Social action - is a way of human existence, the society, which is manifested in a meaningful transformation and reflection of the world, living conditions.When this effect occurs as that already exists in nature, and that is formed artificially individuals (humans).
Social action includes contradictions, the main features and driving forces that are characteristic of social reality.No coincidence that it is at the heart eminent scientists.For example, Weber developed a theory of social action.According to him, it can be oriented as expected and the present and the past behavior of the people.This social action (including non-interference) may show a revenge for the wrongs of the past, the protection from danger today or prevention of such, which is expected tomorrow.Sent it can be to strangers and acquaintances.
According to the concept Weber's social action has two features.In the first place it is different rationality and awareness.Secondly, it is directed to the behavior of other people.
Social action is caused by a particular human need.This need is formed into an ideal target.This is the inner impulse that causes the action to some extent energy source.Various types of dissatisfaction has different shapes (hunger, anxiety, creative anxiety, moral discomfort, etc.).They all point to the contradiction which occur between what people need and what they have a certain, given conditions.Dissatisfaction provokes an action.The purpose performs the expected outcome, which will presumably need permission.Thus, after achieving equilibrium occurs between the time and the desired needs.
should be noted that not every action can be called social.This is due to the fact that it is not always directed to other people.
example, highly specialized scientific figure may seek to implement a specific science and cognitive needs.He knows the situation, provides certain known facts and data that should be investigated.Accordingly, scientists working on a plan solutions, speculate, advancing hypothesis, choosing methods of evidence.In this case, the action is not a social.Of course, the capacity for setting scientific objectives, the decision itself it is a product of society.In addition, the scientist in his search based on a foundation formed by previous generations.In this sense, the science of looking at the problem solved through the eyes of society as a whole.However, in particular the moment during the search for the problem solution itself is not a social action.
In another situation is perceived if a scientist in the course of his research feels the need to create favorable conditions.This need can be expressed, for example, to obtain recognition of colleagues in overcoming possible obstacles and so on.In this case, the science as human interaction.The result is a social action.
This status is due to focus on the formation of other individuals that provide an indirect or direct interaction.
as semantic start of social action can be considered a source of motivation and social development.Focus on others in its essence is an essential tool and an environment conducive to the satisfaction of human needs, the realization of life goals.
