    Causal: Analysis

    Uploaded by

    Thristan Kim C. Nebres
    This document discusses causal analysis, which involves identifying the causes and effects of a particular situation, event, or phenomenon. A causal chain shows a set of causes and effects that lead to multiple other sets that happen one after another. When using causal analysis as a mode of paragraph development, writers need to avoid the logical fallacy of faulty causality, which is the inaccurate assumption that one thing caused another to happen based solely on the fact that one came before the other.
