 Cause and Effect

Is a relationship between events or things,

where one is the result of other or others. This is
a combination of action and reaction.
is a relationship in which one event (the cause)
makes another event happen (the effect)? One
cause can have several effects. For example, let's
say you were conducting an experiment using
regular high school students with no athletic
ability. The purpose of our experiment is to see
if becoming an all-star athlete would increase
their attractiveness and popularity ratings among
other high school students.
Suppose that your results showed that not only
did the students view the all-star athletes as
more attractive and popular, but the self-
confidence of the athletes also improved. Here
we see that one cause (having the status of an
all-star athlete) has two effects (increased self-
confidence and higher attractiveness ratings
among other students).

Essay
Poverty
One of the most poignant parts of our modern
American is the crippling poverty that has such a significant grip on a
country that by all accounts has a surplus of food, shelter, and cash. The
word poverty refers to the absence of even the minimum amount of what
is necessary to maintain a decent life: food, shelter, and other basic
resources.
Over 35 million Americans are impoverished (describing the state of
living in poverty) but the data tends to move around a little depending
on the definition of poverty being used, and sometimes also the political
leanings of the poll-takers. Relative poverty is used to described as those
who earn less than half of the nation’s median income and therefore
have a less decent quality of life. Relative poverty statistics say that 20
percent of the country living in poverty, and going steady for 40 years.
Of that, 20 percent, 60 percent of the are considered to be America’s
working-poor class.
The tie between poverty and one’s sense of dignity is very real. So how
can a person in poverty become a person who is thriving if they are
besotted with such low self-esteem and self-worth? The cycle is
established.
