effects

Effects are the results or changes caused by a specific action or event. They show what happens because of something else—like a ripple caused by throwing a stone into a pond. Effects can be immediate or develop over time, and they can influence other situations or decisions. Understanding effects helps us see the impact of our actions and make better choices, whether in daily life, work, or broader societal issues. They serve as a way to measure how effective or consequential a particular cause has been.
