I think fusion food is a threat to traditional food. Mixing different culture’s food together may cause dilution in culture. This is when you mix different culture’s food which results in the loss of identity. The original ingredients, their place of origin, the way the food is being prepared changes and looses its meaning.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that fusion food is not a threat to traditional food as it does not lose its authenticity and identity or traditional taste but rather emphasises it by combining it with another culture, enhancing cultural diversity and allowing people to enjoy them differently.

I think that fusion food is a threat to traditional food. In today’s age and society, many stallholders are choosing to deviate away from traditional food and introduce the concept of fusion food to attract younger customers. With many stalls at traditional festivals like the Ramadan Bazzar, there is often little traditional food being sold, which defeats the purpose of the event. Source C states “the past decade has seen fewer stalls selling traditional food at the Ramadan Bazaar. There are instead more hipster and fusion offerings, which are sold at much higher prices” . This some highlights that traditional food is dwindling and that overtaking it in terms of popularity is now fusion food. Hence, it makes me have the opinion that fusion food is a threat to traditional food.

# data[].attributes.body
I think fusion food is a threat to traditional food as it dilutes the culture and traditions of the original food by confusing the younger generation. For example, the Nasi Ambeng was "advertised" differently from the original. It's name was changed to "Nyona Nasi Ambeng Trays" and was "served in a rectangular takeaway box". This may sound convenient and the perfect "traditional" meal for the youths. However, it dilutes the original culture as it dismisses the tradition of Nasi Ambeng being "sharing(ed) between family and friends". Therefore, I think fusion food is a threat to traditional food.

the thing about traditional food is that it is unique and it has history and culture in it. The fact that fusion food combines two completely different cultures to it, it is kind of like a disrespect towards the culture because they are two separate things and you associate them together. It is a threat to traditional food and its culture

# data[].attributes.body
I think that fusion food is not a threat to traditional foods. Fusion food can instead be used as a way to promote traditional food. It allows people to experience two cultures at one time and lets more people to learn more about the culture’s food. This lets people have more understanding of a diverse food culture. For example, the roti prata and chilli crab fusion dish has a blend of two different cultures, and allows tourist to experience both at the same time.

# data[].attributes.body
Each food traditionally invented has its speciality and culture based on the people. They may have thought hard to create that dish that is unique to their culture based on their habitat and cultural practices. However, now everything is available for everyone from where we are from but it does not give us the right to change and adjust someone else's invention that may have sentiments for. We may unknowingly change the gist or the peculiarity of the dish so it is best to enjoy a dish and respect the authenticity of it.

# data[].attributes.body
fusion food is a threat to traditional food. source A states that, "the Ramadan bazaars these days have nothing to do with heritage anymore." this shows that most food stalls do not bother to make traditional food to preserve it, and when they introduce fusion food to be innovative, the traditional is often forgotten. the whole point of the ramadan bazaar is to show their culture and religion through food, but much of that culture is now lost through people's attempts at fusion food. hence, fusion food is a threat to traditional food, as tradition is no longer being preserved.

# data[].attributes.body
fusion food is a threat to traditional food. most traditional foods have special meanings behind them or special origins. if it is fused with foods from other cultures, it may lose this significance. this can be seen from source c, which states that many people are 'unaware of the history of the ramadan bazaar'. this shows that fusion food could cause traditional food to lose its importance, and thus they cannot be properly passed down to future generations

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that fusion food is a threat to traditional food. In Source A, it states that 'the Ramadan bazaars these days have nothing to do with heritage anymore.' This evidence is further supported by Source C which states, "The past decade has seen fewer stalls selling traditional food at the Ramadan bazaar." The evidence implies that the Ramadan Bazaars have been overtaken by more fusion foods than traditional ones. We can then see how fusion food seems to be getting more popular, leading to an increased risk of traditional food being less eaten and therefore slowly becoming forgotten. Hence, fusion food is a threat to traditional food as there is a chance that traditional food would soon be overlooked due to fusion food.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that fusion food is not a threat because instead of diluting the traditions, I think that sharing our traditional dishes and recipes with others is a good way to understand each other and hence foster better racial harmony.

