  1. Taking a risk does conflict with how an outcome can be predicted. Taking a risk means that something dangerous can be the result. Taking a risk means there is a chance of something going wrong. Risk taking isn't necessarily being irresponsible. Risks can also mean dangerous, and there are many ways of dealing with danger. In chemistry, when using harmful chemicals is risk taking, but dressing properly, and taking safety, decreases the chance of something going wrong. Benefits of risk taking can be learning new things, but drawbacks can be something going wrong and being harmed.

  2. Taking risk is a very dangerous game but it requires bravery and courage to risk everything for something or nothing. It is very irresponsible. When you take a risk, you have no way of knowing the outcome of your decision. It comes down to the decision if your desperate enough to lose control of your situation. Taking risks has its benefits; if you succeed, everything you worked for will benefit you. However, if you slip up, you will crash and burn. When discovering a cure for a disease, you must be precise and take risk at the same time. You must measure every variable in a timely fashion. If you take your risk effectively, you have just discovered a cure for dementia. If you miss a zero in your calculations, you killed all of humanity.

  3. Taking a risk does effect outcome. When taking risks it shows that one is ready to accept the consequences. The benefits of taking a risk is that something good will come out of it. The drawbacks are that the consequences may end up horrible. In frankenstein, frankenstein took the risk and created the monster. There were bad consequences, such as when the monster killed people and good is that frankenstein was able to obtain knowledge.

  4. Taking risk considered as a dangerous decision. But, Risk taker could not predict the outcome. As Frankenstein created a monster for his love of science, however he didn’t know that it could ruin his life. Yes, taking risk was an irresponsible act since it could affect not only one individual but his/her relatives, community as well. Taking risk could satisfy self-knowledge, however it could be a costly outcome. Henry Louis Le Chatelier, one of the famous chemists during the 18 century tried to make Ammonia from Nitrogen and Oxygen and he ended up losing one of his best friends in the explosion incident.

  5. Taking risk can conflict how an outcome can be predicted. When one takes risks they are aware of the negative results that can come with it. Taking risks can be irresponsible when one knows that the bad results outweigh the good. Drawbacks of taking risks are having to suffer the bad consequences that may come with the action much like what Frankenstein encountered with his creation. However, there can also benefits to taking risks such as lottery winners that have played numbers on several occasions.

  6. Taking a risk can conflict with how an outcome is predicted. Predictions are never right so by taking a risk and doing what a person thinks is a gut feeling can be a risk whether good or bad. All risk aren't considered unmoral or irresponsible unless it goes against a higher source like your parents or someone older then that other person. Benefits of risk can help a person have a better life or better opportunity whether in life, with a job etc. A drawback of a risk is something taking longer then you expected causing you to think your plan over again sort to speak.
