there are four ideal types of social actions&period; Which are as follow&comma; goal rational social action&comma; value rational social action&comma; affective social action and traditional social action&period; Before moving on to the ideal types of social action&comma; it is important for reader to understand that&comma; what weber meant by the ideal types of social action&quest; Mentioned ideal types of social action&comma; may not occur similarly in real world as it is explained in weber theory&period; However&comma; it may exist and occur in the real world as&comma; a mixture or contaminated form of social action&period; He explained the types of actions in the context of ideal world or as ideas&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2 align&equals;"justify">Goal Rational Social Action<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">This type of social action is goal oriented and the motive of the goal is derived from the desires of actor&period; However&comma; the goal should be realistic and actor should have means which are required to achieve the goal&period; In goal rational action&semi; individual set a goal and he uses the efficient ways or means to achieve it&period; Moreover&comma; the goal and the means should be rational or justifiable&period; For example&comma; an individual may want highest score in the class&comma; however&comma; to accomplish that goal&comma; he has to work hard and give more time to study and do not let his emotions come in a way of accomplishing his goal&period; If he does not give time to his studies and yet want to score high in class then his goal and mean of achieving it is considered to be irrational or unrealistic&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2 align&equals;"justify">Value Rational Social Action<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">In value rational social action&comma; goal and means of achieving end is derived and determined by values&period; This type of social action is also considered to be rational however&comma; the rationality of that action is justified by the actor from his set of beliefs&comma; which may be aesthetic&comma; religious&comma; constitutional&comma; and based on profession policy&period; For example&comma; individuals who are in the following professions&comma; Police&comma; clergy and lawyers are supposed to choose goals and means to accomplishing it&comma; under a particular code and rules&comma; which efficiency and effectiveness cannot be questioned by them&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2 align&equals;"justify">Affective Social Action<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">Such social action is motivated by the emotions of individual&period; This type of social action is considered to be the most irrational action&period; For example&comma; if a football player gets angry during a match and in that moment of anger&comma; he hits opponent team player&comma; he knows that such action will weaken their team position and may affect his career&comma; despite knowing the consequences he hits the player&period; The reason why &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;weber” called it the most irrational social action&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2 align&equals;"justify">Traditional Social Action<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">Traditional social action is derived from the customs of society&period; For example if someone eat food with their bare hands and someone asks why are you not eating with fork and knife&quest; If he&sol;she replies that&comma; my ancestor used to eat with bare hands that’s why I am eating too that way&comma; such social action will come into the category of traditional social action&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">&NewLine;<&excl;--CusAds0-->&NewLine;<div style&equals;"font-size&colon;
