cause effect essay nedir

Cause and Effect Essay Nasıl Yazılır?

Başlangıç olarak “Cause and Effect Essay’in Türkçede tam olarak ne anlama geldiklerine bakacak olursak şu şekilde çevirmemiz mümkün olacaktır: “ Neden-Sonuç Makaleleri ”. “Cause and Effect Essay” adından da anlaşılacağı gibi ele alınan konunun nedenlerini ve sonuçlarını analiz etmeye yarar. Bu tür makalelerinin yazımına başlamadan önce taslak oluşturmak ve bu taslağı oluştururken bazı bir kaç önemli sorunun cevabını verebilmek önemli olacaktır. Bunlardan ilki “Bu neden oldu?” sorusudur ki bu sorunun cevabı bize genel olarak makalenin “cause” (neden) kısmını açıklayacaktır. Sormamız gereken ikinci önemli soru ise “Bunun yüzünden ne oldu?”dur. Bu sorunun cevabı ise bizim için makalemizin “effect” (sonuç) kısmının taslağını oluşturacaktır.

Bu şekilde neden ve sonuç ilişkilerini açık bir şekilde ortaya koyduğumuzda makalenizin ilerleyişi de kolaylaşmış olacaktır. Size bu aşamada yardımcı olacak birkaç İngilizce edat örneğini de aşağıda görebilirsiniz. Bu edatlar makalenizi yazarken neden ve sonuçlarınızı formata uygun olarak yazıya aktarmanıza destek olacaktır.

Sebepler için kullanılacak bağlaç kelimeler:

due to, because, since, for, first of all, second…

Sonuçlar için kullanılacak bağlaç kelimeler:

consequently, as a result, thus, therefore, one result is, resulted in…

Makale yazarken küçük bir post-it’e makalenizin konusunu yazarak sürekli gözünüzün önünde duracak şekilde bir yere yapıştırmamız işe yarayacaktır. Çünkü “cause and effect essay”leri yazarken konudan ayrılmadan makaleyi devam ettirmek önemlidir. Anlatım esnasında başka konulara değiniyor olsanız da hemen kendi konunuzu hatırlayıp konuya dönüş yapmamız gerekir. Yazdığımız şey eğer bir şeye ikna etme odaklı ise kesin bilgiler sunmamamız gerekmekte ve eğer kesin bilgiler sunuyorsak da ikna etmeye çalışmamalı sadece kesin bilgileri doğrudan aktarmalıyız. Bu demek oluyor ki, yazdığınız şeyin bilgi vermeyi mi yoksa ikna etmeyi mi amaçladığına karar vermeli ve makalenizi ona göre yazmalısınız.

Bir diğer önemli nokta, yazarken sürekli olarak nedenlere ve sonuçlara odaklı olmaktır. Öncelikli olan nedenlere ve sonuçlara makalenizde yer vermenizde yarar var. Zaman ve konu konusundaki sınırlarınızı belirleyin ve direkt olarak konunuzla ilgili olmayan detaylarla makalenizi karmaşık hale getirmekten kaçının.

Makalenizde vereceğiniz destekleyici alıntılar makalenizi güçlü hale getirecektir. Bunun için istatistikler, ünlü kişilerin sözleri, kitaplardan alıntılar vs. önemlidir. Fikirlerinizi desteklemek için terimlerin tanımlanmasına, gerçekliği kanıtlanmış bilgiler sunmaya özen gösterin.

“ Cause and Effect Essay ” yazımına daha yakından bakacak olursak, yazacağınız makalelerin ilk paragrafları genel bilgiler içermelidir. Çünkü bahsedeceğimiz konuyu en genel hatlarıyla yazmaya başlamamız önemlidir. İlk paragrafta en genel hali ile verilen konu giderek darlaşarak özelleşecektir. Bir örnek vermek gerekirse kitap okumanın öneminden bahsedeceğimiz bir makale yazacaksak, hangi sosyal etkinliklerin genel olarak insanlara ne gibi yararları olduğunu anlatmaya başlamak iyi bir giriş olabilir. Bu paragrafa İngilizcede “general statement” adı verilir.

Unutmamamız gereken bir diğer nokta ilk paragraf olarak başladığımız bu “general state-ment” paragrafını bir “thesis statement” yani tez cümlesi ile bitirmeyi başarmamızdır. Bu demek oluyor ki yazdığımız bu ilk paragrafın en son cümlesi yazacağımız yazımızın tezini açıklamalıdır.

Peki “Thesis Statement” nedir ve nasıl yazılmalıdır?

Öncelikle “thesis statement”in sadece bir cümle olması gerektiğini belirtmemiz gerekiyor. Ayrıca bu cümle gelişme bölümünde daha sonra bahsedeceğimiz kısımları da kapsayan içerikli bir cümle olmalıdır. “Thesis statement” yazımından sonra ilk paragrafa geçilmelidir.

Bir durum örneği vermek gerekirse iki body paragraflık bir yazıda ilk paragrafta ilk sebep ikinci paragrafta ise ikinci sebep açıklanmalıdır. İki paragrafın ortak noktası ise ikisinde de olayların nedenlerinin anlatılması gerektiğidir. Yazımıza genel olarak bir bakış attığımızda elimizde toplamda 3 adet sebep (cause) durumu ve 3 adet de sonuç (effect) durumu olmalıdır.

Bir örnek ile açıklayalım: Çevre kirliliği ile ilgili bir makale yazacağımızı düşünelim. Vereceğimiz sebeplerin ilki çevre kirliliğine yol açan fabrikalar ikincisi ise bireysel olarak yapılan çevre kirliliği olsun. Bu şekilde kabul ettiğimizde ilk paragrafta konudan sapmadan fabrikaların yol açtığı çevre kirliliklerinden bahsetmemiz gerekmektedir. Bu konuda vereceğimiz örnekler, kullanacağımız istatistikler ve konu ile ilgili kitaplardan alacağımız alıntılar önemlidir. İkinci paragrafta ise yine aynı şekilde sadece bireysel olarak neden olunan çevre kirliliklerinden örneklerle, istatistiklerle ve alıntılarla bahsetmemiz gerekir.

