AI overview
I don't have sufficient context provided to write an accurate overview of social alienation. The context you've given ("condition in social relationships") is too minimal to establish what social alienation specifically is, why it occurs, or why it matters. I would need more detailed source material to create a factually grounded explanation without inventing information.

Article
Social alienation is a person's feeling of disconnection from a group – whether friends, family, or wider society – with which the individual has an affiliation. Such alienation has been described as "a condition in social relationships reflected by (1) a low degree of integration or common values and (2) a high degree of distance or isolation (3a) between individuals, or (3b) between an individual and a group of people in a community or work environment [enumeration added]". It is a sociological concept developed by several classical and contemporary theorists. The concept has many discipline-specific uses and can refer both to a personal psychological state (subjectively) and to a type of social relationship (objectively).
