Essay : Causal Argument Essay
For this essay, you will explore and prove a causal and effect relationship pertaining to Social class, socioeconomic status, or economic inequalities in our culture. For this essay, we will be focusing specifically on class issues. As we have practiced in class, you may choose one of two options: Discuss the cause(s) then determine the effects OR discuss the effects and determine the cause(s). Your "job" as the writer is to prove that causal and effect relationship. You do not have to solve the problem like you did in essay 2.
You will write a thesis-driven argumentative essay using at leastONE of the following essays as evidence of the cause and/or effect that you identified but must use a total of TWO sources.You are required to quote and summarize from these articles as evidence of your cause and/or effects.You may use an article from outside of these texts, but it must be approved by me, and one of the essays listed below must be used. Your guiding question for this essay is: What is one economic and class issue in today's society (effect) and what are its roots (cause)?
Present a clear and explicit thesis statement that argues and claims this causal and effect relationship; it is best to place it at the end of your first paragraph but can place it anywhere in your introduction paragraph.

Tips

• Be sure the reasons you provide, or the sequence of events you provide, make sense and are logical.
