What is the difference between social action and social fact?

Social facts are cultural norms and values. Social action is an act that takes others' actions and reactions into account. For example, going to your brother's wedding even though you don't like the bride could be in response to social facts, if it's just expected by society that you will do so, or it could be a social action, if you're going just to keep your mom from getting upset.


What is social justice as part of social order?

Social Justice generally refers to justice being practiced in a society without question of race, colour or wealth. IN a Social order their needs to be stability for the social order to exist. For example, the UNited States has lasted over 226 years as a nation because of the institutions which protect social justice within the social order. Those who are a different color , or race or are poor, have access to social justice (fair court system, social assistance in the form of welfare if necessary for example) and this has been codified (made legal) in the system by laws which have become part of the institutions (legal expectations for example) over the years. Those countries or situations (for example, slavery was against social justice) which work against providing proper fair social justice have difficulty maintaining the social order, and frequently, in history, have met with rebellion or revolution on occasion. Now, the fact that there is social justice which contributes to the existing and future social order DOESN't mean everyone is happy or agrees. IN fact, as part of a functioning democracy, the people often disagree as to whether the social order is being properly served by the existing social justice in the country. Be that as it may, the society which is able to be flexible enough to both allow protest and at the same time have an existing and well functioning social justice system which allows such protest, is one which has shown the stability necessary to function within a democratic social order. The UNited States, Canada, Great Britain, and several others, are examples of nations which have instituted social order within a successful social justice paradigm (structure or access to rights under the law).


What is the idea that the social world guides your actions and life choices just as the seasons influence activities and choice of clothing?

This idea is known as social determinism, which suggests that our behaviors and decisions are influenced by societal norms, expectations, and structures in a way similar to how the seasons shape our activities and clothing choices. It highlights the impact of social influences on individual behavior and the importance of understanding the broader social context in shaping our lives.