İlk başta da söylediğimiz gibi bunlar body paragraf olacaktır ve buralarda sadece sebeplerden (cause) bahsetmemiz gerekir. Body paragraflarda sonuçlardan bahsedecek olursak yazının gidişatını bozmuş ve “cause - effect” gidişatına sadık kalmamış oluruz.

3. Body Paragraf

3. body paragrafta önemli olan ilk adımda herhangi bir konu cümlesiyle başlamak gerektiğidir. Burada “the first effect is..” şeklinde bir yapı kullanamayız. Çünkü öncelikle daha önce yazdığımız sebepler ile yazacağımız sonuçlar arasında bir geçiş paragrafı yani bir “transition sentence” oluşturmamız gerekir.

Bir örnek vermek gerekirse “There are some causes of A and two effects which are B and C. The first effect is…” şeklinde bağlayabiliriz. Burada kullanabileceğimiz bir başka yapı da şu şekilde olabilir: “Having looked at the causes of X the effect can be given as “C” and “D”.The first effect is……”

Bu şekilde sunmayı düşündüğünüz effectleri bir geçiş paragrafı ile belirtmiş olursunuz.

4. Body Paragraf

3. ve 4. Body Paragraflarda dikkat etmeniz gereken bu paragraflarda artık sonuç odaklı yazmanızdır. Burada bir “re-state” yapmamız gerekecektir. “Re-state”in anlamı burada aslında “thesis statement”i tamamlayan ve aynı anlama gelen başka bir cümle yazmaktır.

Son paragrafınızın 6. paragraf olduğunu düşünürsek bu paragrafta buraya kadar yazılanları bir kaç cümle ile özetlemeniz makalenizi güzelleştirir ve bir bütünlük sağlar. Ancak bunu yapmayanlar için bu son paragrafta direk “final comment” de yazılabilir. “Final comment”in anlamı burada sebep ve sonuçlarını yazdığımız durum için çözümler, öneriler şeklinde olmalıdır. Burada da dikkat edilmesi gereken bu son paragrafta “I think”, “In my opinion”, “According to” gibi yazım biçimlerini kullanmamamızdır. Son kısımda yeni fikirler ortaya atmak makalenizin eksik yazılmış gibi bir algı yaratmasına neden olacaktır.

Son olarak yazdıklarımızı özetleyecek ve önemli noktaları tekrar edecek olursak; 

“Topic sentence” paragrafın ilk cümlesi olmalıdır ve paragrafın hangi konuda devam edeceğini bize bildirir. Paragrafın sonunda ise “topic sentence”i tamamlayan ve yazılanları bir cümle halinde toparlayan bir sonuç cümlesi (concluding sentence) bulunmalıdır. “Con-cluding sentence”in  başında kullanılabilecek edatlar şu şekilde sıralanabilir:

“to sum up”,

“to summarize”,

“to conclude”,

“in conclusion”

Akademik alanda yazılacak Essayler de kabul edilecek olan edatlar bu şekildedir ve yazımızda doğru edatları kullanmamız da yazımızın içeriği kadar önemlidir.

Yazımızın en sonunda ise, sonuç olarak şeklinde kullanabileceğiniz edatlar şu şekilde sıralanabilir:

“As a result”,

“As a consequence”,

“Consequently”

Genel olarak dikkat edilmesi gereken yazılacak cümlelerin çok uzun ve karışık olmasından kaçınılmasıdır. Başlık seçiminde de çok edebi başlıklar seçmek yerine konuyu anlatan başlıkların seçimi daha etkili olacaktır. Çünkü makale yazarken anlam bütünlüğünün sağlanması ve anlatmak istediğiniz içeriğin düzenli bir şekilde aktarılması büyük önem taşır.

Essay Ne Demek – Essay Nasıl Yazılır?

Daha önce detaylı olarak anlattığımız essay nasıl yazılır konusu, kısaca okuyanların merakını gidermek için bu bölümde anlatılacaktır. İsteyenler essay nasıl yazılır makalemizi okuyup detaylı bir şekilde öğrenebilirler. Essay ne demek sorusunun cevabını öğrendikten sonra büyük ihtimalle sorularacak soru essay nasıl yazılır olacaktır. Bu bölümde expository essay nasıl yazılır kısaca değineceğiz. 

Expository essay, öğrencinin bir fikri araştırmasını, kanıtları değerlendirmesini, fikir üzerinde açıklama yapmasını ve bu fikirle ilgili bir argümanı açık ve özlü bir şekilde ortaya koymasını gerektiren bir deneme türüdür. Bu, karşılaştırma ve karşıtlık, tanım, örnek, neden-sonuç analizi vb. yoluyla gerçekleştirilebilir.

Expository essay introduction, body paragrafları ve conclusion gibi bölümlerden oluşur.

Introduction paragrafı, essay’in ilk paragrafındır ve thesis statement ile son bulur. Thesis statement’ten önce konu hakkında kısaca bilgi verdiğimiz bir background information bölümünü de unutmamak gerekir. Thesis statement ise essay’de savunduğumuz fikrin bir özetidir.

Bu thesis statement’in, esssay’de belirtilen yönergeleri takip etmek için uygun şekilde daraltılması önemlidir. Öğrenci, essay’in bu bölümünde ustalaşmazsa, etkili veya ikna edici bir essay yazmak oldukça zor olacaktır. Thesis statement nasıl yazılır öğrenmek için tıklayabilirsiniz.

Introduction, body paragrafları ve conclusion paragrafları arasında açık ve mantıklı geçişler olmalıdır.

Geçişler yani transition’lar, essay’in temelini bir arada tutan harçtır. Düşüncenin mantıksal ilerlemesi olmadan, okuyucu essay’in argümanını takip edemez ve yapı çöker.

