Suppose you asked James whether he would like a hamburger or a hotdog for lunch and he said that he wanted a hot dog. Five hours later you ask him what he would like for dinner, a hamburger or a hot dog. James answers "A hamburger." Do James’s preferences for hot dogs versus hamburgers obey the conditions of rationality--complete transitive and reflective? Why or why not?

Respuesta :

James’s preferences for hot dogs versus hamburgers does not obey the conditions of rationality--complete transitive and reflective.

  • Rationality refers to the state of being rational which means when a person is agreeable to reason to a particular thing. Rationality means conforming to the belief that one has.

  • Completeness means that an entity can rank the options that they have.

  • In this case, since James was asked whether he would like either a hamburger or a hotdog and he said that he wanted a hotdog, but since he said that he would like to eat hamburger five hours later, then this means that he isn't consistent with his choices, then the condition of rationality--complete transitive and reflective is not met.
