WHAT TYPES OF CONFLICT OCCUR IN OUR LIVES?
Conflict sucks! It really does. However, conflict is NECESSARY. Conflict promotes growth, innovation, maturity, change, and the list goes on.

WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CAUSE AND EFFECT?
WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CAUSE AND EFFECT?
Cause and effect is a relationship between events or things, where one is the result of the other or others. This is a combination of action and reaction. Keep in mind that the lack of action is considered an action. Therefore, there can still be a reaction to lack of action. Sometimes determining the cause and effect of a situation can be simple but that isn't always the case. Here is a nice refresher when it comes to determining the cause and effect of a piece of literature.
Ask yourself:
- What events does the author describe in the selection?
- What causes are given for the events described in the selection?
- Which words and phrases did the author use to signal cause/effect relationships? (because, since, thus, so that, if...then, therefore, nevertheless, this led to, as a result of, then...so, for this reason, on account of, due to..., consequently)
