This talk is presented by Rohan Lewis, a high school math teacher at Gwangju Foreign School. His topic for the GIC Talk is ‘Cooperation and Competition,’ which spans various topics and theories. In his characteristically calm voice, Rohan explains some cases and theories related to cooperation and competition, such as Dunbar’s Number and the Tragedy of the Commons, and how these are relevant to our lives in the modern world. Rohan supports cooperation over competition, but rather than make his case dogmatically, he simply puts the pieces out there for the audience to interpret on their own. During the lecture, he uses visual materials like video, photos and graphs to deliver his speech in an effective way. This lecture is a good opportunity to learn about some interesting cases and theories related to cooperation and competition in the world around us.
