Social interventions are subject to unanticipated and unintended consequences because gaining comprehensive information about a situation can be costly. In addition, social actors face many challenges due to society's need of immediate intervention to eliminate visible social imbalances. The assessment of negative consequences, however, might lie on the subjectivity of the examiner, as different groups of actors might tend to develop antagonistic views on any given social matter
