Everything has repercussions

It's remarkable when you realize that the same materials found on Earth have been transformed by humans into items such as cameras, which capture moments, or technology that enables long-distance communication. But these don't come without repercussions; for these things to be made, the surrounding environment had to undergo mass changes, for example, the excavation for these precious materials. It doesn't just end there; child labor is used to create many objects that we use every day. 

History also provides a few examples of this; for example, the discovery of the New World came with multiple benefits, but Native Americans in the thousands died due to the diseases and other variants brought by the Europeans, along with enslavement for labor. 

These are the indirect effects of discoveries. However, it can also expand to the individual who made this discovery or creation. An example of this can be seen from the packet we received this week, where the example of Marie Curie was used. From this example, we quickly learned that these discoveries also came with allusions, as it was described that Curie, "denying her wounds came from the same source as her power."

This has also been seen in many other ways; advancements have been made in the nuclear section. But, as the topic states, nothing comes without repercussions. As a society, it would be best to utilize nuclear energy and save the environment from the pollutions that would come from traditional energy, instead, we decided to create the world's deadliest weapons from it, killing millions. 

This isn't just isolated on the global scale; we also suffer from this. With every decision we make, we either lose out or suffer from something. Choosing to participate in sports and clubs, we lose the opportunity to hang out with friends and come home tired, with barely enough energy to get homework done
