What caused it? What are its effects?Like narrative and process, cause and effect is concerned with events in time. But instead of focusing on the order in which the events occur, cause and effect paragraphs explore why they occur and what happens because of them. Use connectives like: once cause, another cause, a more important result, because, as a result.
Example:
My younger brother and watching cartoons in television
Although i have not carried out a scientific study, I have noticed the effects of television violence on my younger brother. Every Saturday he goes on a four hour television cartoon binge. His diet includes Rambo, GI Joe, Ghostbuster, Dungeons and Dragons and occasionally The Smurfs. As my brother watches television he gets more and more excited. He runs and jumps around the room and has mock battles with furniture and imaginary enemies. Later, after he has finished watrching, he and his friends act out things they have seen in the cartoons. I feel that television cartoons cause his plan to be excessively violent.
