Self-Blame: Unemployed Young Adults in Finding New Jobs
Introduction
Our topic is self-blame in unemployed young adults in finding new jobs. The problem is that previous researchers have not addressed the effect of behavioural self-blame (BSB) and characterological self-blame (CSB) in unemployed young adults on their job seeking behavior. Self-blame implies an individual is taking up individual responsibility for the happening of a negative event faced (Janoff-Bulman, 1979, as cited in Kaur & Kaur, 2015).

Over the past several decades, individuals have began building capital at an early age. People do not want to be stuck in a financial bind every month. They do not want to stress about how they are supposed to pay their rent next month, or how they are supposed to put a meal on the table for their children. Young adults have started to develop both financial and human capital early on in their lives in order to ensure a stable future for themselves and their family. Ben Stein's letter, "Birds and Bees?

Today’s civilization is on the cutting edge of scientific innovation and technology. This is seemingly a good thing, as with inventions like the internet, we have unparalleled access to knowledge and information. Research which comprised hours spent digging in the archives of a library can be done much faster and more efficiently at home on a computer with internet access. On the surface, we see only positives. But, when examining more closely, a detrimental effect on human cognition is recognized: the loss of attention and focus.

The Articles of Confederation was the first form of government of United States. The Articles of Confederation was so weak because the Federal government didn’t have the right to tax the citizen, so they would not have enough capital to pay the loan that was borrowed during Revolutionary War. Nevertheless, every amendment required all 13 states to approve, so it was so difficult to set up an amendment. Therefore, changes were almost impossible to happen. It led to the Constitutional Convention because the politician thought the Articles of Confederation was too weak, so they did need improvement.

“Again and again in these networking groups, bootcamp interviewer, we were told that everything that happens to you is because of your attitude.” She could not believe that this kind of thing was being said to people who had lost their jobs, almost like the unemployed were being blamed for their own hardships. She said that when this happens it is “victim-blaming of a particularly ugly kind.” To add to the misfortune of being unemployed, many people without jobs also do not have the “luxury” of health insurance, Ehrenreich pointed out. She said that with most corporate jobs, they get health insurance as part of their benefits, but that does not mean they get to keep it

Jennifer was born in 1953, after World War II as part of the first wave of baby boomers, making her 62 years old today (McDaniel 2001, Table 1). She remains married, with two children, to her husband of 27 years and continues to work. Her life will be analysed using applicable theories including, but not exclusively: the standardization of the life course, as proposed by Shanahan; the normative order of life events; Mannheim’s idea of the formative period; and theories on parental income, education and social location (Mannheim 1952, pp.300; Shanahan 2000, pp.667-668; Corak 2000, pp.140; De Broucker & Lavallee 2000, pp.144; Frederick & Boyd 2000, pp. 136).

Why do people blame others for their own mistakes Blaming others for things they did not commit is something everyone undertakes at least once in their lives. There is always going to be a few people who address their mistakes on everyone, but themselves. It is an everyday issue that whenever a person does something wrong they will try to shift the blame to other people, so it would not be their fault anymore. This is something which will not always be consciously thought out.

The education system produces skills that are not valued by employers, while raising the expectations of those who acquire them. Consequently, the unemployed do not take up existing job vacancies, and employers are unwilling to hire available candidates (Njonjo, 2010). The mismatch is more marked for school leavers and graduates who have just finished school, partly providing an explanation for the high unemployment rate among youth and new entrants into the job market. The suggested remedy is to reform the education system and increase focus on technical education and vocational training, matching them to the needs of the job market (Coenjaerts et al. 2009).
