Bhaskar's Transformational Model of Social Action

Bhaskar's Transformational Model of Social Action suggests that social change arises when individuals critically reflect on their circumstances, question existing norms, and reimagine new possibilities. It emphasizes that social actions are not just responses to external conditions but are influenced by people’s capacity for critical awareness, which can lead to transformative shifts in society. In essence, it highlights the dynamic process where consciousness and agency interact to foster meaningful change, moving beyond mere reproduction of social patterns toward intentional transformation driven by informed and reflective action.
