a. The 2 DQs I’m interested in are:
- DQ 1: Mental Health and Well-being
- DQ 2: Inclusive Spaces
I’m interested in these two the most as they are topics that has been covered in the modules I took in the past two years in my course, especially for the inclusive spaces topic.

b. Like I mentioned, the two DQs have been covered in the modules I have completed in previous semesters. As inclusive spaces is relevant to including children as well as the disabled, I think my knowledge when it comes to children in general as well as the knowledge and skills I picked up in a module I took where we looked specifically into children with special needs.

c.
DQ 1:
- reducing the stigma of treatment
- increasing awareness of mental well-being issues

DQ 2:
- open areas
- parks
- void decks

Recently, I helped out in a live broadcast of the Migrant Cultural Show, and it was a great experience as not only was I able to watch the performance, I was able to see the audience enjoying themselves as well.

6) Depends on my what the subject/topic is but usually speaking. Ambivert. Night person. Bubble Tea

7) I try to make sure nobody is left out, ensuring that everyone's opinions and ideas are acknowledged.

8a) The 2 DQs I am most interested in is DQ 1 and 3. Firstly, DQ 1 is relatable as I have had many experiences with mental health from my friends, family and even myself. It is a topic that is also on the rise due to COVID and definitely can be addressed in many ways. As for DQ 3, I had been watching videos recently that documented Japan's and Korea's method of recycling and I always wondered why we do not adopt the same method here in Singapore. I have also heard multiple times about how the semakau landfill will be full by 2035 and it worries me.

8b) As a media student, I think I can help in terms of providing information in new ways to educate the mass about problems.

7) Can kickstart an ideation process, and I can aid our team at looking at different perspective.

8)
a) Which 2 DQs are you most interested in? Explain why (e.g. personal interest, prior exposure, pressing societal issue)

DQ1: As I have had friends in the past who have struggled with their mental health and the stigma that it has been passed down from a very traditional lifestyle. I have had friends who have lost their lives to this battle against their mental health. So I find it a challenge to help myself and others, making sure we don’t lose any more lives than we already have.

DQ2: Interesting enough, I have been raised in multiple settings and cultures before so I find this topic very close to home. I’ve been taken care of by helpers which essentially come from a different culture, so does my parents who also come from different cultures, and being brought up in Singapore, it’s truly a mixed experience as one could imagine. So all in all, I feel this topic would be something that I would be keen on looking into more; a better environment and system for the mixed racial setting we have in the island.

b) How do you think you can apply your disciplinary knowledge and skills in understanding and solving the DQs?

As a Mass Communication student, I have the means to reach out to the masses and disseminate information in a quick, simplified manner that can both get my point across whilst also eliciting a reaction with my audience. My area has also taught me various ways of conducting primary research in order for me to gain more insights in the particular subject I am working on.

c) List a few topics for each of the shortlisted DQs that you think make a worthy semester project.

DQ1: Increasing Access to Treatment & Resources, Limiting the Negative Impact of Social Media, Reducing the Stigma of Treatment

DQ2: How can we actively make more spaces for foreign workers to feel more at home in Singapore (other than the various cultural places that exist)?

5) nope

6) Speaking, ambivert, night person, bubble tea

7) open to ideas, being proactive in team discussions & discipline

8a) the 2 DQ that I am interested in is DQ1 and DQ2. the reason why I am interested in DQ1 is that I have more exposure to them because of the course I am in, which is nursing - hence I have knowledge about mental health and experience working with mental health patients. In addition, I feel like Singaporeans do not really have that much exposure to mental health.

8b) In nursing, one of our modules was actually about mental health; so I can apply the content that was being taught in that module to help understand and solve DQ1. We can also do a survey and research Singaporeans about mental health

8c) DQ1:
- Optimal mental health approaches: depression & anxiety
- Mental health and psychological resilience during COVID-19

DQ2: How do we compromise the space that we have to make it more beneficial and efficient

7) I do work when asked. :)

8a) The DQs that I am the most interested in are DQ1 and DQ2. I'm interested in DQ1 as it is something that has become very prevalent in our community especially after the pandemic happened. I also have suffered from mental health issues in the past so this DQ hits a little closer to home.

