1. reasons

   In the most general terms, a reason is a consideration which justifies or explains an action, a belief, an attitude, or a fact.Normative reasons are what people appeal to when making arguments about what people should do or believe. For example, that a doctor's patient is grimacing is a reason to believe the patient is in pain. That the patient is in pain is a reason for the doctor to do things to alleviate the pain. Explanatory reasons are explanations of why things happened. For example, the reason the patient is in pain is that her nerves are sending signals from her tissues to her brain. A reason, in many cases, is brought up by the question "why?", and answered following the word because. Additionally, words and phrases such as since, due to, as, considering (that), a result (of), and in order to, for example, all serve as explanatory locutions that precede the reason to which they refer.

Examples of reasons in a Sentence

1. Parker Singleton:

   Our hypothesis is that in a diseased state, your brain is going to have higher energy hills and lower energy valleys. More so than a placebo, different parts of their brain can’t talk to each other, that’s why someone stuck in a negative pattern of thought could be having a hard time — in spite of new evidence they’re not able to see that there are reasons to be happy. Psychedelic therapy could flatten out that energy landscape again and allow more information to come in. It could allow depressed or anxious people to update their models of the world.

2. Stephanie Pyser:

   This neighborhood tends to be a little bit more Republican, so I wouldn't have brought up politics too much at social settings, that was one of the reasons we started Positively Blue because we didn't have anyone to talk to.

4. Andy Lyons/Getty Images:

   I love Jacksonville. It's one of the reasons I took the job. I still think Shad's a great owner. It's heartbreaking, i just had a dream of it becoming a destination place with a new facility he agreed to build and some day to walk into that stadium where it's standing room only. Because I know how bad the people of Jacksonville want it. So, I'm just heartbroken that we weren't able to do that. I still believe it's going to be done. It's too good of a place.

5. Sergio Guzman:

   The reasons driving discontent are still there, I don't think they will disappear on their own, president Duque will face greater difficulties in his last two years due to the deep divisions the country still has, its precarious economic outlook and its complicated security situation.
