Prestige and Pathos as Life Strategies of Societal Groups [Mass Media Analysis]

Prestige & pathos are interpreted by the author both as convertible phenomena with a single purpose of raising life chances for certain social & economic groups. There is a noticeable divergence of principal bases between prestigious & nonprestigious groups. A nonprestigious group might be socially meaningful while a prestigious group might happen to be denied this social meaning. Elements of group pathos are presented as priority professional identity & a martyrdom phenomenon. Adapted from the source document.
