Résumé

This research paper focuses on identifying the contribution of the Theory of Social Action in interpreting acts of body manipulation. It highlights the significance society places on addressing this phenomenon, which has increasingly posed a threat to the well-being of individuals, particularly youth and adolescents. This vulnerability arises from their exposure to various forms of media, especially the internet, a byproduct of globalization. The study yielded several key findings, most notably the role of social institutions in keeping pace with developments across various dimensions, particularly intellectual and cultural ones. This highlights the necessity for educational institutions to be vigilant in rectifying and redirecting such influences to ensure proper social behavior and action. Such efforts are crucial as they impact not only the community as a whole but also individuals themselves.
