MURWANI
INTRODUCTION

- The cause- effect explains why or how some event happened, and what result from the event.
- It is a study of the relationship between two or more events or experiences.
- In other words, cause and effect focus on why things happen (causes) and what happens as a
result (effect).
- Nothing happens without a reason or without some kind of consequences

called Cause and Effect
- CAUSE is why something happened
- EFFECT is the result of what happened
- ( Because effects always have causes and causes always lead to effects, we ready see one
without the other.
