THE ARGENTINE SOCIETY IN THE '90s: CRISIS OF SOCIALIZATION

INTRODUCTION

The Argentine crisis of the '90s occurred within the framework of the world crisis that originated in the early '70s.

The subject of this article is the crisis of socialization and of the State-society relationship.

1. Society and social life

According to Berger and Luckman, society exists as an objective reality, independent of the will of the individuals that form it, and as a subjective reality, with individuals interacting, communicating, interpreting. In this last sense, when speaking of LIFE IN SOCIETY, it implies that ITS MEMBERS SHARE MEANINGS, a common sense (that is, shared) of reality, which is called SOCIALIZATION.

Socialization has the objective that INDIVIDUALS INTERNALIZE, make their own, the values, customs and meanings of the society in which they live, AND THAT THEY ASSUME AN IDENTITY, a place in that reality. Each society has a specific identity, a particular culture.

All these elements allow us to speak of a SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION OF REALITY.

For functionalism (conservative sociology), individuals must be integrated into the order, respecting hierarchies, while Marxism (revolutionary sociology) says that behind the order the domination of some over others is hidden, and proposes the destruction of that order whom he considers unjust, oppressive and exploitative.

The LAWS of the State impose a certain order, which is neither neutral nor egalitarian, because its objective is to reproduce certain social relations, where some occupy a privileged position. However, individuals for various reasons obey, giving legitimacy to that order. Weber argued that the type of rational-legal domination is one where laws are obeyed.

In addition to laws, the order of domination is based on IDEOLOGY, that is, a discourse that disguises or covers up social inequalities.

In ARGENTINA there is a profound CRISIS OF THE STATE, which manifests itself in different areas: the increasingly inefficient bureaucracy, the increasingly less effective law, etc.

STATE CRISIS: WHEN THE STATE DOES NOT REPRESENT THE COMMON GOOD AND, THEREFORE, DOES NOT GUARANTEE CITIZENSHIP

BY CITIZENSHIP SHOULD be understood the recognition by the State of the equality of all individuals. What has happened in recent times is a POLITICAL CITIZENSHIP (we are all