Introduction paragrafından sonra body paragrafları gelir.

Her body paragrafı bir genel fikrin açıklanmasıyla sınırlı olmalıdır. Bu, makale boyunca netlik ve yön sağlayacaktır. Dahası, bu kısalık, kişinin hedef kitlesi için bir okunabilirlik kolaylığı yaratır. Essay’in gövdesindeki (body’sindeki) her paragrafın, introduction paragrafındaki thesis statement ile mantıklı bir bağlantısı olması gerektiğini belirtmek önemlidir. Essay ne demek, essay nedir sorusundan sonra sıkça sorulan diğer bir sorunun yanıtı için İngilizce paragraf örnekleri makalemize tıklayabilirsiniz.

Essay yazarken kanıt sunmak önemlidir. 

Expository essay türleri, yani argumentative essay, cause and effect essay, opinion essay gibi essay türlerinde fikirlerimizi kanıtlara dayandırmak önemlidir. Kanıtlara dayanmayan fikirler akademik essay parçalarında yazılamazlar. Onun için okulunuzun database’lerinden fikirlerinizi savunan kanıtlar bulmanız önemlidir.

Biraz yaratıcı olun.

Yaratıcılık ve ustalık her zaman essay yazmakla ilişkilendirilmese de, yine de bir sanat biçimidir. Unutmayın, bir sonraki harika romanı hazırlamıyor olsanız da, essay’inizi değerlendiren öğretmenlerinizden iyi bir not almaya çalıştığınız için essay’inizde yaratı olmanız ve ilginç kanıtları bir araya getirmeniz önemlidir.

Son olarak, expository essay’i sonlandıran bir conclusion paragrafı yazmalıyız.

Thesis statement’imizi basitçe yeniden ifade edip, konu hakkında bulduğumuz ilgi çekici ve önemli kısımları yazıp essay’imizi bitirebiliriz.

Öğrencilerin kaçınılmaz olarak mücadele etmeye başlayacakları makalenin bu noktasındadır. Conclusion paragrafı, essay’in okuyucunun zihninde en hızlı izlenimi bırakacak kısmıdır. Bu nedenle, etkili ve mantıklı olmalıdır. Conclusion paragrafına yeni bir bilgi eklenmemelidir; daha ziyade, makalenin body paragraf’larında sunulan bilgileri derlenmeli ve bir sonuca varılmalıdır.

Buraya kadar okuduysanız size bir kıyağımız var 🙂 Anlamadığınız kısımları bu yazının altına sorabilirsiniz. Bekliyoruz.

10.8 Cause and Effect

Learning objectives.

• Determine the purpose and structure of cause and effect in writing.
• Understand how to write a cause-and-effect essay.

The Purpose of Cause and Effect in Writing

It is often considered human nature to ask, “why?” and “how?” We want to know how our child got sick so we can better prevent it from happening in the future, or why our colleague a pay raise because we want one as well. We want to know how much money we will save over the long term if we buy a hybrid car. These examples identify only a few of the relationships we think about in our lives, but each shows the importance of understanding cause and effect.

A cause is something that produces an event or condition; an effect is what results from an event or condition. The purpose of the cause-and-effect essay is to determine how various phenomena relate in terms of origins and results. Sometimes the connection between cause and effect is clear, but often determining the exact relationship between the two is very difficult. For example, the following effects of a cold may be easily identifiable: a sore throat, runny nose, and a cough. But determining the cause of the sickness can be far more difficult. A number of causes are possible, and to complicate matters, these possible causes could have combined to cause the sickness. That is, more than one cause may be responsible for any given effect. Therefore, cause-and-effect discussions are often complicated and frequently lead to debates and arguments.

Use the complex nature of cause and effect to your advantage. Often it is not necessary, or even possible, to find the exact cause of an event or to name the exact effect. So, when formulating a thesis, you can claim one of a number of causes or effects to be the primary, or main, cause or effect. As soon as you claim that one cause or one effect is more crucial than the others, you have developed a thesis.

Consider the causes and effects in the following thesis statements. List a cause and effect for each one on your own sheet of paper.

• The growing childhood obesity epidemic is a result of technology.
• Much of the wildlife is dying because of the oil spill.
• The town continued programs that it could no longer afford, so it went bankrupt.
• More young people became politically active as use of the Internet spread throughout society.
• While many experts believed the rise in violence was due to the poor economy, it was really due to the summer-long heat wave.

Write three cause-and-effect thesis statements of your own for each of the following five broad topics.

• Health and nutrition

The Structure of a Cause-and-Effect Essay

The cause-and-effect essay opens with a general introduction to the topic, which then leads to a thesis that states the main cause, main effect, or various causes and effects of a condition or event.

The cause-and-effect essay can be organized in one of the following two primary ways:

• Start with the cause and then talk about the effects.
• Start with the effect and then talk about the causes.

For example, if your essay were on childhood obesity, you could start by talking about the effect of childhood obesity and then discuss the cause or you could start the same essay by talking about the cause of childhood obesity and then move to the effect.

Regardless of which structure you choose, be sure to explain each element of the essay fully and completely. Explaining complex relationships requires the full use of evidence, such as scientific studies, expert testimony, statistics, and anecdotes.

Because cause-and-effect essays determine how phenomena are linked, they make frequent use of certain words and phrases that denote such linkage. See Table 10.4 “Phrases of Causation” for examples of such terms.

Table 10.4 Phrases of Causation

The conclusion should wrap up the discussion and reinforce the thesis, leaving the reader with a clear understanding of the relationship that was analyzed.

Be careful of resorting to empty speculation. In writing, speculation amounts to unsubstantiated guessing. Writers are particularly prone to such trappings in cause-and-effect arguments due to the complex nature of finding links between phenomena. Be sure to have clear evidence to support the claims that you make.

