    In algorithmic game theory, it is easy to find the Nash equilibrium if one can derive the default strategies of each player from the instructions/parameters of the algorithm. It is also not particularly hard to find the optimal solution to an algorithm either. In algorithmic mechanism design, it would be the goal of the algorithm designer to fashion the algorithm in such a way that causes the Nash equilibrium to be the same as the Pareto optimal (or at least close to optimal) result. This would mean

This system is helpful in creating an effective system which looks at the individual’s needs, rewards, expectations and attributes of their current life situation. This system can be composed of families, couples, or just one individual but directly lets the individuals get involved in the process of fixing the problem (Kirst-Ashman, Zastrow p. 184.) Strengths-based perspective is what it sounds like. This perspective is about finding