I'm also interested in DQ2 as I have had experience with being kicked out of locations back when I was a freerunner / parkour practitioner, so I would like there to be a more inclusive space for everyone.

8b) For DQ1, as a masscomm student, I'm able to advocate and raise awareness for people suffering from mental health. I can use my social media and production skills to be able to try and shed light on mental health and remove the stigma.

For DQ2, as a student of mass communication, I would be able conduct crucial primary and secondary research based on what the public wants.

8c)
DC1: What can youths bring to the table that the older generation cannot in regard to mental health?

DC2: What can the Singapore government do to to make shared spaces more inclusive?

7) having initiative and communication

8a) The 2 DQs are DQ1 and DQ3. For DQ1, i feel that mental health is an ongoing topic in Singapore but we tend to ignore it as society thinks that it is small problem. For DQ3, i feel that Singaporeans are doing their part in keeping Singapore clean, however, there are some ways in keeping Singapore a clean and green country. One of the ways is separating recyclable and non-recyclable materials into their respective rubbish bin.

8b) For DQ1, i think i as a student nurse can try to understand what the person is going through and listen to them, instead of ignoring their mental health. I can also advise them on what can they do to not be so stressed up and come up with activities to help them de-stress. For DQ3, there isn't much i can help but in my recent clinical posting, they use hardened paper containers for medical use instead of plastic, and once it is being used, it would be thrown into a machine where it will dilute the paper to make it reusable again.

8c) DC1: What are some of the ways that we can do to de-stressed ourselves from time to time

DC3: What are some of the methods we can use to reduce plastic waste in Singapore?

4) Playing computer games.

5) None.

6) Writing. Introverted. Night person. Bubble tea.

7) Good cooperation and time management with my fellow teammates. Ensure we work together to complete our tasks on time.

8a) DQ 1 & 3. Firstly for DQ1, mental health is something that I really wanted to learn more about as it is an area that I am not knowledgeable in. Secondly DQ3, it concerns the environment. In Singapore, we are generating tonnes of waste every year and sooner or later our landfill will run out of space. I got interested in DQ3 because of the circular economy approach where we try to produce products that can be reused, recycled, and remanufactured for as long as possible. This new approach is better than how we handle products now, where we use them and dispose of them without trying to find another purpose for the products.

8b) In my course of study, I can apply the engineering design process in trying to understand and solving the DQs.
[The Engineering Design Process]:
Phase 1: Plan
Identify the problem, brainstorm possible new/existing solutions, and build a working prototype.

Phase 2: Test
Test prototype, analyze data presented by the prototype and then modify the prototype. (This phase is repeated until a final model is achieved)

Phase 3: Final Presentation
Present the final model and evaluate which solution was the most effective in meeting the problem.

With this process and using the knowledge and basic skills that I gained during the course of my study, e.g. Arduino programming, I should be able to understand and solve the DQs.

8c) For DQ1, increasing awareness of mental well-being issues or reducing the stigma of mental health treatment.

For DQ3, how to reduce household waste as a resident or how to repurpose food waste.

8)
a) DQ1 and DQ2.

For DQ1, from a young age, I have always been interested in psychology and the science of happiness. However, my passion for mental health issues erupted in 2018 when I read a play for English Literature called Off Centre. It was a play about two characters, one with schizophrenia and one with depression, as they struggle through life fighting against the stigma against the mentally ill. From there, I had been wildly passionate in trying to raise awareness for the mentally ill. I have written several articles for my writing modules on the everyday challenges of the maintaining one's own mental well being and I think Singapore still has a long way to go in terms of educating our youths to be wary of their own mental wellness as we live in quite a cold and competitive society. As a Singaporean youth myself, I sometimes forget to take a breather from all the rushing and grinding to be successful that I am guilty of forgetting the importance of maintaining a healthy mindset.

