The hungry bear problem in British Columbia is an example of a cause and effect relationship. This causes the bears to be hungry and look for food near the cities. One problem leads to another problem. More houses are built in a part of town, which causes traffic on the city streets. Or maybe it's a cause and effect solution.
More police are hired, so the crime rate goes down.
You can find many examples of cause and effect in stories reported in Dayton Daily News or Springfield News-Sun . Read the current issue and look for a cause and effect relationship in at least one of the local news reports. Copyright 2000 Learners Online, Inc.
