What did I like/dislike about the conversation or statement?
I liked how everyone had their own opinions and some shared personal experiences. It made the convo more interesting. But I didn’t really like it when some people kept going off-topic or when others didn’t really listen.

How did I use the “Strategies for Respectful Dialogues”?
I made sure to listen and let others finish talking. I tried to be polite even when I didn’t agree, and I asked questions instead of just saying someone was wrong.

What did I learn from hearing my team’s thoughts?
I realised that everyone sees things differently. Some points I never thought about came up. It helped me understand the topic better and made me think deeper.

1. What happened in the video?

A father works so hard that he doesn't get to spend much time with his son. The son seems distant and unsure of how to connect with him. One day, the father surprises his son with a special gift—something that shows the son he understands and cares deeply. That heartfelt moment brings them much closer.

2. Emotional Response

The son probably cried because he finally felt seen and valued by his dad. That gift was more than just an object—it was a sign of his father’s love and understanding. It reminded him how much his dad cares, and that hit him right in the heart.

3. Application

Spend time listening and paying attention to what matters to others.

Show love and care in small, thoughtful ways, not just grand gestures.

Try to understand someone else’s feelings before reacting—being empathetic helps us connect better.

In Lesson 3, I learned that identity is shaped by both how we see ourselves and how others see us. It comes from many things like family, culture, religion, race, and personal interests. We explored personal identity (what makes us unique) and social identity (what connects us to others). This helped me think about the roles I play in life and which parts of my identity matter most to me.

We also looked at how Singapore’s diversity shapes identity. With many races, languages, and beliefs, people often have different layers to who they are. Global ideas also influence how we see ourselves. I realised that while having many identities can be meaningful, it can also be confusing when trying to fit in or stay true to yourself.

This lesson made me see that identity can change over time. Going forward, I want to embrace all parts of who I am, instead of choosing just one side. I believe this will help me stay confident and true to myself in a diverse society like Singapore.

In Lesson 4, I learned that stereotypes are general ideas we have about people based on things like race, age, or gender. These ideas are often not true and can be unfair. They happen when we judge others without really knowing them.

We also talked about bias. Bias comes from stereotypes and can affect how we treat people. Sometimes we don’t even know we have these thoughts (implicit bias), and other times we are aware of them (explicit bias). Bias can lead to discrimination, which is when someone is treated badly just because of who they are. We also learned about the halo effect and confirmation bias, which can make us believe things that aren’t true.

This lesson helped me realise that I might have some hidden biases too. Now, I want to be more careful with how I think about others and try to understand them better. I believe this can help me treat people more fairly and with respect.

In this lesson, I learned how media can shape the way we see people. It often repeats stereotypes, like women always being caregivers, men being strong, or older people being weak. Some races are shown unfairly, and people with disabilities are rarely shown at all.

I also realised how media can influence our thinking without us knowing. Ads and shows reflect hidden biases, and we might believe them without questioning.

Now, I want to be more aware of these messages and not let them affect how I see others. If something feels unfair, I’ll try to speak up or think twice. This can help me be more respectful and open-minded.

In this lesson, I learned that Singapore’s identity is built on shared values like multiculturalism, resilience, boldness, and openness. These values aren’t just ideas they show in how different people live together peacefully and how we face challenges as a country. Building a home where everyone feels included takes effort from all of us.

We also talked about how Singapore’s identity keeps changing because of things like an ageing population and new generations with different ideas. I realised that what it means to be Singaporean isn’t fixed it changes with time. This made me think about how my generation will help shape the country’s future.

After this lesson, I feel more aware that everyone has a role to play. I want to be part of a generation that helps Singapore grow by embracing diversity, supporting each other, and staying open to new ideas. Together, we can build a Singapore where everyone belongs and can succeed.

In this lesson, I learned that some people think being “Singaporean first” means putting that identity above others like culture or ethnicity. But others believe it’s hard to focus on just one identity because personal and cultural backgrounds are still important. Big events like the Olympics or National Day make the Singaporean identity stronger, but in daily life, people often balance many identities at once.

The lesson also showed how community places like hawker centres and parks help bring people together. Programs like National Service and Total Defence Day encourage Singaporeans to work together and care for the country. These efforts help build a sense of belonging and keep Singapore united.

In these lessons, I learned how countries work together through diplomacy and trade. Diplomacy means talking peacefully or taking stronger steps to protect a country and keep good relationships. Groups like the United Nations help solve problems without fighting. Singapore’s success depends a lot on managing these relationships well.

We also learned about global value chains how products go from ideas to people and then get recycled or thrown away. Countries in these chains grow faster and create jobs. Since Singapore has few natural resources, it relies on trade and imports. But Singapore’s strong points like a skilled workforce and political stability help attract business and grow the economy.

Now, I understand that Singapore’s place in the world depends on how it works with others. I want to learn more about these global connections and how Singapore can keep improving and protecting itself.

In these lessons, my team participated in an online debate about immigration in Singapore. We had to post at least four arguments supported by credible sources. This process made me think carefully about my opinions and whether my reasons were strong enough. Reading other teams’ counterarguments showed me that immigration is a complex topic with valid points on both sides. It taught me to look at the issue from different angles before forming an opinion.

We also connected the debate to the idea of the rule of law and how Singapore balances its own interests with global responsibilities. Immigration affects many areas people who move here, how communities interact, government policies, the economy, and Singapore’s image worldwide. I realised that immigration is not just about numbers but involves real people, social values, and the country’s future.

In this lesson, I learned how Singapore stays strong despite having few resources. We face many challenges like relying on global trade and foreign workers. As the Education Minister said, Singapore can’t depend on others; we have to work hard and keep improving. Resilience means turning problems into chances to grow through innovation and teamwork.

We also talked about trade-offs, like how foreign workers help the economy but can cause social tensions. Every decision has both good and bad effects, so balancing them is important for Singapore’s stability.

This lesson showed me that resilience is not just about the country it’s about how each person can adapt and help. I want to be open to change, learn about challenges, and support fair solutions. Resilience is a continuous effort to face challenges and grow.
