Causes are understood as the foundations or the beginning of a certain situation. The cause is the first instance from which specific events or situations develop that are a necessary consequence of that and that therefore may be completely different from those that result from the presence of other causes or the same but in a different context. A cause can also be understood as a doctrine on which an ideology is taken and which it seeks to develop, encourage or protect (for example, the cause of caring for the environment). Finally, the term cause is in turn used in the judicial sphere to refer to the processes that are initiated before certain crimes or crimes.
If one limits oneself to the notion of cause as the instance responsible for the succession of subsequent events, it must be added that it will imply that the phenomena that are part of our reality always occur for a specific reason, regardless of whether such reason is knowable. or not. This is why the situations, events, manifestations and phenomena of our reality will be interconnected and linked to each other in an interactive way, and none of them can be generated independently or for no apparent reason.
The laws of causality in our world establish that some causes can occur in an organized, hierarchical and logical way, while others can occur through accidents or spontaneous situations that are not easily measurable. The laws of causality then allow the human being to establish certain analyzable parameters, although not all the processes and phenomena of our reality are comprehensible or delimitable for the human mind. The idea of cause and effect can be applied to different areas of study, such as natural sciences (physics, biology, chemistry), mathematics, logic, engineering, as well as social sciences such as history. , psychology or sociology, although in them the causal delimitation is not always unidirectional.
