Risk can play a big role in how willing we are to accept or ignore unusual and unwanted results. There are some situations where having a positive outcome occur is essential and others where it is less so. The amount of risk one is willing to take that an unwanted outcome will occur is considered in making decisions. Think of a situation related to your degree or career field. What kinds of risks would you need to consider in this situation? How likely are unusual and unwanted results in this situation? How does that impact how you think about the risk?
