This assignment will sharpen your understanding of causation (cause and effect). A causal analysis probes the reasons why actions, events, attitudes, and conditions exist. Like the two sides of a coin, causation examines the effects or consequences of phenomena. Your employer may want a report on why a certain piece of equipment malfunctioned and how is it going to affect sales. Inevitably, you will need to write papers and reports that employ causation.