For example, the waffle mixed with chilli crab and roti prata dish. When people of another culture try out this interesting dish, it might spark their curiosity on where the chilli crab and roti prata came from which also allows people chances to be curious and find out more about the different cultures behind these fusion dishes.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that fusion food is a threat to traditional food. Source C states, "The past decade has seen fewer stalls selling traditional food at the Ramandan bazaar." From this, we can see how fusion food seems to be getting more popular, this leads to a high chance of traditional food to be ignored and forgotten. When fusion food continues to get more and more popular, people would rather turn to fusion food rather than traditional food, this would lead to traditional food being less relevant in the present day in the culture. Therefore, fusion food is a threat to traditional food as there is potential for traditional food to be overlooked due to fusion food.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that fusion food is a threat to traditional food. This can be seen as in Source A, it states that ‘The Ramadan bazaars these days have nothing to do with heritage anymore’ and in Source C, it states that ‘The past decade has seen fewer stalls selling traditional food at the Ramadan bazaar’. This shows that even seasonal and festive bazaars, like the Ramadan bazaar where many from all over Singapore go to eat traditional food and snacks, are selling less of these foods and are looking more towards hipster and fusion foods which are also sold at much higher prices.

# data[].attributes.body
Fusion food is a threat to traditional food. Source A states that ' Ramadan bazaars these days have nothing to do with heritage anymore'. This shows that fusion food dilutes the culture that traditional food has, giving less meaning to culture, and so makes traditional food be appreciated less and so could cause traditional food to be less relevant.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that fusion food is a threat to traditional food. This is because if everyone decides to create fusion dishes instead of the original, traditional dishes, the younger generations might forget or will not be able to know how the original dish looks or tastes like. （？？？？？？？？）

the moe obs challenge programme provides outdoor experiential learning to develop cohesion among students from diff schools and backgrounds. students learn about the concept of teams allowing them to interact with students from different backgrounds and communicate with one another to solve challenges. one example is during expeditions where they can learn to listen to different opinions and plan as a team to work towards a common goal.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, we think the MORE-OBS Challenge programme is effective as a common space as it helps students understand their schoolmates and students of other school better. Source B states that "Through this challenge, I learnt to be more understanding towards others." This shows that the programme encourages pupils to be friendly and interact with others of the same age, sympathising with their difficulties and plights and hence bonding. From the MOE-OBS Challenge programme, students would learn empathise with others or even get better at understanding, adapt effectively to their disadvantages to make their peers more comfortable and receive the opportunity to talk and bond with them, hence forming a common space and making new friends from other schools and from their own.

# data[].attributes.body
Interaction refers to the act of communication between different people. The MOE-OBS Challenge mixes students from different schools, allowing for more opportunities for students to interact with people from different schools and different backgrounds. Students will experience different activities together, like expeditions, that will help them learn how to understand people's struggles and how to work together by communicating.

# data[].attributes.body
the moe-obs challenge is effective as a common space as the challenge is a social space where different groups of people interact, cooperate or collaborate on projects or activites. For example, source a states that the challenge allows students to "develop ruggedness, resilience and cohesion among students from different backgrounds." as well as how students "explore different ways that they can mitigate climate change." In source B, it states that the student "learnt to be more understanding towards others" and to "encourage them along the way". From these sources, moe-obs challenge provides students with the opportunity to interact with others. Due to the challenges that they have to overcome, they learn to work together through communication and a shared goal to finish the task.
Hence, moe-obs challenge is effective as a common space.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the MOE-OBS Challenge programme is effective as a common space, as many youths from different backgrounds are put together so that they can work along with each other and also understand each other. Source B states that Megan Tay "struggled to understand how her classmates were feeling". However, the MOE-OBS Challenge encouraged her to "slow down her walking pace" and it allowed her to take her time to understand other people.

# data[].attributes.body
- the moe-obs challenge allows students from different schools to come together and “to develop ruggedness, resilience and cohesion among students”. The students are able to get to know different people of different backgrounds through this challenge. For example, students from different backgrounds can bond through the land expedition. The “ learn to be more understanding towards others”, “which is important in enabling them to work with others in the workplace in future”. Thus, through obs, students get to meet knew people, and interact with people of different backgrounds

# data[].attributes.body
The MOE-OBS challenge programme allows students from different schools form into groups, so that they will be able to communicate with each other and work together when given challenges or assignments to complete. Regardless of the various backgrounds and statuses that many students differ in, they have to put their differences aside to work together and communicate more effectively. This instills trust and teamwork amongsts them as time goes by during the 5days 4nights. Through communication and the moments they share together, new bonds can be created and even strengthened despite the different backgrounds amongst youths.

