Habits and reflection are considered fundamental driving forces of human agency. How they affect our behavior depends on the complex relationships between structure and agent. This article analyzes the role of habits and reflection from the individual, based on Searle approaches on Intentional mental states. The first part analyzes Archer’s model apropos the debate agency/structure, and, the following section concerns the agency, taking into account the Intentional mental states. If habits and reflection, as Archer argues, depend on the morphostasis and societal morphogenesis, such processes must be manifested in consciousness somehow. This research argues that analysis of consciousness and Intentional states allow understanding the influence of the social order over the individual, specifically from beliefs and its satisfaction condition.
