Casual Reasoning

In this post I am going to discuss causal reasoning. Casual Reasoning, I believe, is a very common trait among college students. In my own words, it is a belief in yourself to deduce things about a situation based only on your information. It is a very natural intuitive reasoning process that is utilized on a daily basis. The application of casual reasoning allows one to be both subjective and objective of a situation and make sense of it. It is a keen skill that if developed will help you in many ways and avoid many consequences that are unwanted. For example, have you ever been pulled over by police and had to attempt to talk your way out of the situation? First of all, it sucks. Secondly, almost every person who has been pulled over has try and talked their way out of the ticket. When I try, Casual Reasoning definitely plays a roll. I try and act a certain way while deducing what the problem is and using my reasoning skills to try and get out of the situation. Why is it qualified as casual? Well, have ou ever tried arguing with a cop? It never works out. So almost always I try and be as non-confrontational as possible while elucidating my feelings and my stand on the situation.
