Definition
CAUSE EFFECT

cause come from around 1175. It comes


from Latin effectus a performing,

from the Latin causa, meaning “reason”


tendency, from efficere to

or “sake.” accomplish, from facere to do.


A cause is a person, thing, event, or
A effect, consequence(s), result

action that triggers a resulting event.


refer to something produced by an

Cause can also mean a motivation or an


action or a cause. An effect is that

ideal or goal that a person or group is


which is produced, usually more or

dedicated to. less immediately and directly.


Purpose
The purpose of the cause-and-effect essay is

to determine how various phenomena are

related. The thesis states what the writer sees

as the main cause, main effect, or various

causes and effects of a condition or event.

Start with the cause and then talk about the

effect.
Types of cause and effect
Cause And Effect
Owen Williams

Most of us have come across the Latinate logical fallacy with the high-falutin title post hoc, ergo

propter hoc, which means simply: "after this, therefore because of this." Nevertheless, if we can

rule out coincidence, a strong argument can be built on the linking of an event or condition that

most likely causes some result, or effect. This rhetorical mode is often encountered in history,

chemistry, and biology.


There are several paradigms or patterns often used to map out these connections:
1. Single cause-multiple effect: namely, that one action has several ramifications.
2. Multiple cause-single effect: conversely, that there are several reasons (usually with varying

degrees of causation) for one result.


3. Causal chain (domino theory): in which each effect becomes the cause for yet another effect,

and if interrupted at any point the chain is disrupted.


4. Multiple cause-multiple effect: several reasons cause some occurrence which has several

results.
Example
He lied to me, so I ended our relationship.
Since I was up all night with my sick child, I’m exhausted this

morning.
She never gave up on her writing, and now she’s published a book!
They could finish the race because they had trained for it so

diligently.
They gave the restaurant a critical review because their food was

burnt to a crisp.
.
Conclusion
To further conclude our discussion today Cause and effect

in a piece of writing help the reader follow a coherent

thread through the material. It also helps the writer

engage in the writing process to organize and structure

the information into a logical form, such as a cause-and-

effect essay. In fiction, cause and effect help maintain

plausibility in plotlines.
