•Define what you want to do in this paper
•For example: Cause and effect
•Cause and Effect examines the relationships between what happens(the effect) and why it happens (the cause).
One cause may have several effects. For instance, if you decide tomove into the country from the city, you may have the benefit ofcleaner air, safer neighborhoods, and cheaper prices.
Or, several causes can contribute to a single effect. For example, wemake choices based on several criteria: The captain of the Titanicignored fog warnings, iceberg warnings, and even the announcementthat the ship was going to sink because he bought into the idea thatthe ship was unsinkable.
To incorporate this into a thesis statement, identify the topic, make anassertion about the topic, and decide if you want to focus on causes,effects, or both.
Example: Because of their mainly vegetarian diet, Malaysia hashealthier adults, less childhood obesity, and a booming farm economy.
