
Is it possible to maximize the # of fish caught/person and the # of fish remaining in the pond at the same time? Why or why not?
I think we could have if we thought as a team and thought ahead we could've done it.
What are some natural resources that are common resources?
Some common natural resources are coal, water, Oxygen.
What are the global commons? Are these being used wisely? Why or why not?
Water, ocean, and air are common but unfortunately we as humans don't really treat it right. Some people are beginning to change for the better and trying to help but it looks that it might not help too much.
What can people do to use these resources most wisely?
People can cutdown on materials for stuff. Make companies reuse their materials for better use.
Did a particular "type" of fish disappear faster than others? How does this relate to "economically valuable" species in nature and their extinction rates?
I believe they all disappeared at the same rate because everybody just went at it. I guess this shows us that people take anything resourceful and don't think about it until everything is gone.

Post Lab:
Briefly summarize the results of this simulation, and discuss the implications of this simulation on the management of common resources in the environment. What were the main ideas of the simulation- what did you learn? In your summary please discuss relationships between human societies and the environment as well as possible methods to remediate overuse through cooperation. What other resource management examples can you think of where this topic is relevant? What would you suggest in these situations?
Well there was no results for ours because everything was gone. I did see the economical perspective though. I saw that everyone did the YOLO thing and went all out but some stopped and thought of the future. For the people that thought about the future I saw that they were thinking more than the other people. These other people wanted money but they realized their mistakes. Just like in the real world people are starting to change their ways but others don't care because they like to think of the future.
