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 fair and that it positively affects other individuals who are, in some aspect, in unequal conditions.

As defined by the philosopher Max Weber, any human behavior whose motor is subjectively significant and which has the effect of valuable changes in the environment in which it acts can be called this way. It is understood that in an action Social establishes a specific relationship between two parties that will determine the behavior that each one adopts.

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 where their actions positively affect the environment in which they are developed, we can speak of social action.

Weber himself also defined sociology as the scientific field where he tried to understand and interpret social actions; this would be definitive to have an idea of ​​where the course of that society is heading, what will be the consequences of the actions and in what will change the life of the group.

It also differentiates between three types of social action:

* traditional, behavior that is motivated exclusively by ideological principles, norms and customs. It is a response to a stimulus that occurs almost automatically, without reason being used to make decisions;
* affective, an irrational action that is motivated by a emotion, whether of love, hate or another feeling;
* rational according to values, motivated by a rational end. However, this action is subject to the norms or customs of the subject who performs it.

It is important to note that not all currents were inclined by this way of understanding sociology and social actions, imposed by Weber. The functionalism, for example, ensured that a social action was always limited by rules and regulations. values of the group.
