Lecture 2: Problem-Solution and Argument
Solution essays
You are required to give an account as an answer, to describe and explore the situation regarding the topic, with less emphasis on giving opinions. You should describe the situation regarding the topic, and explore the reasons for the situation being what it is. Although in this case you don not have to support an argument, it is wise to provide evidence of the truth (or otherwise) of the situation.
The writing pattern involved is cause-effect:
Cause-effect relationships are part of our everyday world. Everything you do has causes or reasons, as well as effects or results. You will often have to analyze causes and effects in college assignments. For example, what are the causes and effects of the following:
*the Civil War?
*drug addiction?
*a dust storm
*crime?
*inflation?
*the information revolution?
*entry into WTO
In an essay, you may discuss the causes of something, the effects of something, or both the causes and the effects. Two cases: multiple causes and effects: one cause may have many effects, and one effect may have many causes; causes and effects can occur in chains. Eg.
A poor grade in school(low self-esteem
--drop out of school
--feel even worse about yourself,
--etc.
Ask questions before writing:
Causes: Why did it happen?
What are the reasons?
Effects: What happened as a result?
What are the consequences?
How did one thing affect or change another?
Make a list of the possible causes and effects of divorce, then decide which ideas you want to use as supporting details in your essay.
Divorce
Causes Effects
Infidelity children
Incompatibility financial situation
Drug abuse job performance
Writing a thesis statement for the essay:
Subject + causes/effects/both examined
The reasons people get divorced are as varied as the people themselves.
The most serious effect of divorce is on the children.
