in whatever state was not in any society, no matter what period of development do not worry, it is always a wide variety of complex system interactions, actors which serves people.This single individual actions do not exhaust the range of these interactions, because the person in the course of their social life creates or were members of a variety of human societies - social groups.Coming in a variety of relationships with other people, it is an objective carrier of the values of cultural elements, behaviors that are accepted in these communities.Thus, people in the system of social relations is not only, as an individual, but also the social group, community, of which he is a member.The study of this phenomenon is the subject of many branches of science.
Considering that a person in the system of social relations, philosophy focuses usually on global questions of existence: Who is this man for what he is in this world, what is his future and the past, and so on.
sociological consideration involves the study of more practical issues.It deals with the problems of this order: what is a man in the system of social relations, what is the structure of society, as the environment within which the interactions occur.Sociology proceeds from the seemingly paradoxical fact that the human community, which is present on the planet, being finite in number, can create almost infinite variety of communities, a variety of features and specifications.This sociological view suggests that if these communities themselves, as well as individuals, their components, it is sufficient lockable (explicative), here it is impossible to say nothing about the relations that develop between people.By the way, this fact is noted in the time Auguste Comte - the founder of sociology as a science, which is in the "positive philosophy" argued that these relations are latent, they are incorporeal, immaterial.Offering to make human interaction subject of a separate science, Comte gave impetus to the emergence of a number of approaches, scientific schools and concepts that treated the issue that is a person in the system of social relations.
Marxism interpreted the problem only in a materialistic way, claiming that society is formed not by individuals as such, and their interactions and relations, first of all - economic.The same understanding of society and of man's place in it is found in more modern theories.For example, approximately the same position came the great American sociologist Pitirim Sorokin, when formulating his theory of social stratification, which is now a classic and one of the main treatments in modern society.
To clarify the problems posed in the title of the article, you must, first of all, an understanding of the category of "social relations", "social communication".Some scholars see it as a kind of elementary particle of society, put on a par with the categories of "social subject", "social activities".And others, form the basis of categorical apparatus of social science.
Another look at the problem suggests considering social relationship in two senses.In the narrow - when it comes to the relationship of specific social communities, as a rule - large social groups and communities.In a broad sense, the social relationship is any relationship that may exist between people in the course of their many activities.Based on this approach, the person in the social connections, being included in each of the interacting groups in this system acts as a universal upbuilding beginning with the subject-co-actor.
Society, being the most complex system of interactions confronts science as a critical issue, the problem of how to classify this variety of relationships, whether it is possible to build one any hierarchical model of what the scenario of typological human action and so on.
It should be recognized that to date has not produced a single methodological approach to clarify the question, what the people in the system of social relations, what are the trends in his position in the system.
materialists analyze this aspect exclusively from the standpoint of the materialist view.Non-materialistic approach, treating a person's position in the public relations, tied for the most important ranking factors spiritual properties.Such distribution of social relations in the spiritual and material - too, can say very well.Therefore today before science is primarily a methodological challenge - to find adequate and socially relevant criteria for the classification of all available varieties of social relations.Because only this approach will make it possible significantly to examine the role and place of man in the life of the various spheres of society.
