The word "reasoning" refers to the process in which facts are established and prove based on logic; additionally, in this process, there are different types of reasoning. In the case of the deductive reasoning, this occurs as general laws, events, rules, principles or any others that are general are applied to particular cases or events. For example, if we know penguins cannot fly we can conclude the penguins we see in a zoo cannot fly either. This differs from inductive reasoning because inductive reasoning goes is based on particular or specific events. Thus, it is the deductive reasoning the one that is based on laws, rules, principles, etc.