For DQ2, I feel that Singapore still has a long way to go in terms of inclusivity. Even though on the surface we are a peaceful and harmonious nation, every Singaporean should be able to admit that there are some underlying tensions among communities of people. I feel that this may have resulted in a lack of sense of belonging wherever they are, they do not feel involved in their own communities. Hence, I think it is important that all communities of people get to have representation for their culture where they live, this can foster a more inclusive community and forge a better understanding of culture among all communities.

b) I feel that my disciplinary knowledge of the media is very important in communicating key messages to everyone. In the theory that we learn, there is a theory called Cultivation Theory, the theory states that long term exposure to a consistent message would be able to forge a belief in the message for someone. I believe that with enough consistent messaging, people will start to believe in the positive messages put out by the media. For example, tips on how to maintain a healthy mental well being can be enforced into someone's memory if repeated enough, like how most Singaporeans can remember the 5 step mozzie wipeout due to the repetition of it during the dengue season on TV.

c)
DQ1:
- Prevention is better than cure (play to the stingy side of Singaporeans because therapy is $$$$$, as well as the obvious serious long term effects if one was to give in to negative mental well being)
- Self-love beats all love (talk about the common value of "always putting others first" and how to know whether you're ready for that)
- Sometimes words speak louder than any action (It's ok to voice out in times of distress, even if it is hard, don't wait for others to notice that you're in a bad shape, highlight how to be self-aware of one's own mental well being and how important it is to take the first step)
- More Health Ed classes on self-esteem from a young age

DQ2:
- Have designing competitions where one community of people try to design a space for another community of people (it gets people thinking about the culture of other communities as well as get the original community of people to clear up misunderstanding that may have been represented in their designs)

a)

2 DQs that I am most interested in would be DQ1 and DQ3. For DQ1, I feel that mental well-being calls for the need of attention as it is not as simple an issue that it seems. It is important that we care about this aspect as having a good well-being will help us to get through anything in life. As a member of the Peer Helpers CCA in my school, I have heard from participants who have shared about their thoughts and feelings. Then, I realized that many of my peers are facing many kinds of stress which are often overlooked. Thus, our mental well-being is an issue that calls to be addressed.

For DQ3, Singapore’s landfill capacity is a worrying issue for our small nation. Most of the time, the items that we throw away are contaminated even if we do our means of throwing the rubbish in the recycling bins. As such, these wastes must be incinerated. Other than issues like limited land space, such incineration will impact our global warming, inadvertently causing climate change. Ultimately, this could have a turn on our ecosystem and being inter-dependent on it, we would suffer the consequences. Thus, Singapore’s landfill is something that is a cause for concern.

b)

Yes, my disciplinary skills and knowledge can play a part. As an Early Childhood educator, it is my role to be a facilitator of the children’s learning. For DQ1, children may not be able to understand mental well-being but I can put in simpler terms by talking about their emotions, and helping them to learn how to regulate them which can be beneficial in the long run. For Dq2, I can provide simple hands-on activities for the children and let them watch videos for them to have a basic understanding on the issue about Singapore’s current landfill.

c)

DQ1:

How can we promote mental wellness?

What are ways to manage our mental well-being?

DQ2:

What are activities that we can do to create unite the people of our society?

DQ3:

How can we raise awareness on ways to dispose our trash properly?

What are ways to make our trash “useful”?

8a) DQ 1 & 3
I feel that caring for oneself is important as no one knows us better then ourselves and I feel that mental health has been neglected for a very long time in our society and I think its about time we take care of ourselves and possibly understand what others may be going through as it can enable use to help one another. And for the environment I think its important to care for mother earth as without her we wont be able to survive. Earth is such an amazing place where nature takes its course to showcase what she is able to do which she never fails to blow us away.

b) Studying in nursing definitely helps me better understand how an individual thinks, behave and react it also lets me have the chance to get closer and better understand how they feel and why they think a certain way which lets me gain experience to help those in need and maybe to be able to speak up for them.

c) DQ1
- Does having a mental illness means your crazy? And how can we stop stereotyping people that are suffering from it.

DQ3

DQ1 - Caring for the SELF (How can we better support the mental and well-being of individuals in our society?)

Self-care is the most essential to me since it aids in the management of the stresses I experience. Furthermore, continual stress and anxiety have a negative impact on both mental and physical health. While I believe that both mental and physical health are vital, I also believe that a little stress can help encourage me to complete a task. Last but not least, I believe that taking care of myself might just be the driving factor to care (eventually) for others.

