Max Weber’s social action theory argues that human action is directed by meanings and motives. From this perspective, action can only be understood by appreciating the world view, the image or picture of the world held by its members Weber is most famous for arguing that Protestantism produced modern capitalism; later in his comparative studies he attempted to demonstrate that each of the great world religions laid down the tracks along which Europe, the Islamic world, India, and China moved in their distinctive directions. Weber, in his classic book titled as Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, underlined that the religion responds to the basic human need to understand the purpose of life. In doing so, religion must give meaning to the social world within which life occurs.
