does correlation show cause and effect. | ryan1392

Just another WordPress.com site. Does correlation show cause and effect. February 26, 2012. Many people me being one of them can get pretty confused when told that the relationship between two factors doesnt show cause and effect. Surely if more ice creams are sold on hot days then it shows that the heat makes people buy ice creams to keep themselves cool….right? In conclusion its clear that correlation is too simple as it cuts out to many factors to find causation. This entry was posted in Uncategorized.

Just another WordPress.com site. Final Comments :-) WOOOOOOOOO →. Facebook – Whats on your mind? March 20, 2012. After coming across an article, discussing the new link found between the number of friends people have on Facebook and the degree to which they are a narcissist*, it made me think what sort of effect has social networking had on society. Craig (2012) said that young people are becoming increasingly narcissistic and Facebook has provided a platform for this. But this isn’t the only problem.

Just another WordPress.com site. Can correlation show causality? So, Blog, it’s been a while and I have to say, I did not miss you. I would much rather be lazying around watching Zorro (sexy Spanish dude) preferably with a hot water bottle. Enough about me. Let’s talk about correlation and causation.

We all have a personal love for the internet, but I never really considered the internet as an ethical issue until this year. So is there a place for ethics on the internet?