Look at some of the cause-and-effect relationships from Note 10.83 “Exercise 2” . Outline the links you listed. Outline one using a cause-then-effect structure. Outline the other using the effect-then-cause structure.

Writing a Cause-and-Effect Essay

Choose an event or condition that you think has an interesting cause-and-effect relationship. Introduce your topic in an engaging way. End your introduction with a thesis that states the main cause, the main effect, or both.

Organize your essay by starting with either the cause-then-effect structure or the effect-then-cause structure. Within each section, you should clearly explain and support the causes and effects using a full range of evidence. If you are writing about multiple causes or multiple effects, you may choose to sequence either in terms of order of importance. In other words, order the causes from least to most important (or vice versa), or order the effects from least important to most important (or vice versa).

Use the phrases of causation when trying to forge connections between various events or conditions. This will help organize your ideas and orient the reader. End your essay with a conclusion that summarizes your main points and reinforces your thesis. See Chapter 15 “Readings: Examples of Essays” to read a sample cause-and-effect essay.

Choose one of the ideas you outlined in Note 10.85 “Exercise 3” and write a full cause-and-effect essay. Be sure to include an engaging introduction, a clear thesis, strong evidence and examples, and a thoughtful conclusion.

Key Takeaways

• 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.

The cause-and-effect essay can be organized in one of these two primary ways:

• Start with the cause and then talk about the effect.
• Start with the effect and then talk about the cause.
• Strong evidence is particularly important in the cause-and-effect essay due to the complexity of determining connections between phenomena.
• Phrases of causation are helpful in signaling links between various elements in the essay.

Developing the Ideal Structure for a Cause and Effect Essay

In a cause-and-effect paper, you can organize the body in various ways depending on the purpose and relatedness of causes and effects. The effects-focused approach describes multiple outcomes of a specific reason. The causes-focused method explores different factors contributing to the consequence. The causal chain method analyzes how an initial motive creates a chain reaction leading to other reasons and effects.

Regardless of the chosen method, a well-structured introduction should state the thesis statement and provide an overview. The conclusion should summarize the main points and restate the thesis while emphasizing the findings' significance. Ultimately, the goal is to explore how events or situations affect our lives by examining their underlying causes & effects.

Effects-Focused Method

The effects-focused approach examines how one effect leads to a specific cause. If you choose this method, you should describe multiple consequences of a particular occasion or situation (the selected reason) in separate body paragraphs.

This approach is suitable when a single rationale can produce several ramifications that you explore and analyze independently to provide a comprehensive insight into the overall impact. In short, an effects-focused approach allows you to showcase the full extent of how an occasion or occurrence affects its surroundings.

Causes-Focused Method

It is crucial to begin a causes-focused essay with a clear introduction that explicitly explains how one or more causes lead to a single consequence. This structure sets the tone for the writing and provides readers with a framework for understanding the evidence presented in subsequent paragraphs. Instead of secondary causes, focus on primary reasons in the introduction. So readers can better understand the significance of each piece of evidence and how they all work together to create the final result.

Causal Chain Method

We use the causal chain method when events lead to one another in a logical sequence. This cause-and-effect essay format requires you to devote each body paragraph to an event caused by the preceding event. Then, repeat, leading to the next event. The main causes should build a chain, uniting the first and the last occasion in a logical sequence that explains the cause-and-effect process.

To sum up, the most suitable format for your essay can significantly impact how effectively you convey your ideas. If you find it challenging to write a cause-and-effect essay or are facing time constraints, seek assistance from professional writers at  Papersowl.com .

How to Write a Cause and Effect Essay

Using your outline as a guide, introduce the body of your first draft by ensuring each paragraph has a clear topic sentence that supports your thesis statement.

Choose the Topic You Like

The initial step in creating the effect essay examples is to choose a topic that captures your interest. By doing so, you can make the research process more enjoyable and stay engaged throughout the writing process.

Do Proper Research

Thorough research is crucial for well-informed cause-and-effect essays. Use reputable sources like academic journals, books, and credible websites to support your arguments and shed light on the topic's relationship. This way, you can present a compelling argument that effectively communicates the cause-and-effect relationship to your audience.

Determine Causes and Effects

Analyzing the causes & effects of a topic can help you unfold a clear thesis statement for your essay, develop the body of your work, and highlight significant results related to that one cause. It also enables a more nuanced perspective on complex issues and provides insightful analysis. Moreover, it helps identify potential solutions or areas for further research. Understanding what's causing an issue and proposing specific actions makes it easier to address it or explore new avenues.

Start With an Outline

Before delving into any cause-and-effect essay topics, create an outline to ensure your work is coherent and logically organized. Include all main ideas, especially those related to cause or effect. Each body paragraph should focus on a specific point supported by evidence and examples. Discussing potential counterarguments in your outline can strengthen your argument and anticipate objections from readers.

A concise layout ensures that your essay is easy to follow and effectively conveys your ideas to your audience. To craft an engaging introduction for your cause-and-effect essay, start by grabbing the reader's attention with a hook to set the tone for the rest of your work. It could be in the form of an interesting statistic, anecdote, or quote that relates to your topic. From there, provide some background information on the matter before presenting your thesis statement. This should clearly state the causes and effects you will discuss in your essay.

In the conclusion of your cause-effect essay, you have to summarize the main points of your essay and restate your thesis statement in a way that emphasizes its significance. You can also provide some final thoughts or insights on the topic, leaving the reader with something to ponder.

It is essential to ensure that your conclusion does not introduce new ideas or information but ties everything together and leaves a lasting impression on the reader. By following these tips for crafting an effective cause-and-effect essay outline, you will be well on your way to producing a compelling piece of writing. It will effectively convey your message to your audience. Let us delve into an example:

Introductory Paragraph:

• The prevalence of bullying in schools is staggering, with almost 80% of children affected by this harmful behavior. Addressing this pervasive issue requires our urgent attention and concerted efforts.
• The education system needs to understand the underlying causes of this problem and take proactive measures to address it.

