Consequences - GCSE Religious Studies Definition

Reviewed by: Bridgette Barrett

Last updated

In the context of GCSE Religious Studies, 'consequences' refer to the outcomes or results that follow from a person's actions or decisions, which are often considered in terms of their moral and ethical implications. Understanding consequences is essential in analysing how different religious traditions encourage followers to think about the impact of their behaviour on themselves, others, and the wider world. By exploring the concept of consequences, students learn the importance of responsibility and accountability in decision-making processes, and how these principles are applied in various religious teachings and ethical frameworks.
