A social relation is the fundamental unit of analysis within the social sciences, and describes any voluntary or involuntary interpersonal relationship between two or more conspecifics within and/or between groups. The group can be a language or kinship group, a social institution or organization, an economic class, a nation, or gender. Social relations are derived from human behavioral ecology, and, as an aggregate, form a coherent social structure whose constituent parts are best understood relative to each other and to the social ecosystem as a whole.

Alienation (property Law)
In property law, alienation is the voluntary act of an owner of some property to convey or transfer the property to another. Alienability is the quality of being alienable, i.e., the capacity for a piece of property or a property right to be sold or otherwise transferred from one party to another. Most property is alienable, but some may be subject to restraints on alienation. Some objects are now regarded as ineligible for becoming property and thus termed inalienable, such as people and body parts. Aboriginal title is one example of inalienability (save to the Crown) in common law jurisdictions. A similar concept is '' non-transferability'', such as tickets. Rights commonly described as a '' licence'' or permit are generally only personal and are not assignable. However, they are alienable in the sense that they can generally be surrendered. In England under the feudal system, land was generally transferred by subinfeudation, and alienation required license from the ov ...
