Cause and Effect Analysis Sheet
The Method
To figure out reasons and results is to use the method of CAUSE AND EFFECT.
_______________________________________________________________
1. ______________________________________________________________________
2. ______________________________________________________________________
Examples of the Method
_______________________
Why do birds migrate?
__________________________________________________________
Effects
__________________________________________________________
What impact has the personal computer had on the nursing profession?
Suppose an asteroid the size of a sofa was to strike in Philadelphia?
Process: ___________, Purposes, and Theses
Causation: _________________________________________________________
An excellent cause and effect subject should be a topic near to you.
Example: For a 500-word essay due Thursday, the causes of teenage rebellion would be a less feasible topic than why a certain thirteen-year-old you know ran away from home.
Process: Subjects, ______________________________, and Theses
___________________________________________________________________________
You may want to go further, __________________________________________. You still need to be clear and accurate in presenting your interpretation, treat the other issues fairly.
Process: Subjects, Purposes, and ______________________________
Ex: A bill like the one we’ve just passed (to ban imports from factories that use child labor) is of no use unless it goes hand in hand with programs that will offer a new life to these newly released children. Chitra Divakuaruni Live Fee and Starve
It is possible to stop most drug addiction in the United States within a very short time. Simply make all drugs available and sell them at cost. Gore Vidal, Drugs
My suspicion is, in fact, that very few of us…have really responded to the AIDS crisis the way the federal government and educators would like us to believe. My guess is that we’re all but ignoring it and that almost anyone who claims otherwise is lying. Meghan Daum, Safe-Sex Lies
Causal Relations
___________________________________________________________________________
Example: Why a battle may be lost?
1. The losing general had fewer soldiers and had a blinding hangover the morning he mapped out his strategy.
2. Winter set in and winter enforcements failed to arrive and a Joan of Arc inspired the winning army.
______________________________________________________________________________
Causal Relations
Determine if the ____________________________________________________________.
Ex: If Judd acquires a heavy drug habit and also takes up residence in a video arcade, and as a result finds himself penniless, it is probably safe to assume that the drug habit is the major cause of his going broke and his addiction to video games a minor one.
(If you were writing about his sad case, you’d probably emphasize the drug habit by giving it most of your space, perhaps touching on video games briefly.)
Cautions with ______________________________________________
Beware of confusing coincidence with cause.
Post hoc-_____________________________________________________________________.
Ex: This is the error of the superstitious man who decides that he lost his job because a black cat walked in front of him.
Another error is to ___________________________________________________________________.
Ex: Violent crime is simply a result of “all those gangster shows on TV.”
Discovery of _____________________________________
What am I _____________________________________________________
What is the ____________________________________________________________________
In what scene or location did the act take place, and in what circumstances?
What __________________________________________________________________________
For what purpose did the ______________ act? __________________________________________
Pentad: the act, actor, scene, agency, and purpose
