Reason-ing is a process to reach a conclusion by taking all related factors into account if there are enough evidence and information. Humans who have reasoning skills must analyze new situation which are faced in all aspects, explore, make logical inferences, explain his thoughts, reach conclusions and protect his conclusions.
