briefly described each of the archetypes defined by Gabriel Kessler:
· Meritocrats. are professionals, skilled workers, small traders and industrialists, of either sex and more than forty-five years. The center of the experience of this group is the failure of a strategy for social advancement to which they had devoted all his efforts. They live in the chasm created by the sacrifices made and the little they have gained in return. According to the worldview of these actors, and has neither the chosen path, or the intensity of the sacrifices made, everything is doomed to failure. Succeed in this society only those who use the means appropriate to the new rules, corruption, lever arrangement. This group believes that it is they who are wrong, but do not see another way out, any adjustment would be to win the other grounds: his pride lies in not ever having departed from the correct path. In this respect their behavior are limited by beliefs and the illusion of being yet included in a group membership past.
· Solidarity. Within this group the paradigmatic case is the public official. Like the previous group there is an expectation of progress is not met, but unlike a collective promise was broken as it is lived collectively. These individuals belonged to the same group for a long time, which allowed a collective elaboration of the experience of falling. Besides predation wage, face the threat of unemployment and the stigma of public employees. The solidarity bring all resource group relationships. The control of the situation means strengthening group. The group allows the construction of meaning of the situation.
· Fighters. case par excellence are the self-employed, for example. taxi drivers, traders. The most obvious concept of worldview is that everyone should get along as it can, without help from anyone. Beyond the family does not have channels to fall back. To survive, they struggle. The struggle for survival absorbs all their energies. To meet this new challenge focuses on the livelihood, forgetting to plan ahead and what is not urgent. On the basis of their worldview is the belief of an Argentine company and individual selfish preclude any national project.
· Encapsulated . The typical case is the structural expobre in the past managed to escape from poverty and that because of the crisis falls back on her. For this subject insecurity is pervasive, the home is the strength to a dangerous outside world. The dangers looming over the children mainly, on which the checks should be maximized. As the wrestlers limit their world to try to restore control. But if you control for these time-concentration is mainly in the short term, it encapsulated for space-retreat to the confines of the home. In this group fatalism, risk imprisonment and feed back.
· Converts. is new poor who lived very traumatic falls. This leads to a change in values, fail to appreciate the material to prioritize family unity, welfare, emotional and spiritual progress. This transformation has been the result of a conscious effort to mitigate the damage of the crisis.
· Pragmatists. youth are more than thirty years entering adulthood in the process of impoverishment, have a university or tertiary education. For this individual goals and expectations are defined as flexible and adaptable to circumstances. In its raw personality a pragmatic, not individualistic at all costs, and gain the greatest possible benefit from the potential social capital they possess. Their values \u200b\u200band beliefs relating to solidarity, to lend a hand, etc.
