Are you part of the NEET Generation?     KCLau.com

A report by the Social Exclusion Unit in UK found that at any one time, 161,000, or 9%, of the age group [16-19] are outside of education, training and work for long periods after the school-leaving age of 16.

In Japan, there is no NEET until 1997. But when many young people have become so wealthy to have to work, there is no reason for them to work. Is this a problem or a bless? But in the UK, the NEET group mainly consists of the lower socio-economic people.

What is NEET Generation?

    NEET is a government classification, first used in the United Kingdom but whose use has spread to other countries, including Japan, China and South Korea. The classification is “Not currently engaged in Employment, Education or Training“.

Why there is NEET?

1. Jobs are not well paid
Due to the globalization and job outsourcing, the salary increment doesn’t seem to cope with inflation. Most employees leave their companies due to job dissatisfaction, office politic and mainly because of the salary. But of course, the younger generation nowadays are unlike the old days. Job is supposed to be easy, fun, and well-paid. Since you are not likely to find this kind of job, you will hop from one place to the others.

2. College degrees don’t give young people the head start
I still remembered the story published on the local newspaper – a university graduate had to help his parents selling fried banana because she just couldn’t land a decent job.

3. High education loan and consumer debt
Money may not solve every problem. This is especially true to those who don’t know how to control the power of money. The fresh graduates today have to face the financial trouble of getting a car to work, while worrying about the monthly debt repayment of study loan and credit cards.

4. Big sponsorship from parents
Too much pampering, non-stop financial aid, and the lack of financial education have demolish their will to be independent.

Are you a NEET?
Once upon the time, my parents thought that I am a NEET indeed. During 2000-2001, I was a fresh graduate with a degree in engineering, but working as a musician instead. I think they misunderstand that because I treat myself as self-employed.

Plants Make You Feel Better     psychologytoday.com

Recently, an article in Miller-McCune caught my attention. It mentioned several research studies related to the positive impact of nature on the human condition. Having plants, going for a walk in the park, or even looking at a landscape poster could produce psychological benefits, reduce stress, and improve concentration. Click here for the Miller-McCune article: Nature is Good (link is external).

So, I decided to take a closer look at the research and see what might be helpful relative to our often stressful experience of living and working in the city. Though it is not related to mindfulness, this topic seemed interesting and particularly timely as we start sloughing off the heavy coat of winter and welcome the coming of spring.

Plants in Your Space

Based on several experimental studies, the presence of potted plants has been found to be helpful in many different settings including work, school, and hospitals. In particular, plants have been shown to...

    Lower blood pressure (systolic)
    Improve reaction times
    Improve attendance (at work and school)
    Raise productivity (at work)
    Improve well-being
    Lower levels of anxiety during recovery from surgery
    Raise job satisfaction

Not bad, huh?! Feeling good around plants is probably not surprising. After all, we surround ourselves with plants during celebrations and tragedies (i.e., weddings and funerals, respectively). We also set aisde "sacred" green space for parks and community gardens in our cities and communities.

Limitations of the Research

Before we get ahead of ourselves and start replacing the carpet with trays of wheat grass, it's important to know one major limitation of the research. Most of the studies on the effects of houseplants have compared the presence of plants to their absence. While this is the epitome of a well-designed experiment, there might be other factors associated with the presence of plants--but not the plants themselves--that account for the more favorable results. For example, the improvement could be due to distraction, novelty, caring for something, perceived control, or improved air quality. Thus, we might get similar results under different circumstances, such as replacing the plants with a dartboard, photos, Sea Monkeys, or an air purifier. So, it's important to keep in mind that other additions to your space might also be helpful.

啃老族燒死父母 開庭還在罵他們

五十二歲男子翁仁賢去年除夕夜在老家縱火,造成父母等家人六死五傷,他說「早就想這樣做」。翁一審被判死刑,二審昨天開庭,他大哥、三哥在法庭上數度與他槓上;三哥痛批「家有啃老族,家會變成最危險的地方。」么弟趁圍爐「一網打盡」燬家,台灣人須正視啃老族問題。

翁仁賢排行老么,四名哥哥與兩名姊姊事業有成,他在老家務農。去年除夕夜,翁仁賢趁家人吃團圓飯時,用寶特瓶、牛奶罐分裝廿公升汽油,朝用餐家人淋澆後引火,父母、姪子、姪媳和看護葬身火窟,姪女送醫也不治,另有五名親友灼傷。

翁仁賢的三哥翁仁君痛批,父、母與他原本當實習醫師的兒子、女兒都在大火中喪命,妻子嚴重灼傷,手足們過去不斷資助么弟,他卻覺得大家「凌虐他、對不起他」,圍爐竟成全家被燒毀契機,天理何在?他說「啃老族」永遠不會滿足,翁家悲劇應喚醒台灣社會對「啃老族」的重視。

翁高職汽車修護科畢業、退伍後,曾到一般公司工作,後返回老家住,生活靠家人支持;他和父母、兄長關係緊張。一審時,桃園療養院鑑定翁的「自戀型人格特質」使他自恃才能,過度誇大自身成就,認為自己長期為家庭付出卻無法得到相對應肯定、尊重與回饋。翁認為兄嫂、姪輩、父母都是「一丘之貉」,五 、六年前就想殺他們,忖量如何「最短時間滅滿門」。

桃園地院認為翁的行為,絕大多數人都無法接受,有與社會永久隔離必要,依殺害直系血親尊親屬等罪判他死刑。

案件上訴後,翁第一件事就是要法律扶助基金會撤換掉「害他判死」的律師;法院開庭時,翁仁賢稱農家小孩是免費奴工,「確定父母有養育之恩嗎?」還抱怨從小要餵豬、念書時也不能隨興趣填志願。




上月高院開庭時,律師主張桃園療養院的鑑定「不專業」,希望法官再送鑑定,並評估再犯風險。檢方反駁指翁害死六命,殘忍燒死父母,兩公約有哪一點說不能判極刑?翁的父母生、養、育他逾五十年,下場是被他殺死,「是父母的養育問題嗎?他的哥哥、姊姊都很優秀啊!」
