There is common wisdom that states, “Correlation is not causation

"Correlation is not causation" to me means, just because two things correlate does not mean that one caused the other. For example, if your alarm doesn't go off, it would cause you to be late for work. But what if it was because there was a power outage? The outage would cause your alarm to not go off, causing traffic because not only did your alarm not go off but so did many others. Which all, in turn, caused you to be late. After reading a few articles on this, I now have a better understanding of correlation and causation. I will change the chain reaction that is in my essay to really flow and make them have a correlation and causation. By doing so I will be able to ensure that I argue the logical, plausible, and realistic and does not simply present an argument of illogical, far-reached, and unrealistic facts. This may mean changing up my essay almost entirely.
