Essays / Cause and Effect Essay Trouble [6]

I really have no clue what to write my cause and effect essay on. I am looking for a topic that would be simple, quick, and easily put together. Our requirements are few (1 1/2 to 2 pages with 4 sources from our school's library databases) and the topics can cover anything that would have a "cause" and an "effect". I've pretty much come up with nothing so far. I thought of writing on social cirlces that junior high/9th/10th grade students run in and the effect their economic and family backgrounds have on their choices of dress, friends and habits. I also think that this is a terrible essay topic that wouldn't come together very well if I tried to write on it. I'm just looking for some suggestions (ASAP) or ideas on some easy, college-student related topics that could be thrown together in a few hours (I'm a fairly fast writer once I get started).

Thanks a ton!
