Chapter 15

I learned that there is a certain criteria for cause and effect in Chapter 15. There are six major steps that one should follow. First you should always remember that the cause happened and that the effect happened as well. The cause will always precede the effects in arguments and it is nearly imporssible for the cause to happen the effect not to happen given the normal conditions. It is important to also remember that the cause does make a difference because if the cause had not been true then the effect would not have happened and been proven true. The last rule that I learned about steps for cause and effect is that there is no common cause. I also learned in Chapter 15 that there are two mistakes in evaluation cause and effect. Most people tend to reverse the cause and effect and they also look too hard for a cause which can end in a bad argument. I found Chapter 15 very effective and useful in my learning.
