Document Summary
This type of essay is unique in that it works in two different ways. You can either: a) identify a particular phenomenon and discuss the resulting effects, or b) identify a particular phenomenon and discuss the underlying causes. In either case you will be examining the interaction between a specific issue or phenomenon and the placement and influence of this issue / phenomenon in a larger context. In other words, you can discuss a cause that leads to several effects, or an effect that has several causes. Regardless of which type of causation you choose, be sure to address the stakes of your analysis by correctly identifying the audience and producers for a given issue. Assignment objectives: clearly identify the primary effect(s) an issue or phenomenon has had on a specific audience(s), or clearly identify the primary causes which have resulted in a specific issue / phenomenon. Make a clear distinction between primary effects / causes and secondary ones.
