Explain, as if to a curious peer, what "rational human behavior" might entail within a "social setting" according to Simon's approach, providing a simple, concrete example to illustrate your point.

This means that people have limited information, cognitive abilities, and time, which restricts their ability to process all possible options and their consequences [287].
