Figure C6h.3 Indebtedness view on life in a community

Figure C6h.3 points out the indebtedness problem; it is about the state of being indebted.

It can be an obligation to pay money to another party, or it can be gratitude or recognition to another for help or favors. It can also mean the total of a person's debts.

The most critical is household indebtedness (conditions of owing money, or the amount of money owed when indebtedness reaches a record level).

Also, gratitude can burden the service performed but not paid for.

A specific example comes from a letter from the Academy, prepared by Hiroaki Diamond "Towards a debt for volunteering after a disaster." His model represents a matrix of four strategies: 

1. Externalizing (in the sociological sense, it is a process in which a person becomes dependent on the environment, he has created himself).

2. Volunteer amateurism (instead of acting as a mental health professional, they work as an amateur).

3. Postponement of repayment; (it means easing the asymmetry of the "Provider - Beneficiary" relationship with the promise to continue with such services in other disasters).

4. Free and equal conditions (if volunteers cannot realize a free and similar social structure posited by mode D, they cannot discuss and critique the other three modes).

Although the example comes from a specific Japanese cultural environment, the algorithm's processes are visible, and the AFT steps are feasible.
