Brief Causal Arguments

In-class Exercise

Consider what you know about your own Topic and Thesis.
Make 5 brief Causal Arguments derived from your own research, as I have done on the Lecture Page “Types of Causal Arguments.”

1. Single Cause with a Single Effect (X causes Y)
2. Single Cause with Several Effects (X causes Y and Z)
3. Several Causes for a Single Effect (Both X and Y cause Z)
4. A Causal Chain (X causes Y, which causes Z)
5. Causation Fallacy (X does not cause Y)

Use the Reply field below the E09 Post to make your arguments.
