Cause and Effect Website

What I found useful about the cause and effect was that it basically presented three different ways to look at a situation. It showed that there is no black or white to a situation; there are gray areas as well. I found the website useful because it used a real-life situation that could relate to almost anyone. I learned that situations can be broken down into such small details, that they may completely change the opinions of others. For example, the website talked about how a bike rider had to swerve onto the traffic lane to avoid hitting the truck blocking the bike lane and doing so caused a driver to brake suddenly. The driver hitting the brakes then caused a rear-end collision. A person could think that the driver was not at fault for the accident because he or she had no choice but to brake suddenly. But then a lawyer defending the person who rear-ended the first driver could argue that the first driver has a history of braking so suddenly that it has caused accidents in the past or that person's lawyer could argue that the person who rear-ended his or her client has a history of tail-gating. There are always many sides to a story that in most cases, there is no one right answer. I thought the website made this clear and presented the idea really well.
