Is an instinctive action an action?
Yes, an instinctive action is still considered an action. Instinctive actions are automatic, involuntary responses to stimuli, and they are performed without conscious thought. However, they still involve a physical movement or response, which meets the definition of an action. Therefore, even though instinctive actions are not consciously chosen, they are still considered actions.

How does educational action differ from social action?
Educational action focuses on the process of teaching and learning, with the goal of imparting knowledge and skills to individuals. It is often structured and guided by educational institutions and professionals. On the other hand, social action aims to bring about change in society by addressing social issues and advocating for social justice. It is often driven by grassroots movements and community organizing, and may involve a wider range of stakeholders. While educational action may contribute to social change, social action is more directly focused on addressing systemic issues and promoting social transformation.

What is an internal action and a framing action?
An internal action is an action taken by an individual or group that is not visible to others, such as changing one's mindset or attitude.

On the other hand, a framing action is a deliberate choice made by an individual or group to shape how a situation is perceived by others. It involves presenting information or events in a particular way to influence how they are interpreted. Both internal and framing actions play a role in shaping outcomes and interactions in various contexts.

What is the difference between social action and political action?

On the other hand, political action involves actions taken to influence government policies, laws, or decisions through activities like voting, lobbying, or running for office.
