A
Unlike structural theories, action theories are micro-level approaches that see society as constructed by members’ interactions and meanings. Weber’s social action theory believes social behaviour should be understood through the level of cause and the level of meaning.

Phenomenology and ethnomethodology see society as an inter-subjective reality created out of members typifications or common sense understanding
