Paragraph Two: The Iron Law of Unintended Consequences is a phrase that is used usually towards legislation, but that can be applied to so many other things. This refers to unexpected results of decisions that were never foreseen. Though this is usually defined with legislation, this can be applied to many other things. For instance, in bringing over the bird guano that farmers thought would help more potatoes to grow, the ships were carrying the potato blight in the fertilizer, which would decimate Irish potato crops. The unintended consequences would be that in hoping to help their crops with fertilizer, they actually were destroying it.
Think of an unintended consequence that a modern day decision has brought about. (Please do not write about your own life and a good (or bad) decision that you made and how this had an unintended consequences). Write about a decision that has been made, legislation that has passed, or an event that has occurred, and write about an unintended consequence that has come from this.