Cause 1: Bullies have problems at home

• Children who experience abuse or neglect at home may act out their frustration on others.

Cause 2: Bullies seek attention

• A common trait among bullies is their tendency to exhibit aggressive behavior to gain attention and establish dominance.

Cause 3: Bullies aspire to their superiority.

• Bullies may resort to aggressive behavior to exert power and control over others. Bullying may originate from deep-seated personal insecurities, creating feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness. They may temporarily feel a sense of superiority and validation by inflicting pain on others. But this ultimately perpetuates a cycle of harm that can have lasting adverse effects on both the victim and the bully.
• Bullying undermines the educational experience for victims, leading to increased anxiety, depression, decreased academic performance, and, tragically, even suicide.

Conclusion:

To effectively tackle the widespread issue of bullying, it is crucial to gain a thorough insight into the underlying root causes. Only after that can we implement effective strategies and interventions to combat this harmful behavior and create safer environments for all. Creating safe learning environments that discourage such behavior requires joint efforts from parents, teachers, and society. By approaching the issue with compassion and insight into its underlying causes, we can significantly reduce the incidence of bullying in schools. And also prevent its negative impact on individuals' physical and mental health.

To ensure consistency throughout the essay, please adhere to the following guidelines for all body paragraphs and the paper outline:

• Times New Roman font
• Double-spacing
• Justified alignment

When structuring your essay, begin with the most significant causes. We recommended that you explore various topic ideas to identify the most compelling ones. Additionally, incorporating multiple effects is permissible. A thorough understanding of cause-and-effect papers is essential for this assignment.

Write a Draft

Using your outline as a guide, introduce your first draft. Ensure each paragraph has a clear topic sentence that supports your cause-and-effect thesis statement .

Proofread Your Work

Finally, proofread every sentence and edit your writing for spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and overall essay coherence. This ensures that your essay is well-written and ready for submission.

Follow these steps to produce an excellent cause-effect essay with compelling arguments highlighting your critical thinking and communication skills.

Cause and Effect Structure Words

Cause-and-effect essay structure words are terms that show cause-and-effect relationships. To ensure clarity, it is essential to precisely identify the distinct causality (or reason) and the result and use appropriate transitions. It is important to remember that the cause happens first, followed by the outcome.

To follow are some common cause-and-effect structure words. "X" stands for the reasons, while "Y" indicates the outcome.

Remember that using proper structure words can help you communicate your ideas with your readers. It makes it easier for them to understand how different pieces of evidence or actions lead to specific outcomes or consequences.

Example of Cause and Effect Essay

NFT, or non-fungible tokens, have become a hot topic in the world of art, and their impact on the art industry is a cause-and-effect relationship worth exploring.

One of the main effects of NFTs on the art world is the potential for increased revenue for artists. With NFTs, artists can sell their digital art as unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that cannot be replicated, and collectors can purchase them as a form of investment. This has the potential to create a new revenue stream for artists who may have previously struggled to monetize their digital creations.

Another effect of NFTs on art is the potential for greater transparency and authenticity. Because NFTs are created on a blockchain, they provide a secure and verifiable record of ownership and provenance. This can help to reduce the risk of fraud and ensure that artists are properly credited and compensated for their work.

Moreover, the rise of NFTs has also created a new market for digital art, which was previously undervalued or dismissed as less valuable than traditional physical artwork. As a result, digital artists have gained greater recognition and respect within the art world.

However, there are also concerns about the environmental impact of NFTs. The process of creating and selling NFTs requires a significant amount of energy and contributes to carbon emissions. This has led to criticism from some artists and activists who are concerned about the impact on the environment.

Additionally, there are also concerns about the accessibility of NFTs. While they have the potential to provide a new revenue stream for artists, the high cost of purchasing and creating NFTs may exclude many artists and collectors who cannot afford to participate in this market.

In conclusion, the rise of NFTs has had a significant impact on the art world, creating new opportunities for artists to monetize their digital creations and increasing the value and recognition of digital art. However, there are also concerns about the environmental impact of NFTs and the potential exclusivity of this market. As the use of NFTs continues to grow and evolve, it is important to consider these effects and address any negative consequences to ensure a sustainable and equitable future for the art industry.

Writing a cause-and-effect essay can be challenging. It demands critical thinking skills and a comprehensive understanding of its arrangement and format. However, mastering this type of essay is crucial. It helps improve academic writing skills and enables individuals to comprehend complex issues more deeply. Choosing the appropriate structure for the paper can make all the difference in how effectively you communicate your opinion in sentences.

It is key to identify the key reasons and effects of the matter based on thorough research findings to create a clear thesis statement. With the right approach, anyone can compose high-quality cause-and-effect essays. They’ll provide valuable insights into the causal relationship between various pieces of evidence, individuals, or events.

Cause & effect essays Aka reason and result

The Cause and effect essay is another common essay type, either as an essay type on its own, or as part of a larger essay which includes one or more paragraphs examining causes and effects. This page gives information on what a cause and effect essay is , how to structure this type of essay, and how to use cause and effect structure words (transition signals) for this type of essay. There is also an example cause and effect essay on the topic of women at work, as well as some exercises to help you practice this area.

What are cause & effect essays?

For another look at the same content, check out YouTube » or Youku » , or this infographic » .

A cause and effect essay looks at the reasons (or causes) for something, then discusses the results (or effects). For this reason, cause and effect essays are sometimes referred to as reason and result essays. They are one of the most common forms of organisation in academic writing. Sometimes the whole essay will be cause and effect, though sometimes this may be only part of the whole essay. It is also possible, especially for short exam essays, that only the causes or the effects, not both, are discussed. See the examples below.

