In Parsons' sociological analysis, tradition and modernity are also one of the important arguments, whether it is to analyze individual actions or social structure. Parsons extensively absorbed the academic resources of classical sociology-Weber's theory of social action, Durkheim's thought of expressing social facts and collective will, Zimmer's theory of formal interaction, and updated Tonnis's traditional/modern dichotomy. For example, emotion, diffusion, particularity, predestination and public welfare action constitute the characteristics of traditional society, while modern society is characterized by neutrality, specificity, universality, self-motivation and particularity. Parsons established the theory of individual socialization with social value enjoyment as the core, described the modern transformation of social action with five action mode variables, expounded the structural differentiation and functional integration of social system, revealed the integration relationship between individual integration and social order, and "created the framework of contemporary sociological debate" with a giant theory.
