Read moreThe whole globe is now suffering the biggest economic crisis since World War II, which is shaking the structures of the capitalist system as a way to progress. Actually, our society won´t be the same. If our society wanted to get over it, solidarity would be the key word to resolve it, as a main social action policy. In this way, social action is the answer of every government to resolve all the effects caused by this economic tsunami. Talking about social action is to talk about everything we worry about as a society: teaching, health system, culture, housing, environment, consumption, social security, free time etc. Therefore, in this essay, we are going to talk about this matter, social action. When we were writing it, we had two main objectives. Firstly, to simplify what the meaning of social action is, even when we know how tough this accomplishment is because as we have already said there are a lot of different subjects involved in this concept. Secondly, to pick up all the international, national, and even regional laws about this matter. Accordingly, to make things easier to understand, we have divided this essay into five points: an historic perspective of social action, current legislative systems, social services, different kinds of social grants and how to encourage private initiative. To sum up, we want to stress that all opinions written in this essay are based on fact and never our opinions.