• Discuss the causes and effects of global warming ['cause and effect' essay]
• Explain the high death rate in Chernobyl ['causes' only essay]
• Discuss the WTO and its effects on the Chinese economy ['effects' only essay]

There are two main ways to structure a cause and effect essay. These are similar to the ways to structure problem-solution essays , namely using a block or a chain structure. For the block structure, all of the causes are listed first, and all of the effects are listed afterwards. For the chain structure, each cause is followed immediately by the effect. Usually that effect will then be the cause of the next effect, which is why this structure is called 'chain'. Both types of structure have their merits. The former is generally clearer, especially for shorter essays, while the latter ensures that any effects you present relate directly to the causes you have given.

The two types of structure, block and chain , are shown in the diagram below.

Cause and Effect Structure Words

Cause and effect structure words are transition signals which show the cause and effect relationships. It is important to be clear which is the cause (or reason) and which is the effect (or result), and to use the correct transition word or phrase. Remember that a cause happens first , and the effect happens later .

Below are some common cause and effect structure words. X is used to indicate a cause, while Y is used to indicate the effect.

• The first cause of (Y) is (X)
• The next reason is (X)
• Because of (X), (Y)
• As a result of (X), (Y)
• As a consequence of (X), (Y)
• because/since/as (X)
• to result from (X)
• (X) results in (Y)
• to be the result of (X)
• (Y) is due to (X)
• Owing to (X), (Y)
• (Y) is because of (X)
• (Y) is the effect of (X)
• (Y) is the consequence of (X)
• Worsening pollution levels in cities are due to the increased use of cars.
• Because of the increased use of cars, pollution levels in cities are worsening.
• As a result of the increased use of cars, pollution levels in cities are worsening.
• The effect of the increased use of cars is a worsening of pollution levels in cities.
• The first effect of (X) is (Y)
• Another result of (X) is (Y)
• As a result, (Y)
• As a consequence, (Y)
• Consequently (Y)
• Therefore, (Y)
• (X) causes (Y)
• (X) has an effect on (Y)
• (X) affects (Y)
• (X) is one of the causes of (Y)
• (X) is the reason for (Y)
• Cars are used increasingly for urban transport. As a consequence , pollution levels in cities are worsening.
• Increased use of cars for urban transport adversely affects pollution levels in cities.
• Increased use of cars for urban transport is one of the causes of worsening pollution levels in cities.

Example essay

Below is a cause and effect essay. This essay uses the block structure . Click on the different areas (in the shaded boxes to the right) to highlight the different structural aspects in this essay, i.e. Causes, Effects, and structure words. This will highlight not simply the paragraphs, but also the thesis statement and summary , as these repeat the causes and effects contained in the main body.

Title: More and more women are now going out to work and some women are now the major salary earner in the family. What are the causes of this, and what effect is this having on families and society?

In the past, most women stayed at home to take care of domestic chores such as cooking or cleaning. Women's liberation and feminism have meant that this situation has been transformed and in contemporary society women are playing an almost equal role to men in terms of work. This has had significant consequences , both in terms of the family , for example by improving quality of life and increasing children's sense of independence , and also for society itself with greater gender equality . The main reasons behind the increase of women in the workplace are women's liberation and feminism. The women's liberation movement originated in the 1960s and was popularised by authors such as Simone de Beauvoir. As a consequence of this, new legislation emerged, granting women equal rights to men in many fields, in particular employment. Because of feminist ideas, men have taken up roles which were previously seen as being for women only, most importantly those related to child rearing. As a result of this, women have more time to pursue their own careers and interests. These have led to some significant effects, both to family life and to society as a whole. Although the earning capacity of a woman in her lifetime is generally much less than that of a man, she can nevertheless make a significant contribution to the family income. The most important consequence of this is an improved quality of life. By helping to maintain a steady income for the family, the pressure on the husband is considerably reduced, hence improving both the husband's and the wife's emotional wellbeing. Additionally, the purchasing power of the family will also be raised. This means that the family can afford more luxuries such as foreign travel and a family car. A further effect on the family is the promotion of independence in the children. Some might argue that having both parents working might be damaging to the children because of a lack of parental attention. However, such children have to learn to look after themselves at an earlier age, and their parents often rely on them to help with the housework. This therefore teaches them important life skills. As regards society, the most significant impact of women going to work is greater gender equality. There are an increasing number of women who are becoming politicians, lawyers, and even CEOs and company managers. This in turn has led to greater equality for women in all areas of life, not just employment. For example, women today have much stronger legal rights to protect themselves against domestic violence and sexual discrimination in the workplace. In conclusion, the increasing number of women at work has brought about some important changes to family life, including improved quality of life and increased independence for children, as well as affecting society itself. It is clear that the sexes are still a long way from being equal in all areas of life, however, and perhaps the challenge for the present century is to ensure that this takes place.

Cause and Effect Essay Outline: Types, Examples and Writing Tips

Author:  Tomas White

This is a complete guide on writing cause and effect essays. Find a link to our essay sample at the end. Let's get started!

What is a Cause and Effect Essay?

A cause and effect essay is the type of paper that the author is using to analyze the causes and effects of a particular action or event. A curriculum usually includes this type of exercise to test your ability to understand the logic of certain events or actions.

If you can see the logic behind cause and effect in the world around you, you will encounter fewer problems when writing. If not, writing this kind of paper will give you the chance to improve your skillset and your brain’s ability to reason.

“Shallow men believe in luck or in circumstance. Strong men believe in cause and effect.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

In this article, the  Handmade Writing team will find out how to create an outline for your cause and effect essay – the key to successful essay writing.

Types of the Cause and Effect Essay

Before writing this kind of essay, you need to draft the structure. A good structure will result in a good paper, so it’s important to have a plan before you start. But remember , there’s no need to reinvent the wheel: just about every type of structure has already been formulated by someone.

If you are still unsure about the definition of an essay, you can take a look at our guide:  What is an Essay?

Generally speaking, there are three types of cause and effect essays. We usually differentiate them by the number of and relationships between the different causes and the effects. Let’s take a quick look at these three different cases:

1. Many causes, one effect

This kind of essay illustrates how different causes can lead to one effect. The idea here is to try and examine a variety of causes, preferably ones that come from different fields, and prove how they contributed to a particular effect. If you are writing about World War I, for example, mention the political, cultural, and historical factors that led to the great war.

