To understand what social relations are, you first need to understand what society is.
What is understood by the word "society"
Speaking in a broad sense, it is necessary to divide the existing world into two parts - Nature and Society. In this case, the person belongs to both components. A society is an association of people who interact and are closely dependent on each other. In a narrower sense, a society is a group of people that occupies a certain territory, has a common culture and considers itself as an independent entity. Moreover, there are at least four different definitions that reflect different meanings of the concept of society.
The first option is connected with the historical stages of human development. So, for example, there was a primitive society, a feudal society. Society is also called the inhabitants of a particular country. The third option is to unite in a certain group of people connected by any interests, for example, the "Society for CombatingCorruption" or "Society of Young Talents". The final, fourth option can be called a circle of people who have a certain position in life or origin. Thus, the poor are attributed to a lower society, the rich to a higher one. Let's turn to social relations and consider this concept.
Public relations
Now we can consider what social relations are. Any relationship is the interdependence of the elements included in a particular system. Speaking about social relations, they understand the interconnection and dependence of all its units that belong to a particular society, which arise in the process of people's life. And the units here are not a single person, but a large group.
What are social relations
You can give examples of social relations, knowing what spheres of life are affected by these very social relations. So, the main areas of human life are:
- Economy.
- Politics.
- Social sphere.
- Spirit realm.
Each of them has its own specific differences associated with the type of activity in a particular area, and every person who is more or less oriented in life will be able to give examples. There are many social relations, and they are found almost at every turn. Tentatively, you can consider some options that can be enrolled in publicrelationships. So, what are examples of social relationships in life?
Spheres of public relations
- Politics. Relations in the political sphere consist in holding elections, demonstrations, rallies, negotiations. Even revolutions refer to social relations.
- Relations in the social sphere include the relations of different age groups, ethnic groups, professional. This also includes social protection, educational conditions, the possibility of treatment and the he althcare system as a whole, as well as household and family relations.
- To give examples of social relations in the economic sphere, you need to understand that all the activities of society are tied here, which is aimed at the production of material goods.
- There are a lot of terms related to the spiritual realm, such as art, morality, religion, philosophy.
Each person cannot belong to only one society, to one group. He is certainly a member of several organizations. So, for example, he can be a member of a certain group in the nation, be in the middle class in terms of living standards, while being a member of the labor collective and participating in the volunteer movement. Therefore, society itself is a collective, consisting of many different collectives. And all the connections that arise between different groups and collectives of society are social relations. Let's try to give examples of social relations, for example, in the political sphere.
Rally as a phenomenon of public relations
This is a type of gathering when people go to a certain place en masse in support or protest about some current issue in the life of society. That is, what are public relations during rallies? This is, first of all, a kind of society of people who gathered and left, united by a common idea, in order to convey their idea to the government or a certain representative.
This is a kind of relationship between the two groups, the result of which should be the solution of the issue put forward by the public rally group. So, for example, a rally was planned in the city of Moscow by fans of the Moscow "Torpedo", who were against the construction of the stadium of the same name. The venue was the square in front of the city hall. The fans, united in society under a common idea, had to express their opinion and protest to the mayor of the capital and his subordinates.
