THE CONSEQUENCES OF MAKING ACTIONS

All our actions (spoken and physical) have consequences. Some are good (positive) and some bad (negative).

Consequences are a result or an effect.

It is important to try to behave in a way that has positive consequences.

Because making choices involves various options, it should be realized from the beginning that some things
will eventually be given up in exchange for another. Before coming up with a final decision, it is important to
first weigh the contributions and consequences that may arise upon choosing a certain option. Nevertheless,
all choices result in a particular effect that you, as a decision maker, should be ready to face.

Prudence is an act of making good judgment that allows a person to avoid risks. It is important to be prudent
at all times to prevent any harm that a decision may cause. In making a decision, it is critical to determine the
adverse effects beforehand to avoid greater risks. Exercising prudence in choice implies that one has already
criticized all available options, and a well-thought-of choice has been made.

Task#2 Activity 2 [Self-Reflection] How will you demonstrate prudence in the following scenarios? Write your
answer in the notebook.

1. You do not have many friends in school, but one fraternity—known for their hazardous activities—is recruiting
you to be part of their brotherhood.
