I will be talking about Particular causes, generalizations and general causes. there is no particular definition behind the concept. It is just laid on top of the basic definition of a cause and effect incident. Here, this example should clarify this concept :
A particular cause :
The sniper shot him at his heart; the man died on the spot.
This example shows how a cause, which happens once, creates an effect which also happens once. Now, in order to establish a relationship between these two incidents, we must look at this from various other possibilities. For instance, if the man shot him with a pistol gun, or a shot gun; or the distance between the two men. If these cases are tried, all these shots would kill the other.
Now, we can generalize this statement by stating that : A bullet shot at anyone's heart, will definitely lead to their death, unless they are wearing a bullet proof vest.
This is basically what a particular cause and effect, and a generalization of causes is.
