Weber and later his followers and like-minded people, by examined and categories of the four social actions, determined level of rationality in these actions. Iranian playwright Akbar Radi in "Staircase" play examines a part of this theory called goal-oriented action. The theory of social mobility or the ascent of a person from one social stratum to another is also explained by showing the life of Bolbol, a traveling fruit seller. In this play, the Bolbol becomes a wealthy construction contractor by resorting to theft, lying, breaking the covenant, forming a pressure group, bribery, and even unintentional murder. In the process of this social mobility, in addition to elements such as culture, alienation and the desire for promotion, and struggle and competition, phenomena such as suicide, dictatorship, migration and workers' strike are also discussed. The protagonist of the play of Akbar Radi, although he manages to improve his economic position, but due to abnormal social behaviors cannot change himself cultural position.
