Because reflection precedes the sharing of food, a decision is required that involves self-esteem, sociability, memory and logic.
 
Reflexivity is understood as the response of reflective thought about options emanating from assessing relational situations.
 
The human quality of reflexivity is important because it enhances considerations of morality in mental processes when evaluating situations, thus instilling a sense of ‘right and wrong’ in regard to social interaction.
 
Human intelligence is enhanced by reflexivity that usually engenders other things in human relations, particularly respect and responsibility, which are conducive to balanced relations.
