SEPTEMBER 2012 — COD MORATORIUM 20 YEARS LATER LEARNING ACTIVITY: Analyzing Consequences Complex problems are not easily solved. And they have a host of consequences. Some of these consequences are intended (or intentional), and some are unintended (or unintentional). Cell Phones Consider the issue of cell phones. In an effort to reduce accidents that resulted from people talking on their cell phones when driving, many provincial governments imposed cell phone bans. The intended consequence was that there would be fewer accidents. However, the legislation had an unintended consequence — it increased the frequency of texting while driving. Previous to the legislation, people might have answered their cell phone and had a short conversation while watching the road. This was Cod Fishing Moratorium definitely not safe, as drivers don’t need any additional distractions while on the road. However, once the cell phone ban was in place, drivers started to secretly text while driving. This meant they were looking down into their laps while driving, rather than having their eyes on the road. This is even more dangerous. So although the intended consequence of the cell phone ban was to make the roads safer, the unintended consequence is that the ban has likely made the roads less safe because it has forced people to text while driving. The cod fishing moratorium can also be analyzed for its consequences. There are a whole host of intended as well as unintended consequences that resulted from the imposition of the moratorium. Read the “Setting the Stage” section of this guide, or watch the video a second time, and complete the Multiple Consequences diagram that on the following page. When you have finished completing the diagram, answer the two analysis questions at the bottom of the worksheet and be prepared to discuss your responses.

With another colour, shade those boxes that you believe are unintended (or unplanned) consequences. 1. Based on the information you have learned, do you believe that the intentional consequences had a greater or lesser impact than the unintentional consequences? Why? 2.
