Reason is what humans use when they wake up until they go to bed. According to the Boss text, "Reason is the process of supporting a claim or conclusion on the basis of evidence." Reasoning goes hand in hand with critical thinking. There is such use for intelligence in reasoning and it helps individuals make decisions. Logic is also another stem from reasoning and it lays out the arguments essentially providing reason or evidence for the conclusion. Emotion can also drive someone's reasoning, which makes us unique as human beings. I find it very sexist that according to traditional western thinking men are considered to be connected to the "realm of the mind and reason." Women are in return perceived as being guided more with emotional reasoning. There are some emotions that can affect an individual's reasoning and be barriers for good reasoning. These emotions include anger and fear, while emotions such as happiness can motivate critical thinking and make better decisions.
