Talk:Relational Model Typology - Fiske

--Poor Richard (talk) 01:05, 30 October 2012 (UTC) 1) IMO non-reciprocal relations are tolerable under various consensual conditions but not ideal under any condition. Basically, reciprocity = justice or fairness, and thus maximizing reciprocity is an implicit goal in any relation. 2) re: Communal Sharing, Authority Ranking, Equality Matching, Market Pricing. IMO the model called "Communal Sharing" always contains elements of the other three relational models but in unspecified, informal, or de facto forms. Informality can be conducive to simplicity in casual relations, but when the informal relations are masked by a false communal formalism, the true nature of relations is obscured. The benefits of such obscured implicit relations often accrue to the stronger members of the collective.--Poor Richard (talk) 01:05, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