By examining a range of fundamental causes, you will be able to demonstrate your knowledge about the topic.

Here is how to structure this type of essay:

• Introduction
• Cause #3 (and so on…)
• The effect of the causes

2. One cause, many effects

This type of cause and effect essay is constructed to show the various effects of a particular event, problem, or decision. Once again, you will have to demonstrate your comprehensive knowledge and analytical mastery of the field. There is no need to persuade the reader or present your argument . When writing this kind of essay, in-depth knowledge of the problem or event’s roots will be of great benefit. If you know why it happened, it will be much easier to write about its effects.

Here is the structure for this kind of essay:

• Effect #3 (and so on…)

3. Chain of causes and effects

This is the most challenging type. You need to maintain a chain of logic that demonstrates a sequence of actions and consequences, leading to the end of the chain. Although this is usually the most interesting kind of cause and effect essay, it can also be the most difficult to write.

Here is the outline structure:

• Effect #1 = Cause #2
• Effect #2 = Cause #3
• Effect #3 = Cause #4 (and so on…)

Cause and Effect Essay Outline Example

Let’s take a look at an example. Below, you will find an outline for the topic “The causes of obesity” (Type 1) :

As you can see, we used a blended strategy here. When writing about the ever-increasing consumption of unhealthy food, it is logical to talk about the marketing strategies that encourage people to buy fast food. If you are discussing fitness trainers, it is important to mention that people need to be checked by a doctor more often, etc.

How do I start writing once I have drafted the structure?

If you start by structuring each paragraph and collecting suitable examples, the writing process will be much simpler. The final essay might not come up as a classic five paragraph essay – it all depends on the cause-effect chain and the number of statements of your essay.

In the Introduction, try to give the reader a general idea of what the cause and effect essay will contain. For an experienced reader, a thesis statement will be an indication that you know what you are writing about. It is also important to emphasize how and why this problem is relevant to modern life. If you ever need to write about the Caribbean crisis, for instance, state that the effects of the Cold War are still apparent in contemporary global politics.

In the Body, provide plenty of details about what causes led to the effects. Once again, if you have already assembled all the causes and effects with their relevant examples when writing your plan, you shouldn’t have any problems. But, there are some things to which you must pay particular attention. To begin with, try to make each paragraph the same length: it looks better visually. Then, try to avoid weak or unconvincing causes. This is a common mistake, and the reader will quickly realize that you are just trying to write enough characters to reach the required word count.

Moreover, you need to make sure that your causes are actually linked to their effects. This is particularly important when you write a “chained” cause and effect essay (type 3) . You need to be able to demonstrate that each cause was actually relevant to the final result. As I mentioned before, writing the Body without preparing a thorough and logical outline is often an omission.

The Conclusion must be a summary of the thesis statement that you proposed in the Introduction. An effective Conclusion means that you have a well-developed understanding of the subject. Notably, writing the Conclusion can be one of the most challenging parts of this kind of project. You typically write the Conclusion once you have finished the Body, but in practice, you will sometimes find that a well-written conclusion will reveal a few mistakes of logic in the body!

How to Write a Cause and Effect Essay Properly

Did you know that the butterfly effect, a concept from chaos theory, suggests that the flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil could set off a tornado in Texas? While this idea may seem whimsical, it underscores the profound interconnectedness of events in our world. In much the same way, crafting a cause and effect essay is about tracing these interconnected threads, connecting dots, and revealing the hidden relationships that shape our experiences.

How to Write a Cause and Effect Essay: Short Description

In this detailed guide, our paper writing service experts will take a close look at the intriguing concept of causality and provide you with practical advice for crafting excellent cause and effect essay examples. These essays won't just give information but will also leave a lasting impression on your readers. Whether you're exploring the realms of science or examining the complexities of our society, join us on this journey as we reveal the key elements for mastering a compelling structure of a cause and effect essay.

Cause and Effect Definition in Essays

What is a cause and effect essay? To truly understand this fundamental concept, we must delve deeper into the intricate web of interconnections that shape our world, all while honing our critical thinking skills. At its core, cause, and effect encapsulates the idea that every action, event, or phenomenon is not isolated but rather part of a vast network of relationships, where each element exerts its influence, creating a ripple effect that resonates through time and space.

To define cause and effect, we must go beyond recognizing simple relationships, as it involves deciphering the subtle mechanisms that drive these connections. It's akin to peering beneath the surface of a calm pond and discovering the currents that stir beneath. In essence, it's the exploration of why things happen and the exploration of the repercussions that follow.

Imagine a stone cast into that tranquil pond: the cause. As it strikes the water's surface, it sends ripples outward, affecting the entire pond. The expanding ripples symbolize the effect, demonstrating how a single action can set off a chain reaction, altering the course of events. This is the essence of causality—a perpetual dance of actions and reactions where nothing occurs in isolation.

How to Write a Cause and Effect Essay with Easy Steps

Crafting compelling cause and effect paragraph examples involves a systematic approach. Follow these ten valuable steps to navigate the intricacies of writing a thought-provoking essay that explores the web of causality.

1. Select a Focused Topic

• Choose a specific cause and effect relationship that piques your interest.

2. Dig for Causal Links

• Research thoroughly to uncover hidden connections and evidence.

3. Create a Clear Thesis

• Craft a precise thesis statement to guide your essay's direction.

4. Organize Chronologically

• Structure your essay in a logical, time-based order for clarity.

5. Utilize Transition Words

• Employ transitional phrases for smooth transitions between causes and effects.

6. Support with Evidence

• Back your claims with credible data, examples, and statistics.

7. Show Chain Reactions

• Reveal how one cause can trigger multiple effects, and vice versa.

8. Analyze Root Causes

• Go beyond surface-level explanations to explore underlying factors.

