Talk:Freeter

Could someone please rewrite this in English?

>>What do you mean? The entire entry is in English? --Mdziesinski

hmm

i'd say a good expansion would be adding some cultural references to the phenomenon - i know for one there are quite a few references to freeters in the anime golden boy.

Actually, that's an excellent idea. A 'Cultural references' section at the end of the entry could also provide a way for people to see how Japanese culture perceives this phenomenon. --Mdziesinski 18:44, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

The Problem is in China too

Not only in Japan this problem exists. China is feeling this new generation is a bit on the lazy side. Becasue of the "one child" policy that China has so strictly enforced, the population has decreased, thus the program was a success, but at what expense? The new generation of Chinese children, those born in the one child era, have started their adult life, but a surprising number have not followed in the footsteps of their parents. They have begun to stick to their parents, and have not wprked as hard as their parents did. Their choice and freedom have worked against them. Thank you for your article. It has broadened my view on the human race, I hope there will be a few more references on Wikipedia soon.

Unsourced tag

I have added the "unsourced" tag to this article, as it appears to be mostly armchair sociology. I'm not even sure if this article belongs on Wikipedia, it appears to be an attempt to create a cultural group where none may in fact exist, likely for political purposes.

Ideolistic views and lack of hope

It can expand into total hatred of the world. Not something always specific to any age either. There are _everywhere_. It does seems to be borne out of ideolistic views and lack of hope. I can see it in everyone; my father, my brother, travellers.

I agree that it is political too - look at non-voters. These people are smart and dormant, working and wasting in useless jobs, waiting for god-o. Viewed as a lack of furfillment is everyone a freeter to some degree?

I think I may well start up a site on this...

As for problems with the article - it is poor sociology but the page is needed. It could be marked for bias. Of course though, prepare for a freeter infection; isn't all science armchair quality?
