Topic- The effects of divorce

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

Horrible ._. *one word essay*

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Its been awhile since i've written a cause and effect essay. Main points- 1. Children are effected (traveling between for weekends, holidays and birthdays) 2. emotional for both parties 3. Financial (less income, loss of half of everything the divorces own, and possible child support)

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

I guess what im looking for is an outline to follow. And information on how to write an essay on just the effect part of a cause and effect essay.

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

I think this is what you're going for http://www.sciencemag.org/content/252/5011/1386.short This basically takes you through the study. But it's not going to give you the FULL document, unless you want to sign up on their website. http://sf.oxfordjournals.org/content/84/1/451.short This goes through all the emotional prequisites that come after their parents divorced..

OpenStudy (teddyiswatshecallsme):

If you simply go to "Google Scholar" And Type in "after effects of divorce on children" You'll get a plethora of information supporting your topic. :)

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

"Divorce introduces a massive change into the life of a boy or girl no matter what the age. Witnessing loss of love between parents, having parents break their marriage commitment, adjusting to going back and forth between two different households, and the daily absence of one parent while living with the other, all create a challenging new family circumstance in which to live. In the personal history of the boy or girl, parental divorce is a watershed event. Life that follows is significantly changed from how life was before." https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/surviving-your-childs-adolescence/201112/the-impact-divorce-young-children-and-adolescents

"Each year, nearly 2.8 million men and women go through the emotional and financial trauma of divorce. During divorce, many women are concerned about financial survival—and with good reason. Studies show that in the first year after divorce, the wife’s standard of living may drop almost 27 percent while the husband’s may increase by as much as 10 percent." http://www.wife.org/12-financial-pitfalls-of-divorce.htm

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

Follow this format^ this is MLA styled for cause and effect

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

A Cause and Effect essay essay is concerned with why things happen and what happens as a result (effects). Cause and effect is a common method of organizing and discussing ideas.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Alright that helps a lot

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

Any other questions? :)

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

Once you are finished I could look over it and tweak it :D

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Yes. Are my main points good? 1. Children are effected (traveling between for weekends, holidays and birthdays) 2. emotional for both parties 3. Financial (less income, loss of half of everything the divorces own, and possible child support) Okay I will be taking you up on that offer.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

And any examples on how I should start it? Im kind of out of ideas.

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

Excellent points and just back them up with links and stats. Exactly as numbered please write it like that

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

Explain and support why divorce is not such a great idea; the instructor loves humanitarian reasons most of the time.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Okay thank you so much!! :)