DQ3 - Caring for the ENVIRONMENT (How can we prolong the life of Singapore’s landfill?)

8b.) As an engineer, i can put my knowledge for eg. developing a new solution to care and protect the environment in the long run. I also can apply my knowledge in electrical installation design when building something in a hdb flats.

8) a) The two DQs I choose are 1 & 3. The reason I choose DQ 1 as its something which is much relatable to me as I do experience stress and was having difficulties in solving it on some occasions. Also in this society mental health is something that people taking it lightly.

As for DQ 3 the reason I choose it is the recent news that by 2030 the landfill might be filled which I am worried about plus it's our responsibility to keep the environment clean for better and healthier living.

8b) For DQ1 we engineers might help invent or design a technology that can monitor or research which can improve our wellbeing. For example, making simple apps provide instant-access counseling services. The app maybe has an in-built sensor to collect information on user behavior, detect changes and call for help.

As for DQ3, my discipline could help to solve by increasing energy efficiency. Also, there are some systems that were invented for disposing of the waste properly. There's also Singapore's Green plan which might be having sustainable development.

8a) DQ 1 and DQ 2 are the ones that caught my interest.
as someone i know been through this kind of experience and as someone who stayed beside them throughout, i do know how it feels and made me determined to do something about it, not only to the people i know around me, but also to the society. mental well-being is something that cannot be teach in school as it concerns ones emotions. this also made me curious to find out how it work, as well as finding a solution for the problem. as for DQ 2, its normal for me to feel quite "left out" in the society. i do want to know more about it and also, im interested in how it works

b) being an engineer, i could help in building/ creating items that is able to help with the problem. as my course allows me to think creatively, i am able to work out a solution with the mindset of building something that can solve the problem. first i will think about the possible solutions for the problems, then start to build/create items that are able to be of help.

c) DQ1: how to guide the individuals with their mental well-being and guiding them on how they can go through the healing process
DQ2: building a space or a machine that can allow the people of all ages to gather and have a greater sense of community awareness

DQ1: As a nursing student, I have always wanted to help people who are suffering from mental issues through the knowledge that I have learned in school.

DQ2: having a good space and place feels welcoming to me and also brightens up everyone’s day!

b.

DQ1: we have behavioral science and mental health module in NSG, which includes emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. I think mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
DQ2: honestly, I don’t think NSG can relate to this, it’s more on the design and art side

a) The 2 DQs that I'm most interested in would be DQ1 and DQ 3.
As for DQ1, i believe that the well-being of peoples mental health is extremely important as it could affect people in various ways. With Singapore being such a fast-moving country, some people are unable to keep up and with many working extra hard, the mental health of people are neglected, resulting in many breaking down and even hurting themselves. Some even see mental health as a bad thing and stereotype those who choose to seek help by calling them "crazy". i believe that singapore would be better if the mental health of people were taken care of so everyone would be happier.
As for DQ 3, with singapore being such a small country, there isn't enough space for the disposal of rubbish. i believe that singaporeans can do better and play a part in saving the earth by being sustainable so there won't be as much rubbish to dispose.  if people do not do their part in saving the earth, the people will suffer as the earth deteriorates with more natural disasters occuring.

b) through ECDE, i have learned how to look out for childrens emotional well-being. i believe that i can help to solve the 2 DQs by teaching the children from a young age to always be nice towards their peers and to look out for one another. as for DQ3, i can help to educate children on saving the earth during discovery of the world classes.

8a) DQ 1 & 3
DQ 1: Mental health and well-being has always been a topic of interest to me as it relies on personal experiences and knowledge of the condition. Mental health has been an overlooked and under-addressed issue as compared to physical health. Personally, i feel that mental health can be the root issue to certain problems.

DQ 3: Waste is one of the contributing factors to global warming, one of many hot issues and this topic has caught my interest. Ever since global warming has been one topic of the country's interest, my family and i have been practising the 3R's more diligently. Despite government efforts and driving the importance of reducing waste into civilians, i believe singapore can do better.

8b) Knowledge about mental health and experience from interactions with various patients of different age groups helps with communication towards the public. Additionally, clinical setting is an area where waste is constantly generated so knowledge about clinical products can help with understanding and solving the DQs.
