		Parson's main interest was integrating the social and personality systems, in which he developed a clear sense of the levels of social analysis through four action systems: behavioral organism, personality, social system, and cultural system.
		It was at this time that a structural-functional theory took its place, in which "actors" were seen to be acting in a nonvolunteeristic manner, but constrained by social structures and cultures (Ritzer, 1992).
