Illustrations of unintended consequences:
Treaty of Versailles of 1919 – It ended WWI and disarmed Germany and made it take full responsibility for starting the war. Germany was forced to give up territory and pay reparations. However, untended consequences of the treaty lead to the rise of the Nazi Party and Adolph Hitler.
Email – An efficient an inexpensive way to communicate opens one to the potential danger of computer hacker, viruses, spy ware and identity theft.
Aspirin – Intended to be a pain reliever, has also been used as a blood thinner due to its anti-clotting effects. Taken over a long period of time, aspirin can reduce the risk of heart attacks and stroke.
