The term for sociology
Social action is defined as those acts carried out by a person or a group in favor of a cause that is considered just and that positively affects other individuals who are, in some aspect, in unequal conditions.
As defined by the philosopher Max Weber, this can be called any human behavior whose driving force is subjectively significant and that has the effect of valuable changes in the environment in which it acts. It is understood that in a social action a specific relationship is established between two parties that will determine the behavior adopted by each one.
It is necessary to clarify that not every relationship between human beings has a social character. When a person performs an action, it is motivated by their beliefs and ideologies; Only in the case in which their actions positively affect the environment in which they are developed, can we speak of social action.
Weber himself also defined sociology as the scientific field where an attempt was made to understand and interpret social actions; This would be definitive to have an idea of where the course of that society is heading, what the consequences of the actions will be and how they will change the life of the group.
Types of social action
* traditional , behavior that is motivated exclusively by ideological principles, norms and customs. It is a response to a stimulus that is carried out almost automatically, without reason being used to make decisions;
* affective , an irrational action that is motivated by an emotion , whether love, hate, or another feeling;
* rational according to values , motivated by a rational goal. However, this action is subject to the rules or customs of the subject who performs it.
It is important to note that not all currents were inclined towards this way of understanding sociology and social actions , imposed by Weber. Functionalism , for example, assured that a social action was always limited by the rules and values of the group.
