The social sphere of society is something non-one-sided, something that can be understood only by studying in detail. There is still debate about its nature.
Of course, the social sphere of society consists of large social groups, as well as the relations arising between these groups. Groups are not only labor collectives and classes, but also nations, peoples and so on. All of humanity is one big social community.
The social sphere is nothing more than the sphere of reproduction, as well as production. Man realizes himself in it, not only as a spiritual and social being, but also, of course, biological. The social sphere is what makes us educate, work. We receive the necessary medical care, we have a house that meets certain standards and is suitable for living. For example, the political sphere of society is also important. However, its importance can in no way be higher than the importance of the social sphere, since it is the basis of order and general well-being.
People are unequal in education, ability and so on. If one screw falls out of an important mechanism, will it really just be able to pick one in its place? Yes, it all depends on the situation, as well as on whether there is anything to choose from. It is the same with people: society seeks to recreate those who could instantly master any kind of activity.
People are unequal not only in ability, but also in social status. The differences in this case are as follows:
- family;
- age and gender;
- class.
Class attributes of a person are usually associated with property. Property is that which a person owns, that which is his capital. Class stratification has been taking place since ancient times, and there is no escape from it.
Means of production - this is what the relations of ownership are taking shape. Those material goods that are produced with their help - this is what should satisfy the needs of people. Of course, someone gets more of them, and someone less.
In ancient times, castes were the basis of stratification. The point is that some groups of people had certain privileges, while others did not have them. These privileges were inherited.
Social inequality can be observed in the society of almost any country. Many great politicians and thinkers have offered many options for eliminating it. Some of them suggested opening all roads to a person so that he would choose his own and achieve the necessary benefits, while others argued that it was necessary to give everyone a standard set of benefits.
People are also unequal in terms of age and gender. Yes, indeed, young people, children, pensioners and others live differently, engage in different activities, perform different social functions, and so on. It all depends on the degree of independence, a predisposition to something and so on. Women were often infringed upon; they were not allowed to engage in certain activities. Today their situation is better, but discrimination is still observed.
A person must be protected, regardless of gender and age. Social protection is what guarantees the well-being of everyone.
The family is a small social group. In the social structure of society, she always had a special place. What kind of relationship is there? This is a biosocial relationship between spouses, necessary for the reproduction of the genus. Relations within the family are formed depending on the material and other living conditions of people. No one will argue with the fact that the peasant family does not live at all like the urban family.
Society is changing under the influence of layers. The social sphere can be managed, but for this management it is necessary to be able to understand the interests and moods of not only large social groups, but also of individuals.
