You are a herder on the commons. You go out counting sheep one day and you come to suspect that your neighbor, who also has rights to graze on the commons, has recently added some extra sheep to his flock. You are a well-read shepherd, and you worry that these extra sheep could easily lead to what Garrett Hardin calls the “tragedy of the commons.” Drawing upon the theories presented in your readings and lecture, explain what you might do to prevent this tragedy from occurring.
What will be an ideal response?
to avoid the tragedy of commons, one has to overcome the
individualism that hinders the community to work toward the solution together.
This problem can be dealt with by facilitating dialogues of solidarities, on both
interests and sentiments.
