social relationships - a relationship of legal and regulatory order that develop between different social and professional groups.The subject of such relations are usually the collective or individual interests imposed by the collective will (with respect to the opposing group), as well as an economic or symbolic resource, the right to the possession of which claim all opponents.In this regard, the term "social" appears synonymous with "public" and serves as an integral symbol throughout the depth of interactions, relationships and interdependencies that exist in society.However, the used and narrow meaning of this phrase.In this case, social relations - a relationship connected with the struggle of individuals or groups for the right to hold certain positions in society (the so-called "social status") and, of course, material, symbolic and economic resources which are attached to this status.
In principle, if we talk about any relationship, it refers to relationships formed with respect to any object or an abstract concept.In this sense, social relations - is the subject of agreement between all interested parties.Consider this example of how labor relations in the workplace.The employer takes on a certain position of an employee by offering him a certain amount of permanent jobs, the conditions that accompany the work, and payment as the economic remuneration.The employee, in turn, agrees to all the terms offered, including the obligation to produce the required amount of product.In addition, the employee shall adopt rules of behavior in the community and the place (social status), which it supplied with the post.The result is a system of social relationships (in the case of production), which has existed for a long time indefinitely in a limited physical space.Of course, any social system is modified and perfected, it becomes more complicated, but essentially remains unchanged and stable, of course, if there is no social conflict.
But what happens if such a conflict does arise?We must remember that social relations - is in general the relations developing with respect to the property.In the role of the latter can act as a completely tangible objects (land, building, plant, portal), as well as abstract concepts (power, domination, information).Conflict arises when the previous agreements on the rights of property lose their legal, moral or religious significance, management and legal and regulatory status as lost.No one wants to live by the old rules, but the new has not yet been established, much less accepted by all parties to the social contract.The result is not only a revision of the rules of the game (in our case - the adoption of the new edition of the Constitution or other statutory instrument), but also a change of elites (the directors), which already comes with its own rules and requirements for the hired staff.
But back to our definition.Social relations - is broadly public relations.That is, we are talking about economic, cultural, religious and other relations arising in the process of social organization.Any spheres of life is permeated by the theme of sociality.This is due not only to the fact that people originally lived in a particular social environment, learns his habits, imposing their views, takes someone else's, that is included in the process of socialization.But he realizes that he can not live outside of society on a desert island.Whether he wants to or not, he is forced to adopt common rules, otherwise society "throw" him from his circle of being ostracized.No wonder we are talking about the social organization itself.According to some sociologists, it is society that is the most rigidly aligned corporation with vertically-integrated control system.The development of social relations in such an organization is only possible through submission suggested social practices.Choosing if possible, but only in case of change of the social partners: the transition to another corporation, moving to a different city or a complete break any links with the former personal environment.
