After is not because — Evidence Lab · Justice
Two things happen one after the other. Did the first one really cause the second, or did they just happen together? Sort each card.
Your task
Sort each card.
- It happened after, so it was caused by it is a common thinking trap. Two things can happen together by chance, or because a third thing caused both.
- An invented story to learn from, not legal advice. Laws differ from country to country. For a real problem, talk to a trusted adult or a lawyer.
- Everyone is equal before the law. Nothing about you is collected.
Score
- Understanding justice — You understood how this part of justice works.
- Fairness — You treated everyone fairly and listened to all sides.
- Safe & ask for help — You stayed safe and knew when to ask a trusted adult.
In real life
Scientists and judges both have to separate things that happen together from things that truly cause each other. Blaming someone just because something happened after they arrived is unfair.
Evidence Lab
Invented stories to learn from, not legal advice. Laws differ from country to country. For a real problem, talk to a trusted adult or a lawyer; in an emergency call your country's number (112 in the EU). Nothing about you is collected; progress stays on this device.
