Cause and Effect
After reading the website about cause and effect, i find that this reasoning is used periodically and is very common in court of law. From what i know, cause and effect reasoning is when something happened and then another thing happened. Basically, the first scene that happened is the cause and the second scene of action of the effect. For example, because i ate the last bowl of frosted flakes, my brother requested my mom to get another box of cereal. If i did not eat the last bowl, he would not have begged my mom to get another box, he would have been full and satisfied with the amount he ate. The website about Causal arguments is useful because it allows us to know what the definition of cause and effect is and how it can be used in real life situations. Overall, i find this amusing because people in sociology majors have this term used a lot.

ReplyDeleteI can totally see how you said that cause and effect can be seen in court of law. I have seen it many times during TV shows that have scenes of different court cases where the actors act out different scenarios in which this concept can be seen. One of my favorite things about learning things in classes like this is seeing it being applied in the outside world. It makes it so much easier to understand the concept when it can be seen in real life and it also makes it much easier to remember the whole idea.
