Read the text below:
"That the telling of tales is a constant activity everywhere seems clear
enough, yet this activity is by no means uniform in the various parts of the
world, and as one moves over the continents, he finds extraordinary
variability within the uniformity of the general practice. At first view this
variety may seem merely kaleidoscopic and lawless. However, only a little
careful study is needed to show that, like other elements of human culture,
folktales are not mere creatures of chance. They exist in time and space.
They are also affected by the nature of the land where they are current, by
the linguistic and social contacts of its people, and by the lapse of the years
and their accompanying historic changes. An approach to the understanding
of the folktales of the world demands, therefore, that use be made of all
possible resources furnished by the labors of historians, geographers,
ethnographers, and psychologists, whose theories can be used to back up
future discoveries."
(THOMPSON, Stith. The Folktale. Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1977, P.13)

Because can be used as a conjunction as it is portrayed in: The game was cancelled because of the heavy
rain.
"For" is usually used to indicate that the reason is an afterthought, an idea that emerges once the first
idea is stated.
"As" and "since" are usually used to show that the reason why something happened is not as important as
the main clause, or that the reason is well-known already.
For is also used to join clauses in a cause and effect relationship and indicates a reason why something
happens.
"For" is similar in meaning to "because," "as," or "since." However, "because" usually suggests that the
reason is the most important part of the idea.
