Answer Rationing is the controlled distribution of resources and scarce goods or services: it restricts how much people are allowed to buy or consume. Rationing …controls the size of the ration, one's allotted portion of the resources being distributed on a particular day or at a particular time. Rationing has long been used in the military, especially the navy, to make supplies last for a defined duration, such as a voyage. To ration the supplies, they are divided up into equal portions for each person for each day, or even a meal, over the expected voyage period. The objective is to ensure that each person receives a fair share of supplies throughout the voyage. Often some reserve were also held. If supplies ran short or the voyage went longer than expected, the ration portions would be reduced. For example, half rations means the portions are cut in half, making the supplies last twice as long. Rationing is the government's restriction on the amounts of a specific item that can be purchased by a consumer. This is usually caused by a shortage of the item or commodity. An enforcement system usually includes the use of ration coupons or ration books. A family or person would be given these coupons or books to use over a certain period of time. For example: If the government issued you 10 coffee coupons per month; and each coupon allowed you to purchase one pound of coffee. Each time you bought one pound of coffee at the store, the store would take your money and one of your coupons. If you used up all your "coffee" coupons, then a store could not sell you coffee until you were issued more coupons. (MORE)

rationality is using the logic 'rationality'. Originally in 17th century Enlightenment designed by the priest/philosopher Descartes, and based on quite catholic 'a priori'. … Western society is very much 'addicted' to 'rationality'. To be 'rational' became almost a synonym for to use logic. Leaving this addiction will take a paradigm shift.(MORE)

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) argued that moral requirements are based on a standard of rationality he dubbed the "Categorical Imperative" (CI). Immorality thus involves a violati…on of the CI and is thereby irrational. Other philosophers, such as Locke and Hobbes, had also argued that moral requirements are based on standards of rationality. However, these standards were either desire-based instrumental principles of rationality or based on sui generis rational intuitions. Kant agreed with many of his predecessors that an analysis of practical reason will reveal only the requirement that rational agents must conform to instrumental principles. Yet he argued that conformity to the CI (a non-instrumental principle) and hence to moral requirements themselves, can nevertheless be shown to be essential to rational agency. This argument was based on his striking doctrine that a rational will must be regarded as autonomous, or free in the sense of being the author of the law that binds it. The fundamental principle of morality - the CI - is none other than the law of an autonomous will. Thus, at the heart of Kant's moral philosophy is a conception of reason whose reach in practical affairs goes well beyond that of a Humean 'slave' to the passions. Moreover, it is the presence of this self-governing reason in each person that Kant thought offered decisive grounds for viewing each as possessed of equal worth and deserving of equal respect.

"Rational" is an adjective and so there cannot be "a rational" (and certainly not "an rational"). Any answer would depend on whether the question was about a rational number,… a rational person, a rational argument or "a rational" combined with some other noun. (MORE)
