The challenges of living in a diverse society

Sometimes people with different cultural identities fail to understand each other. Misunderstanding can lead to fear. Fear can cause:

Prejudice— intolerance and mistreatment of a person because of their race, religion, sexuality, disability or political beliefs.

Stereotyping— making an unfair assumption or generalisation about a person based on an aspect of their cultural identity. Examples include the belief that ‘women can’t drive’, or describing people as ‘hoodies’ or ‘chavs’.

Sectarianism— treating a person unfairly because of their religion. In Northern Ireland, this most commonly occurs between Catholics and Protestants.

Racism— mistreating someone based on their race or ethnicity.

Homophobia— disliking someone because of their sexual orientation.

These challenges can lead to conflict in a community if they are not properly addressed. If people from different communities do not, or cannot, integrate with one another they may feel excluded and isolated.

Discrimination is an action that denies a person their rights because of their cultural identity.

A common example is when a person who is otherwise qualified for a job is not employed because of their religion or race.

There are many ways that discrimination can affect a young person from a minority group. They may:

feel that others dislike them, or are against them — this can make them feel excluded, isolated, and lonely

find it difficult to make friends, as other young people may try to exclude them from their groups

find it difficult to find employment and support themselves financially

find it hard to get accommodation or housing in an area that they like.

Religious and spiritual racial tensions, leading to people looking down on each other. Inequality and biasness

# data[].attributes.body
In a cross-national comparison, countries with a bigger income gap between rich and poor indeed have more social ills. Inequality is bad for society as it goes along with weaker social bonds between people, which in turn makes health and social problems more likely. Thus people get sick and they have a higher chance of death. Families of this people will then get emotionally distressed

# data[].attributes.body
it can cause disharmony and a divided Singapore where people look down on each other or treat people of different class differently

# data[].attributes.body
it is a problem because it will lead to those with more wealth to start looking down on those with lower income. they will start to have such impressions that those in the lower class are 'less educated' or 'dangerous'. this will lead to the people in lower class to feel humiliated and ashamed of where they come from. this will also cause the prices of every day essentials to go up higher as those who are at the other extreme end can afford much more. the lower class will start to feel less cared for or not united as one because of this income gap.

# data[].attributes.body
More occurrences of discrimination and prejudice towards people of lower income, unequal rights in say and education.

# data[].attributes.body
Its makes it harder for the low income people to work with the high income people, despite the poorer class having the same skill set as the higher class, it makes it harder for the lower class to rise up to the higher class.

# data[].attributes.body
The higher and richer class will have greater superiority over the lower and poorer class, which can cause more discrimination between them

# data[].attributes.body
Different lifestyles and the richer people think that they are more superior than the poorer people

# data[].attributes.body
there would be two extreme ends, a party who is super wealthy and a party who is living in poverty

# data[].attributes.body
there might be inequality between the rich and the poor

# data[].attributes.body
the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer , there may be discrimination between the rich and the poor and people would feel discriminated just because of their income gap and aren't treated equally

# data[].attributes.body
Leads to a vast difference in standard of living. Issues with people of different SES, richer people will grow with wealth while poor people get worse living conditions. Superiority complex

# data[].attributes.body
opportunities in life are lesser for those who are less priviledge

# data[].attributes.body
the higher SES individuals might develop negative stereotypes towards the lower SES and the higher SES have bigger advantages as they have the money to access them.EG: the higher SES can afford to pay the school fees for an ‘elite’ school and have access to better healthcare

There may be inequality and disharmony in the society. People may be treated differently due to their SES. There may be misunderstandings between people.

# data[].attributes.body
Effects of income inequality, researchers have found, include higher rates of health and social problems, and lower rates of social goods, a lower population-wide satisfaction and happiness and even a lower level of economic growth when human capital is neglected for high-end consumption.

This growing income gap has long-term economic implications and threatens the sustainability of the stock market's recovery. ... Economic disparity also creates deep divides, which increase political risk for investors and opens the door to potential tax and regulatory changes that can weigh on corporate earnings.

# data[].attributes.body
due to a growing income gap,it divides society and people are classified under the amount of money they make,in some cases,those of the higher class may look down on those below them whilst those of the lower class may grow jealous

# data[].attributes.body
Enough economic inequality can transform a democracy into a plutocracy, a society ruled by the rich. Large inequalities of inherited wealth can be particularly damaging, creating, in effect, an economic caste system that inhibits social mobility and undercuts equality of opportunity.

Class divide does cause disharmony. A person may dislike hanging out with another individual who has a different background, causing them to be in disharmony.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that class divide causes disharmony whether we like it or not. Most people would unknowingly discriminate against those of a lower class divide.

# data[].attributes.body
no i dont think so, because why would someone ask about another persons social economic status? if you do have an idea about a persons social economic status, do not make such a big fuss out of it because it does not matter as long as that person has good character. social class doses not define a persons ability to mix around or respect others from a different background

# data[].attributes.body
yes

# data[].attributes.body
yes

# data[].attributes.body
yes, i agree. I believe that as long as there are people who experience discrimination and bias against them purely based on their SES,, the disharmony still exists in the society

# data[].attributes.body
Yes.In my opinion, if Singaporeans continue to harbour  views about those of a different class,then the class divide would become bigger and disrupt the harmony in Singapore

# data[].attributes.body
yes, despite the continuous measures to ensure those of different bags to meet and bond. the exsisting stereotypes of the different classes still exists and its difficult to change inviduals behavioral/ mindset . the govt should and must continue with having measurements to bond and introduce the people of different classes
mai

# data[].attributes.body
Yes as the poorer people think that the rich people are selfish and the rich people think the poorer people are loosers and that causes conflict.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. Because people with higher SES are able to go to private schools while people with lower SES go to public schools. This reduces the opportunity for them to interact and do the culture shock of the different backgrounds would leave an impression on each person.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I think that class divide in Singapore causes disharmony. For example, people with higher socio-economic status may get more opportunities compared to the people with lower socio-economic status. People with lower socio-economic status may feel left out because of it.

# data[].attributes.body
yes. class divide causes disharmony as people who are more fortunate get more opportunities than those who come from a lower social class

# data[].attributes.body
no . harmony depends on people who can peacefully get together without disrespecting one another , and by disrespecting one another , it means to judge others and have a negative perception of who they are just because of their background ( idk what I am saying im sowwy  )

# data[].attributes.body
yes. people tend to look down in people from a lower class from them
