A consequence is an effect or result of an action, usually implying that it is a negative one. It can more specifically refer to actions by others in response to an action. A related word is repercussions.

"Consequences" are the prices we pay for bad behavior, lapses in judgement, or bad decisions.

Examples:

The blowout was a consequence of him not replacing his worn out tires.

If she breaks the law and is caught she will have to accept the consequences.

"Consequence" can also mean importance, or the importance of the results.

Example:

The rule is of little consequence because there is no one to enforce it.

The scandal will be of great consequence to her career.
