Essay Topics for Creative Problem-Solving

50 Cause And Effect Journal Prompts

We ask “Why?” when we ask a question. We often begin to investigate the causes of a topic when we ask “Why?” We ask the question “So what?” When we ask “So What?” we think about the consequences. The process of creating cause-and effect connections between events and actions is called cause-and effects writing. This allows for a better understanding.

Depending on what subject we are writing about, and the purpose of our work, it will determine whether or not to place emphasis on causes (the causes) or effects (the results). In reality, though, the relationship between cause and effect can often be so close that it is impossible to consider one without the other.
You’ll notice some topics focus more on causes than others. But keep in mind, they are both related and can sometimes be confusing.
