Buma, leader of the Christian Democrats, says that the Netherlands has an
education problem. Youngsters have to be
educated to understand that they have duties. Therefore, a national service draft
has to be instituted. After high school,
students should be obliged to work for a number of months for a volunteer
organization, the Ministry of Defense or another such social institution. The students can then show that they are
doing something for the Netherlands, and a future employer can see that they
are competent. Buma added that in the
Netherlands, a society has been created where the question “what can I get out
of it?” has become far more dominant than “what can I do for society?” Duties, and not only rights, belong to a functional
society, and recognition of such is lacking in the Netherlands. Tuesday, March 17, 2015
