An example of a possible set of consequences
The diagram below shows a circle of consequences. Each segment of the circle represents a different line of consequences that may arise from the central action. Use the circle of consequences below and ask the group to come up with consequences for the actions listed below, or work on it yourself. Encourage people to think about consequences that are both intended and unintended. One series of examples is given in the diagram here:
Circle example…
