 Dear students, now we are going to study different types of relations in network society. We can categorize the relations in particular forms when we talk about the network society and these relations are articulated relations, substantial relations, direct relations, online and offline relations, self-referential relations, interactive relations, highly organized relations, selective and exclusive relations and insecure relations. So, what is articulated relations? In network society, we select and compose our own social relationships as a matter of network individualization and these relationships are less and less imposed by the social environment and the rise of a digital culture of hyperlinked creations that will completely transform our current reality of separate creations and media practices. So, these articulated relations are based on your preferences and in this you interact with a kind of similar interest social media user so you want to develop your relationship. Substantial relations Substantial relations are all social relations in the network society that remains inextricably bound up with units and physical environments and the trend is increasing tension between the rise of networks and the characteristics of units and environments that are relatively fixed and tied to particular places, times and physical conditions. So, substantial relations are your offline relations and you carry them on social media, but you carry them in different time and space, but you have worked in one organization and now you are on two different spaces or places, so now you will maintain a substantial relationship. In the network societies, individual groups and organizations are linked in increasingly direct relations even across large distances. The social relation is the scale extension of social relations in modern society with an increasing number of weak and strong ties across large distances. So, you can create your own relationships based on your own interests and you can also have a strong and weak relationship. Online and offline relations are linked. We see that in the network society, your relationships are linked and the combination of social and media networks will create a very strong new infrastructure of society. So, your online life and offline life combination generates new types of relations and self-referential media relations. So, when you communicate, your preferences are based on your political beliefs and ideologies and you are following them on mass media and interactive media and you are developing relationships on the basis of them. Interactive relationships. You can say that the network society has a better quality of relationships as compared to the mass society and the relationships you make in a traditional society. Why? Because there are more interactions, more interactivity and you communicate through social media platforms with your colleagues, your friends. Highly organized relationships. The most important explanation for the rise of networks as a principle of organization is their combination of centralization and decentralization. In this way, the relations of the network society become better organized. Your relationships, they are more organized in the network society. Coded relations. In network society, networks of ICT in particular require all kinds of programming, codes and access barriers to prevent harmful use. This means that all relations in the network societies are in fact programmed and coded more and more. Insecure relations. The use of social media networks makes social relationships vulnerable, technically and social psychologically. Creating trust, commitment and sufficient information-rich communication is both a condition and a problem for social and media networks. And this is why we sometimes consider these relationships as insecure relationships as well.