9. Consider Alternative Causes

• Address counterarguments to strengthen your essay's credibility.

10. Conclude with Impact

• Summarize key points and emphasize the broader significance of your analysis.

Cause and Effect Essay Structure: 2 Common Types

When organizing your essay, you have various structural approaches at your disposal. Let's explore two commonly used types of a cause and effect essay structure:

• Block Structure

The block structure is a straightforward and organized way to present the causes and effects in a cause and effect essay. In this approach, you first dedicate one section to discussing all the causes, including multiple causes within each category, and then another section to explore all the effects. This clear separation provides a distinct and easily digestible presentation of your ideas.

When employing the block structure, you can delve deeply into each category, thoroughly examining the causes and effects separately. This approach is particularly useful when you want to offer in-depth analysis and emphasize the significance of each aspect of the causal relationship. It allows your readers to grasp the full scope of each element before moving on to the next.

• Chain Structure

In contrast, the chain structure in cause and effect essays emphasizes the interconnected nature of events and their ripple effects. This approach showcases how one cause leads to a specific effect, which then becomes the cause of subsequent effects in a continuous chain. It's a powerful way to illustrate the complexity and depth of causal relationships.

The chain structure can be particularly effective when you want to emphasize the sequence of events or when you're dealing with intricate cause-and-effect scenarios. It allows you to demonstrate how actions set off a series of reactions, highlighting the domino effect that ultimately leads to a particular outcome.

What is a Cause and Effect Essay?

A cause and effect essay explores why things happen (causes) and what happens as a result (effects). This type of essay aims to uncover the connections between events, actions, or phenomena. It helps readers understand the reasons behind certain outcomes.

In a cause and effect essay, you typically:

• Identify the Cause: Explain the event or action that initiates a chain of events. This is the "cause."
• Discuss the Effect: Describe the consequences or outcomes resulting from the cause.
• Analyze the Relationship: Clarify how the cause leads to the effect, showing the cause-and-effect link.

Cause and effect essays are common in various academic disciplines. For instance, studies in sciences, history, and the social sciences rely on essential cause and effect questions. For instance, "what are the effects of climate change?", or "what are the causes of poverty?"

Now that you know what a cause and effect is, let’s read some examples.

Cause and Effect Essay Examples for Students

Here is an example of a well-written cause and effect essay on social media. Let’s analyze it in parts to learn why it is good and how you can write an effective essay yourself. 

The essay begins with a compelling hook that grabs the reader's attention. It presents a brief overview of the topic clearly and concisely. The introduction covers the issue and ends with a strong thesis statement , stating the essay's main argument – that excessive use of social media can negatively impact mental health.

The first body paragraph sets the stage by discussing the first cause - excessive social media use. It provides data and statistics to support the claim, which makes the argument more compelling. The analysis highlights the addictive nature of social media and its impact on users. This clear and evidence-based explanation prepares the reader for the cause-and-effect relationship to be discussed.

The second body paragraph effectively explores the effect of excessive social media use, which is increased anxiety and depression. It provides a clear cause-and-effect relationship, with studies backing the claims. The paragraph is well-structured and uses relatable examples, making the argument more persuasive. 

The third body paragraph effectively introduces the second cause, which is social comparison and FOMO. It explains the concept clearly and provides relatable examples. It points out the relevance of this cause in the context of social media's impact on mental health, preparing the reader for the subsequent effect to be discussed.

The fourth body paragraph effectively explores the second effect of social comparison and FOMO, which is isolation and decreased self-esteem. It provides real-world consequences and uses relatable examples. 

The conclusion effectively summarizes the key points discussed in the essay. It restates the thesis statement and offers practical solutions, demonstrating a well-rounded understanding of the topic. The analysis emphasizes the significance of the conclusion in leaving the reader with a call to action or reflection on the essay's central theme.

This essay follows this clear cause and effect essay structure to convey the message effectively:

nguồn thu nhập bị cắt đứt thì vẫn có thể dựa vào những nguồn khác.

Dàn bài gợi ý

• The phenomenon of multiple jobs at the same time
• Writer’s opinions on the reasons and the disadvantages

B/   Body 1 :   The main reason

C/ Body 2 : The main problem

• difficult to get high achievements in any fields.

D/ Conclusion : Restate the introduction.

Bài viết tham khảo

Nowadays, employees are likely to  opt for  different jobs at the same time. This essay will firstly suggest diversified  income sources  to be the goal  underlying  this phenomenon, and secondly, consider whether the overall impact of this development has been positive or negative . 

Without uncertainty, having many jobs at the same time allows people to grow  multiple  income streams. In fact,  owing to  the current popularity of part-time or freelance employment, many employees are struggling to make ends meet with only one source of income, and they are also  finding  job security, health insurance and vacations to be  privileges  of work benefits, rather than  rights . In these cases, having multiple jobs at once helps people improve their  financial stability,  and ensure avoidance of disaster if either job is  disrupted . Celebrities are typical examples,  whose  volatile career paths had left many vulnerable  to  bankruptcy  before  side businesses  became the norm in the industry. David Beckham, as an illustration, makes a good living out of his fashion brand  post-hayday  in comparison to his co-worker Ronaldinho, who  ran dry  his hundred-million-dollar fortune not long after retirement.

In regards to the effect of this phenomenon, disadvantages can overwhelm advantages. One of the main problems of having multiple jobs at the same time is the low possibility to  commit to  important goals for  career development . More specifically, it can be challenging for people with multiple jobs to win high achievements, as those require serious  devotion of  time and effort towards a single project, which is highly unrealistic,  given  the  occupying  of other  priorities  in their limited schedule. As a result, they need to make greater effort than others in terms of time management, discipline and productivity, or else,  notable achievements  in any  career paths  are beyond their reach..

In conclusion, while people think that taking different jobs at the same time allows them to boost their financial stability ,  it can make them become  mediocre  compared to competing  professionals  in their fields.
