Cause and effect essays are
concerned with why things
happen (causes) and what
happens as a result (effects).
Cause and effect is a common
method of organizing and
discussing ideas.
Brief Definition

In composition, cause and effect is a method F
of paragraph or essay development in which
a writer analyzes the reasons for—and/or the I
consequences of—an action, event, or N
decision.

A cause-and-effect paragraph or essay can
be organized in various ways. For instance,
T
causes and/or effects can be arranged in I
either chronological order or reverse
chronological order. Alternatively, points can O
be presented in terms of emphasis, from N

However, most situations are more complicated. The following is an W
example of a chain reaction:
Thinking about friend…forgot to buy gas…car wouldn't start…
missed math exam…failed math course.

2. Develop your thesis statement. State clearly whether you are
discussing causes, effects, or both. Introduce your main idea, using the
O
terms "cause" and/or "effect.“
3. Find and organize supporting details. Back up your thesis with relevant W
and sufficient details that are organized. You can organize details in the
following ways: R
Chronological. Details are arranged in the order in which the events
occurred. I
Order of importance. Details are arranged from least to most
important or vice versa. T
Categorical. Details are arranged by dividing the topic into parts or E
There are two main ways to structure a cause and effect essay. These are
similar to the ways to structure problem-solution essays, namely using a
S
block or a chain structure. For the block structure, all of the causes are listed
first, and all of the effects are listed afterwards. For the chain structure, each
T
cause is followed immediately by the effect.

In the past, most women stayed at home to take care of domestic chores E
such as cooking or cleaning. Women's liberation and feminism have meant
that this situation has been transformed and in contemporary society
women are playing an almost equal role to men in terms of work. This has X
had significant consequences, both in terms of the family, for example by
improving quality of life and increasing children's sense of independence,
and also for society itself with greater gender equality. A
The main reasons behind the increase of women in the workplace are
women's liberation and feminism. The women's liberation movement
originated in the 1960s and was popularized by authors such as Simone de M
Beauvoir. As a consequence of this, new legislation emerged, granting
women equal rights to men in many fields, in particular employment.
Because of feminist ideas, men have taken up roles which were previously P
seen as being for women only, most importantly those related to child
rearing. As a result of this, women have more time to pursue their own
careers and interests. These have led to some significant effects, both to L
family life and to society as a whole.
Although the earning capacity of a woman in her lifetime is generally
much less than that of a man, she can nevertheless make a significant E
contribution to the family income. The most important consequence of this
is an improved quality of life. By helping to maintain a steady income for the
A further effect on the family is the promotion of independence in the E
children. Some might argue that having both parents working might be
damaging to the children because of a lack of parental attention. However,
such children have to learn to look after themselves at an earlier age, and X
their parents often rely on them to help with the housework. This therefore
teaches them important life skills.
As regards society, the most significant impact of women going to work A
is greater gender equality. There are an increasing number of women who
are becoming politicians, lawyers, and even CEOs and company managers.
This in turn has led to greater equality for women in all areas of life, not just M
employment. For example, women today have much stronger legal rights to
protect themselves against domestic violence and sexual discrimination in
the workplace. P
In conclusion, the increasing number of women at work has brought
about some important changes to family life, including improved quality of
life and increased independence for children, as well as affecting society L
itself. It is clear that the sexes are still a long way from being equal in all
areas of life, however, and perhaps the challenge for the present century is
to ensure that this takes place. E
