Cooperation and Conflict
Game
As we all know, we as a people accomplish more
when we work together and cooperate and that
when we do not work well together and have
conflict significantly less gets accomplished.
The goal for this game is to get to the finish line.
We move forward when we identify actions as
examples of cooperation, and we move
backwards when we identify actions as examples
of conflict. Let’s see where we end up!
Select the numbers in order, they will take you to a
slide where you have to determine if the action moves
you forward or backwards.
