		Weber´s was the type of mind which was continually developing throughout his intellectually productive life. His system of ´sociological theory´ was not meant to stand alone. We dare say that his work may be conceived rather as an introduction to the institutional foundations of the modern economic and social order. For Weber, what is the difference between behavior and action?
	
	
	
	
	
	Weber´s action theory would take into consideration the way someone was raised, the family relationships, the human values while behavior is meant to designate the independent significance of the human beings.
	
	 
	Weber´s behavior theory is associated with the institutionalization of authority and corporate groups while the action theory deals with the process of systematic development of modern theoretical social sciences.
	
	
	According to Weber, behavior takes account of the attitude other people have in relation to us and is thereby oriented in its course. Action is for him unmotivated.
	
	 
	Behavior is an automatic response that occurs with little thought, whereas action is the result of a conscious process in which people give meaning to their actions and the world around them.
	
	
	Weber regarded action and behavior basically as synonyms, as one was a consequence of the other. Action, in his opinion, would lead to behavior.

	Humans are not passive victims of the social structure.
	
	
	¿Society¿ does not exist as a ¿thing¿, but rather as a series of actions and interactions by individuals.
	
	
	Sociology and sociologists can only study the reality of society by looking at the micro level
	
	 
	Micro level correspond to the bigger picture: what people actually do, and what they think about what they do.
	
	
	Social life ¿makes sense¿- it is meaningful to those involved in its day-to-day creation.
