Basic model of social activities implemented by communities and individuals

The concept of social activity is particular of its various interpretations, connotations and approaches in academic literature as is provided by various contexts and cultural backgrounds. Due to this, social activity and its synonymic word-formations (social activism, prosocial behavior etc.) as research subjects have been receiving various approaches and grounds, repeatedly covered by many classical and modern authors. This actualizes the development of universal foundations of the category in order to understand it in a deeper and more systematic way. In this paper, the authors develop such a model by using the system-categorical methodology and its circuitry methods (in particular, “Black Box” method) allowing to contemplate on, visualize and describe the main elements of social activity as a category and a process.
