In the contxt of Parson’s Ideal type of social action, the act of touching the feet of elders will be called as:
Traditional action
Moral action
Instrumental action
Value – oriented action
Let’s break this down:
- Traditional Action (Option 1)
- This is about doing things simply because that’s how they’ve always been done.
- Touching the feet of elders fits right here—it’s a custom, passed down for generations.
- Moral Action (Option 2)
- This would involve following a personal moral duty, maybe shaped by conscience.
- It’s not just about what’s been always done, but what you deeply believe is right or wrong.
- Instrumental (Means-End Rational) Action (Option 3)
- Here, people act to achieve a certain goal as efficiently as possible.
- Touching feet isn’t usually done to maximize a particular outcome.
- Value-Oriented (Value-Rational) Action (Option 4)
- This is acting out of a conviction or principle, even if it isn’t practical.
- It’s about values, but not necessarily tradition.
Bottom line:
When you touch an elder’s feet because it’s “just what we do around here,” that’s traditional action.
So Option 1 is the correct answer.
