Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄應用科技大學 === 財富與稅務管理系 === 104 === On January 7, 2015, a shooting incident happened at Charlie Hebdo in Paris. Two masked jihadists shouted “Allahu Akbar” when escaping from the office of Charlie Hebdo. The shooting attack ended up with12 people killed. From the Charlie Hebdo shootings, we know that the conflicts between freedom of speech and religious beliefs triggered the shooting incident. Many researchers analyzed the Charlie Hebdo shooting from different perspectives, including the issue of multi-cultures, social responsibility, freedom of press and so on. On the basis of the game theory approach, this present paper will discuss Charlie Hebdo shooting through the analysis of the conflicts between the freedom of speech and religious belief.
Without negotiation, both Charlie Hebdo and religious organizations adopted the dominant strategy, which is beneficial to them. The lack of negotiation results in a social dilemma between two groups. Through the contract settlement, both sides must make the agreement and sign the contract in order to solve the social dilemmas. Hence, this study suggests that the freedom of speech must not defame or dishonor the religion. Conversely, the premise of the freedom of speech should base on the respects for the religious belief. Theoretically, in terms of the game theory, the analysis of Charlie Hebdo shooting can be shifted from the perspective of the non-cooperative game to the perspective of a cooperative game. However, when taking the transaction costs, rationality, morality and sensibility into consideration, it is less possible to be a cooperative game.
