Causal Relation
A causal relation occurs when one event or factor (the cause) directly leads to another event or outcome (the effect). It's like a chain reaction: the cause influences or brings about the effect. For example, if you water a plant regularly (cause), it grows healthier (effect). Establishing causality involves showing that the cause precedes the effect, that they are connected, and that other factors are unlikely to explain the relationship. Recognizing causal relations helps us understand why things happen and predict future outcomes based on specific actions or conditions.
