Causal Reasoning

One concept that I was not really clear is Causal Reasoning. In my opinion, causal reasoning is trying to find a relationship among two events and comparing their cause and effect to prove that one event was causing the other event’s occurrence. For example, a whole forest fire started from an unknown fire source. If investigation were found that the source was from a smaller fire started from a camping site started from a small explosion from a small gas tank. In-depth investigation was that it was started from the negligence of some campers who did not care about putting out their camping fire and their unsafe usage of the fire pit by leaving it on with the gas tank near it with branches and dry leaves near the fire place. Causal reasoning is pointing out that the cause of the whole forest fire was due to the negligence of those campers who started the smaller fire which causes the smaller explosion and started the whole forest fire.
