What:
Describe an event or problem (the EFFECT) and arguehow specific forces work together to create that event or problem (the CAUSE).
How:
To accomplish the goal of this essay, analyze a cause to determine whether it is likely to play an important role in bringing about a particular effect, or analyze a specific effect to determine whether it is likely to result from a particular cause.
Brainstorm:
Select an event or problem that will not require research and brainstorm details related to its cause(s) and effect(s).
Narrow the scope of your essay. A 1300-1500 word essay won’t be enough space to describe all causes and all effects of a particular event or situation; an excellent paper will detail one or two things in depth.
