Social action is a method of social work that aims to mobilize groups and bring about structural changes in social systems to promote social justice and empowerment. It uses strategies like propaganda and social legislation. The objectives of social action include preventing needs, improving conditions for large groups, and redistributing power and resources. Principles of social action include building credibility, legitimizing goals, dramatizing issues, using multiple strategies like education and power, taking a dual approach of building counter-systems, and implementing various economic, social, and political programs. The process involves defining needs, planning action, mobilizing resources, implementing programs, and evaluating outcomes.

Task Force Project—Applying Theory
In
Module 1
, you began your work as the head of the Maternal, Infant, and Reproductive Health Task Force in Centervale. You did this by learning more about adolescent pregnancy and the behavioral, cultural, and environmental risk factors associated with this health issue. In this assignment, your attention turns to community issues. Your task force has representatives from several community organizations. You know that in addition to your focus on an individual-level change, you will need to provide the group with information about community-level change to impact the adolescent pregnancy issue in Centervale.
Directions:
Read the editorial entitled “Community-based Intervention” in which the authors recommend four typologies or approaches to community-based projects (McLeroy, Norton, Kegler, Burdine, & Sumaya, 2003). Consider how each of these typologies might be applicable to adolescent pregnancy prevention in Centervale.
Download and review the “Demographic Background on Centervale.”
Prepare a memo for the task force on the following:
Compare and contrast the four categories of community-based interventions.
Select two typologies to present as options to the task force and explain in detail how these can be applied.
Identify one typology for recommendation, giving reasons in support.
Your final product will be in a MS Word document of approximately 3–4 pages. You should utilize at least 3 scholarly sources beyond the course readings in your research. Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

McLeroy et al examine the four categories of community-based projects: community as setting, community as target, community as agent, and community as resource. The goal of community-based programs is to carefully work with naturally occurring units of solution as our units of practice. This necessitates a careful assessment of community structures and processes of any intervention.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

2. SOCIAL ACTION
Social Action is one of the most
controversial methods of social work practice
that has brought about a lot of debate
among the social work practitioners as it
addresses and uses the conflict present in
social system to realize the goal of social
justice and empowerment.
Social Action has been used to signify a
wide range of primarily voluntary initiative to
bring out change in social systems,
processes and even structure
3. MEANING
Social action is a method of social work used for
mobilizing masses in order to bring about structural
changes in the social system or to prevent adverse
changes.
In the Indian context, Social action is taken as a
transformational practice to meet the objective of
promoting well-being by bringing change in the
arrangements in social system that lead to
inequality and injustice, preventing people from
realizing their full potential as self-determining
agents.
Mary Richmond was the first social worker to use the
word ‘social action’ in 1922.
4. DEFINITION
MARY RICHMOND has defined social action as
“mass betterment through propaganda and social
legislation”. This definition stresses on improving
the condition of huge sections of population as
an aim of social action with propaganda and
social legislations as main strategies.
BALDWIN (1966) defines social action as “an
organized effort to change social and economic
institutions as distinguished from social work or
social service, the fields which do not
characteristically cover essential changes in
established institutions.
5. OBJECTIVES
Mishra (1992) has identified following goals of social
action:
O Prevention of needs
O Solution of mass problems
O Improvement in mass conditions
O Influencing institutions, policies and practices
O Introduction of new mechanisms or programmes
O Redistribution of power and resources
O Decision-making
O Effect on thought and action structure
O Improvement in health, education and welfare
6. PRINCIPLES
Considering Gandhian principle of mobilization as
a typical example of the direct mobilization model
of social action Britto (1984) brings out the
following principles of social action:
O Principle of Credibility Building
O Principle of Legitimization
O Principle of Dramatization
O Principle of Multiple Strategies
O Principle of Dual Approach
O Principle of Manifold Programmes
7. PRINCIPLE OF CREDIBILITY BUILDING
It is the task of creating public image of leadership, the
organization and the participants of the movement as
champions of justice, rectitude and truth.
It helps in securing due recognition from the opponent, the
reference- public and the peripheral participants of the
movement.
Credibility can be built through one or many of the following
ways:
Gestures of goodwill towards the opponent
Example setting
Selection of typical, urgently felt problems for struggles
Success
8. PRINCIPLE OF LEGITIMIZATION
Legitimization is the process of convincing the target
group and the general public that the movement-
objectives are morally right.
Leaders of the movement might use theological,
philosophical, legal-technical, public opinion paths to
establish the tenability of the movement’s objectives.
Legitimization is a continuous process.Following are the
three approaches to legitimization:
Theological and religious approach
Moral approach
Legal and technical approach
9. PRINCIPLE OF DRAMATIZATION
Dramatization is the principle of mass mobilisation by
which the leaders of a movement galvanize the population
into action by emotional appeals to heroism, sensational
news- management, novel procedures, pungent slogans and
such other techniques.
Almost every leader mobilising the masses, uses this principle
of dramatization. The following are the techniques:
Use of songs
Powerful speeches
Role of women
Boycott
Slogans
10. PRINCIPLE OF MULTIPLE STRATEGIES:
There are two basic approaches to development:
conflictual and non- conflictual. Taking the main
thrust of a programme, one can classify it as political,
economic or social.
The basket principle indicates the adoption of a
multiple strategy, using combined approaches and also
a combination of different types of programmes.
Zeltman and Duncan have identified four development
strategies from their experience of community
development. These have been framed for use in social
action. They are:
Educational strategy
Persuasive strategy
Facilitative strategy
Power strategy
11. PRINCIPLE OF DUAL APPROACH
Any activist has to build counter-systems or revive
some unused system, which is thought to be beneficial
to the mobilized public on a self-help basis without
involving the opponent.
This is a natural requirement consequent upon the
attempt to destroy the system
established/maintained by the opponents.
This cooperative effort indicates that Gandhians
adopted or attempted to a dual approach in their
mobilization.
12. PRINCIPLE OF MANIFOLD PROGRAMMES
This principle means developing a variety of
programmes with the ultimate objective of mass
mobilization. These can be broadly categorized into
three parts:
Economic Programs
Social Programs
Political Programs
13. The scope of social action is very vast and
it is one of the most apt methods of social
work practice even in today’s context as the
approach of social work practice has shifted
from charity to empowerment, the scope of
social work has expanded enormously.
The innovative approaches, participatory
techniques, outreach, and holistic thinking are
critically important in creating a better world,
which is indeed the vision of social work
profession.
14. It is important to understand the systems from
the perspective of social work intervention
which determines the scope of Social Action.
They are:
Change Agent System
Client System
Target System
Action System
15. PROCESS
The following steps forms part of Social Action. They are:
O The Initiating set
O The Legitimizers
O The Diffusion set
O Defining the need
O Commitment to action
O Goals
O Means
O Plan for action
O Mobilizing and organizing resources
O Launching the program
O Carrying out the program
O Final evaluation
16. CONCLUSION
Thus it can be understood that the SOCIAL
ACTION is effective method to involve people to
analyse, understand and solve their own problem
with or without external assistance .
