KASAB: Behaviors

There are many definitions and variations of the word behavior. In this circumstance, we will focus on behavior as social behavior. In a sociological hierarchy, social behavior precedes social action. Social Behavior is intended to influence somebody to do or think something. Further along this ascending scale of behaviors are social interaction and social relationships. Social behavior, put another way, is a process of communicating.
