Cause and Effect

A cause is simply a situation or event that happens. The effect is the change that takes place after the cause has happened. Cause and effect is much like dominoes. One sets up the dominoes in a line and they push the first dominoe. This simple little push of the first dominoe represents the cause. The first dominoe falls into the second, which then falls into the third, and so on. This represents the effect.

There are many cause and effect situations in life. One situation that falls into that catagory is rumors. Rumors are all around us. One person hears something about someone and tells someone else. That person goes and tells others which it then spreads around the whole school. Let's take a look at what the cause and effect of this situation are. The cause could be two people getting in a fight which makies them very angry with eachother. One of the persons wants to "get even" with the other so he/she tells a friend a lie about them. Now lets take a look at the effect. In this situation the effect is a much longer process then the cause. The effect is once that person gets told the lie, he/she tells others and soon it is all around the school.

There are many different Cause and effect situations in life. Some of them are good, some of them are bad. Rumors would fall into the "bad" cause and effect catagory. Everything event, or cause, that takes place has a effect. There is not one situation in life that is not cause and effect.
