Social relationships are relationshipsregulatory and regulatory order, which are formed between different social and professional groups. The subject of such relations is usually collective or personal interests, the collective will imposed (relative to the opposing group), as well as an economic or symbolic resource, the right to own which is claimed by all opponents. In this regard, the term “social” is synonymous with the concept of “social” and serves as an integral designation of the entire depth of interactions, interconnections and interdependencies that exist in society. At the same time, the narrow meaning of this phrase is used. In this case, social relations are relations connected with the struggle of individuals or groups for the right to occupy certain positions in society (the so-called “social status”) and, of course, the material, symbolic and economic resources that are attached to this status.
Basically, if we are talking about anyrelations, we mean relations that are formed with respect to some object or abstract concept. In this sense, social relations is the subject matter of the contract between all interested parties. Consider an example of labor relations in the workplace. The employer takes on a certain position of an employee, offering him a certain amount of permanent work, the conditions accompanying this work, and payment as an economic remuneration for work. The employee, in turn, agrees to all the proposed conditions, including the obligation to produce the required volume of products. In addition, the employee accepts the rules of behavior in the team and the place (social status), which is given to him along with the position. As a result, a system of social relations (in this case, production) arises, which exists for an indefinitely long time in a limited physical space. Of course, any social system is modified and improved, it becomes more complex, but in fact remains unchanged and stable, of course, if no social conflicts arise.
And what happens if such a conflict is stillarises? It must be remembered that social relations are, in general, relations that take shape in relation to property. The latter can be both tangible objects (land, house, factory, Internet portal), and abstract concepts (power, domination, information). Conflict arises when previous agreements on property rights lose their legal, moral or even religious significance, and the functions of governance and regulatory status are also lost. No one wants to live by the old rules, but the new ones have not yet been created, and all the more are recognized by all the participants in the social contract. As a result, there is not only a revision of the rules of the game (in our case, the adoption of a new edition of the Charter or another statutory document), but also a change of elite (directors' corps), which comes with its own rules and requirements for hired personnel.
However, let us return to our definition.Social relations are in a broad sense social relations. That is, we are talking about economic, cultural, religious and other relations that have arisen in the process of forming the social organization of society. Any sphere of his life activity is permeated with the theme of sociality. This is due not only to the fact that a person initially lives in a particular social environment, learns his habits, imposes his views, accepts others, that is, is included in the process of socialization. But he realizes that he cannot live outside society on a desert island. Whether he wants to or not, he is forced to accept the general rules, otherwise the society will “throw him out” from his circle, turn him into a pariah. No wonder we are now talking about social organization as such. According to some sociologists, it is society that represents the most rigidly built corporation using a vertically integrated management system. The development of social relations in such an organization is possible only due to the subordination of the proposed social practices. The choice, if possible, is only in case of a change in social partners: when moving to another corporation, moving to another city or completely breaking any ties with the former personal environment.
