Two weeks ago, your professor assigned a cause and effect essay, but when the due date came, you didn\u2019t even turn it in.<\/p>\n

What caused<\/i> you not to turn in your paper?<\/p>\n

Of course, it could be any number of reasons. Let\u2019s say you simply didn\u2019t feel like writing it because you didn\u2019t have a good topic. Maybe you forgot.<\/p>\n

Maybe you left your bedroom window open, and a squirrel broke in, chewed up your notes, and chewed his way through your power cord. Your laptop\u2019s battery was dead, and with no way to charge it, you simply couldn\u2019t write the paper. (Hey, it could happen.)<\/p>\n

What was the effect<\/i> of not turning in your paper? The most immediate effect is likely a failing grade on the paper. You might even fail the course. If mom and dad are paying tuition, that \u201cF\u201d could have all other sorts of negative effects that we won\u2019t even begin to discuss here.<\/p>\n

To help you get started, here are 22 cause and effect essay topics to help you write a better essay.<\/p>\n

A Quick Overview<\/h2>\n

In order to write a good cause and effect essay, first decide if you\u2019ll write about causes, effects, or causes and<\/i> effects. (Your professor may have already decided this for you.)<\/p>\n

Next, make a list of causes and effects to help organize your ideas. The information in this list will be the body of your paper and will help support your assertions.<\/p>\n

Finally, remember to use transition words<\/a> (such as due to, because, <\/i>and therefore) <\/i>to link ideas together.<\/p>\n

22 Cause and Effect Essay Topics to Help You Write a Better Essay<\/h2>\n

To make it easier on you, I’ve separated these cause and effect essay topics into three categories: topics that examine causes, topics that examine effects, and topics that examine both.<\/p>\n

Essay topics that examine causes<\/h3>\n

1. What causes voter apathy?<\/h4>\n

Ask people why they don\u2019t vote, and you\u2019ll get a number of answers, including the fact that they don\u2019t like any candidates, that they don\u2019t have time, or that they simply don\u2019t think their votes count. Your paper might take these claims a step further by examining what causes people to feel this way.<\/p>\n

2. What causes insomnia?<\/a><\/h4>\n

While there are certainly a number of health-related causes of insomnia, you might also discuss how pressures at school, at work, or in your social life might cause you to lose sleep.<\/p>\n
