Some people might think that the young at present are more independent from their parent compared the past. However, in my opinion, young people nowadays still rely on them even much more than the past for following two reasons. To begin with, more and more young generation cannot be separated from their parents. There are several reasons. One is global financial crisis. The downfall of economics in many countries caused the young’s reliance on their parent’s home and allowance. In addition, the other reason is probably that parent nowadays tend to do everything for their children from when they were child. In this sense, the concept of kangaroo tribe was emerged. This concept indicates that people who depend on their parents either financially or emotionally or both even after becoming an adult. This phenomenon prevails in many countries. For example, according to an article published in Sweden, the number of kangaroo tribe among the young in the country is increasing consistently after the global financial crisis in 2008. So, 25 percentage of young generation are relying on their parent. The article stressed that this trend notably contrasts to the past when the most young were separated from their parents after becoming an adult. On top of that, for all people, independence from parent might be actually impossible. This is because some problems in life do not change despite of the flow of time. Human relationship can be such an example. Although many aspects of life are replaced by machines, it is still necessary for human beings to build human network and to maintain it. Moreover, since the problem related with it is always difficult, and the most effective solution is myriad of experience, so young people need the assistance of their parents who have a wide range of experience. I know this from my experience. For example, when I was 23 years old, my old friend had misconception about me that I stabbed her’s back. It was not true, but I did not know how solve the situation because I was so embarrassed. So, I asked my mother for help, and she told me that I had to contact for her and explained the truth. I did what she said, and as a result, my friend felt sorry about the misunderstand of me. Finally, we recovered close relationship. In conclusion, realistic conditions such as high price or global financial crisis make young people’s independence from their parent more difficult, and parent’s diverse experience and wisdom are still helpful for the young. In this regard, I firmly believe that the young today are still relying on their parent. |
