Causal analysis intertwine with the cause and effect process. Cause and effect is the relationship between actions or events such that one or more are the result of the other or others.
There are 5 important steps to writing a casual analysis. First, explore your purpose and topic by looking at a familiar subject, new and local issues, choosing subjects with dimensions, and tackling issues that presume to be settled. Secondly, remember to help determine your target market by creating and understanding your audiences of choice. Thirdly, locate supporting and developing materials. Fourthly, creating structure is key. When you are creating structures it helps explain why something happened, the consequence of phenomenon, chains of causes, and it suggests alternative views on cause and effect. Finally, choose your style and design.
Cause and effect is used in everyday life. It is something that we are conscious and aware of. If you are struggling to write a causal analysis, maybe try something personal. I'm sure there was a time in your life your mom may have told you not to do something; hardheadedly, you didn't listen and something bad happened. Or there may be that moment where you had a gut feeling about something and did the opposite and something resulted from that. I remember when I was in elementary school, every morning on the announcements the principal would say,"Good choices, good consequences, bad choices, bad consequences; the choice is yours." I'm not going to lie as a kid, it was a bit abrasive. As an adult, when I reflect on this, it's very powerful and prerogative. So I say to you, "Good choices, good consequences, bad choices, bad consequences; the choice is yours."
That reminds me of when a teacher told me, when I was a first grader, to write "until your heart's content." I didn't know what she meant but it sounded so scary to me that I wrote for the rest of the day, hardly stopping (I was in timeout). I could write an entire causal analysis about how that impacted me.
