It would seem that the word "action" has a fairly understandable meaning. In a literal translation from English, action means "action." Everything that is called by this word is characterized by the presence of unstoppable energy, swiftness, rapid activity of the participants, and the action event itself is the center of activity.
Action movie
Most often, the concept of action is found in the description of the genre of cinema, which took shape in the 70s of the 20th century in the United States, where, one after the other, films about super-heroes that single-handedly defeated the enemy and saved the world came out on a wide screen. Films with the postscript "action" are still mostly fighters, less often a completely different movie - historical, detective.
A characteristic feature of the genre: a constant change of action, endless adventures and chases, skirmishes and fights. Very dynamic and exciting stories relate specifically to the genre of action.
Action games
At first a movie appeared, and then, like such films, computer games began to be created. On the one hand, almost all games in which there is competition can be attributed to this genre, since their creators at the development stage are trying to ensure that the game is breathtaking for the player, captivated by the event.
The platform for creating such a game can be absolutely any. The player in action games requires a large concentration of attention in order to keep up with the often changing plot and situation, to have a quick reaction and the ability to respond with lightning speed to an emerging threat. In a word, it won’t be boring with such a game, but you won’t be able to relax.
Action painting
In the middle of the 20th century, a direction of painting appeared in which the artist’s personality and style are characteristically reflected. Most often, this is an arbitrary display of a momentary artistic impulse, which is displayed in the brush lines on the canvas - this is also a manifestation of action, but in fine art.
Action psychology
In psychology, the word action refers to any action that leads to active behavior in certain situations. The best example is the behavior of a small child. He does not think over his actions, but acts according to what he feels at the given moment.
