In paragraph five, Wurster uses cause and effect to further help her argument that social networking is a positive way of connecting to the real-world. By saying "I attended a private listening party for a band's soon-to-be-released album. By the end of the night, i had met a handful of possible new pals and had joined a volunteer group in my city that runs an after-school program for disadvantaged children." she expresses her idea that because of online networking she has become involved in positive programs. This helps her argument because it proves her point that Internet networking does connect you to the world around us.
In the essay, Wurster uses cause and effect in paragraph 2 to further help her argument. Before, in paragraph 1, Wurster says that social-networking sites are just a waste of time. However, because of curiosity and her friends' enthusiasm about social-networks, she decided to join a social-network. After trying a network, she realizes the advantages and disadvantages about networks. Also, because Wurster joined a social-networking site, she was able to meet friends with different cultural backgrounds that she would have never met (paragraph 4). Wurster uses cause and effect that helps her develop her essay.
Wurster uses cause and effect the most effectively in paragraph two. First she explains how her friends' experience, and her curiosity after experiencing first-hand the parties that her friends had been invited to online, instigated her will to get involved in social-networking. Then she goes on to talk about the things she enjoys in virtual society and the not-so nice things. Her entire article is built up on her experience with starting to get involved in social-networking and all the positive and negative possibilities that can be experienced through this new virtual group.
