NEET has become one of the most remarkable icons among the society nowadays. If you do not know what it means then you are really out. NEET stands for Not currently engaged in Employment, Education or Training. The term was first used in the United Kingdom, soon followed by gradually use in other countries such as Japan, China.
In fact, a lot of the NEETS have higher level of knowledge and some may also be postgraduates or master students. So why do those people ending up being a NEET with such high degrees? Various social factors and issues lie beneath. Some NEETS have no trouble finding a job but instead give up on the job opportunities thanks to their parents. In these cases, young people have good family conditions; parents are very generous about providing basic necessities and gives away pocket money more than needed. While the parents are spoiling their child, young people take it as a granted thing and think it is ok not to do anything because they can always lean on their parents for it. Young people living under that kind of roof are LUCKY u might think…However the OVER care from the parents will lead their children to poor, low self-reliance and the fact that they are unable to adapt the society. Before the birth of the child, parents attempts to design goals and objectives for children and later send them to remedial classes against their wishes. They accompany the children to learn together, play the monitoring, supervision role and as a result, children are lack of independent problem-solving ability. Over time, they will hardly have their OWN reactions and ways of thinking towards things. When the child graduate, parents have completed the initial goal while finding their children being lost with no target to work towards and the fact that they do not know how to seek help in workplaces. Now are parents really helping their children to create a better future by doing so or…?

This is an interesting and serious topic. That is quite puzzling problem. Normally, highly educated should be dominant in the social competition, but for some people this seems become their hindrance of life development. Who’s responsible is it? In some senses, it might be their parents or society. However, the main reasons should be found from themselves. Firstly, has a healthy attitude is the key. Many of them are conceited. When they could not realize their aspirations they will easily choose to opt out. Furthermore, high-education does not equal high-capacity, adapting is very important in the social competition. Normally, some of them do not have enough adaptability.

ReplyDeleteI like the topic of your blog very much.Because I'm a mother of two children, it really arouses my attention and interest. I agree with you that parents are the absolute important roles in the growth of their children. if "parents are very generous" to their children, that don't mean they love them, on the contrary, they are ruining the furture of them. As your blog says that many NEERS are produced in the wealthy families, the parents in these families don't lack of money and knowledge, but they lack of the responsibility to patiently aid their children to establish the healthy personalities.
ReplyDeleteHi there, i like your blog and it is very true. You see it all the time in society today how parents are 'babying' their children so they wont learn to stand on their own two feet in the real world. One thing I would like to point out is just a few syntax erros. One in the first paragraph: "amongthe society" you can take out the word 'the'. And also where you say what NEET stands for the words should all start with capital letters eg. Not Currently Engaged in Employment. One last thing in your introduction which coul be fixed is you last line could go like this: soon followed by the gradual use of other countires such as Japan and China instead of "soon followed by gradually use in other countries such as Japan, China." as that doesn't sound quite right. Just little improvements like this to your blog will deffinatly help you obtain a higher mark. Overall though your blog was very informative and I found it very interesting as I can relate to this due to having a 2 and a half year old cousin who is treated just like a NEET>
ReplyDeleteThis topic really interests me. I am a Brownie leader to young girls. So i can definitly relate to it. Some girls at the age of 7-8 can not even butter their own toast! I hadn't actually heard about NEET's before this, but I was aware of the problem. Again personally, I don't think that the teachers are to blame. People are taught how to act, how to think etc. from birth. It's too late to start teaching them how to strive for achievement when they have practically finished school.I enjoyed reading your blog :)
