Kennett, Lee B., and James L. Anderson. The Gun in America The Origins of a National Dilemma. Westport, Conn. Greenwood Press, 1975. Describes the many roles that firearms have played in U.S. culture and how the United States can indeed be said to be the arsenal of democracy with both positive and negative consequences. 

Heterogeneous catalysis also occurs in the oxidation of gaseous sulfur dioxide to gaseous sulfur trioxide. This process is especially interesting because it illustrates both positive and negative consequences of chemical catalysis. 

The thermal properties of interest for ceramics are thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, specific heat, and emissivity. The thermal expansion of ceramics tends to be lower than that of metals and this has both positive and negative consequences. Because of the low thermal expansion coefficient of some ceramics, they tend to withstand thermal shock, and thus can be subjected to temperature cycling. This same low thermal expansion, however, leads to strain mismatch when ceramic components, such as turborotors, are joined to metallic parts, such as the turborotor shaft.

Consequences for performances can enhance or degrade the safety culture depending on how they are established. If consequences are primarily regarded as negative, then the overall culture of the organization will perceive safety from a negative point of view. A balance of both positive and negative consequences is essential, with an emphasis on positive feedback. 

Although the goal of any accountability system should be to develop acceptance for actions, employees must understand that there are positive and negative consequences for performance. Consequences can reinforce and encourage the changing of old habits and the importance of meeting agreed upon objectives. Consequences need to be appropriate to the situation. 

Public response to any act of terrorism in this country involving the chemical infrastructure will undoubtedly be significant and could invoke both positive and negative consequences. While the impact of a terrorist incident in itself may be linear (that is, the loss of life and injury will be directly related to the size of a chemical release within a given category of chemicals), there may be significant nonlinear social consequences of the incident. These consequences could significantly affect sectors of the... 

How big the problem will be, how soon it will be here, and with what positive and negative consequences, remain fairly uncertain, but I think in terms of managing a risk. The political system is convinced that the scientific evidence is there and that there is a risk that needs to be managed. 

When we talk about attending to consequences, we do not mean punishment. Both positive and negative consequences influence behavior. Which is more powerful depends on several considerations. Overall, positive consequences foster organizational change more effectively. Their use fosters communication and cooperation. Positive consequences also create an optimistic atmosphere. Behaviors changed by positive consequences tend to generalize more readily, and positive consequences lack the undesirable side effects on culture often associated with negative consequences.
