ASSIGNMENT
SCENARIO
A causal analysis asks you to examine either the causes of a problem, why the problem has happened, or what factors have led to a particular problem.
To write an effective causal analysis essay the argument and body paragraphs should focus on 2–4 specific causes (i.e., actions, events, thoughts, attitudes, conditions, or decisions) that have led to the problem you have identified. Writing about causes is an important skill in academic, professional, and real-world contexts, and the ability to identify the causes of a problem is essential in persuasive writing.
Identify a social, environmental, or political problem that is of local, national, or global concern.
Note: Be sure to focus only on the causes of the problem in this paper; do not consider effects or solutions.
A. Write a causal analysis essay (suggested length of 3–7 pages).
