If social mobility is thought from the structural functionalist liberal view, one will observe individuals responsible of their own destiny, of both their "successes" and their "failures", they are accounted for their destiny justified by judicial equality, inequality is a product of unequal efforts and/or personal motivations, the place of the former is reaffirmed and the inequality of classes is legitimized.
Si la movilidad social es pensada desde la visión liberal estructural funcionalista, se observan individuos responsables de sus destinos, tanto de "éxitos" como de "fracasos", se responsabiliza a los últimos por su destino justificado en la igualdad jurídica, la desigualdad es producto de desiguales esfuerzos y/o motivaciones personales, se reafirma el lugar de los primeros y se legitima la desigualdad de clases.
