How Today's World Affects People

People 's lives generally depend on the well being of the economy because it controls many aspects of their lives. The Economy is management of the resources of a community, country, etc especially with a view to its productivity. Being unemployed for a long time can affect people in other ways besides financially like they start depending on the government to provide for them, families start needing to look for homeless shelters, and immigrants start flooding back in their native country. The effects of not being able to find a job is getting unhealthy vices, moving back in with your parents and trouble gaining employment again.

She talks about how a accordion family is formed by either Parents babying their kids too much, how some young people are forced back because they can 't find a job during a recession or how young adults want to be lazy and live off their parents as much as they can after College. An example would be when Newman talks about how today 's world affects young adults "The economic conditions that have made it so difficult for today 's young people to find footing in the labor market...Accordion families are, then, a natural response to economic insecurity."(92) This illustrates that having a weak economy causes young adults to move back with their parents and get back on their feet once they have graduated. For the most part when people find out that young adults are still living with their parents it comes with a stigma and it 's unfair to judge since during a recession not even their parents may be able to survive on what they make. Furthermore, it 's not just the parents that feel the humiliation also the kid feels embarrassed to move back in