# data[].attributes.body
We think that MOE-OBS is effective as a common space.

Common space refers to a physical location and/or a social space where different groups interact, cooperate, or collaborate on projects or activities.

Thus, in OBS, students from different backgrounds are all gathered together to develop "ruggedness, resilience and cohesion." (Source A)

Students also learn about the concept of teams when planning expeditions and putting into practice their navigation skills when they embark on trips together. (Source A)

Thus, MOE-OBS is an effective common space as it encourages and allows students to do all these

Yes, we think the MOE-OBS challenge is effective as a common space as it encourages students of different race, cultures and backgrounds to get to know each other and bond together.
A common space refers to a physical location and/or a social space where different groups of people interact, cooperate or collaborate on projects or activities. In OBS, the secondary 3 students would have to "work together to solve problems". This camp, where secondary 3 students would have to stay together is a common space.
The source stated, "In time to come, OBS will be the rite of passage and a shared experience for all young Singaporeans regardless of race, religion or background." This shows that the programme is and will be effective as it brings different people together.

The Moe obs challenge mixes students from different schools together, allowing students to interact with students with different backgrounds. Students will embark on expeditions together where they will work together to solve problems and overcome challenges. Source A states that this OBS challenge programme “provides outdoor experiential learning” this provides interaction among the students as students have to work together , communicate and understand our classmates better to foster cohesion among students from different backgrounds.

# data[].attributes.body
We think that the MOE-obs challenge does help to 'encourage interaction amongst youths from different backgrounds'. the challenge provides opportunities to develop resilience and cohesion among students with different backgrounds. It helps students to have more understanding towards others, and encourages students to work together as a team to overcome challenges and solve problems together.

# data[].attributes.body
We think that the MOE-OBS challenge programme is effective as a common space because it helps to mingle students of different races, religions, genders and schools. This can be seen from this quote from source A “The MOE-OBS challenge programme provides outdoor experiential learning to develop ruggedness, resilience and cohesion among students from different backgrounds”. This quote shows that the programme lets students of different backgrounds to learn together, hence providing a good common space for them

The course offers Outdoor Adventure Learning (OAL) experiences for students to work together to solve problems, overcome challenges and embark on an expedition. Such OAL experiences brings out students’ strengths and weaknesses, enabling them to appreciate every member in the team despite their differences and also encourage interactions

# data[].attributes.body
The moe-obs challenge involves bringing together students from various schools to form groups. This setup enables these students to engage and communicate efficiently, fostering cooperation despite their individual distinctions over the course of a 5-day, 4-night camp. A notable instance is seen during team-building exercises, where group members must rely on one another. This reliance is only attainable through working together and effective communication, ultimately forging connections among students of diverse origins.

students from different schools engaging in activities together to improve the community and the environment.

From source A, it says that OBS gives students experiential learning to promote ruggedness, resilience and harmony.This shows that OBS provides an environment for students of different backgrounds to come together for shared learning.Additionally, OBS breaks down social and physical barriers between students and allows them to freely work together and form closer bonds through the land and sea expedition as seen in source B.

Fusion food is not a threat. Traditional foods are created by fusing different ingredients or culinary influences over time, is a common aspect of food evolution. Thus in that sense, traditional food can already be considered fusion food because it's made from ingredients fused together to create the dish. The dish is deemed as "traditional" by majority of society because of their black and white view of categorizing food into traditional or fusion, which is narrow-minded and traditionalistic. The only differences are the dilution the original tradition of making the dish and it's supposed authenticity. For all you know, some deemed as traditional foods could have been fusion dishes of original foods from generations ago.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that fusion food is a threat to traditional food. in Source A, it states that 'the Ramadan bazaars these days have nothing to do with heritage anymore.' This shows that fusion food dilutes the culture and lose tradition of passing down from generation to generation. Hence, fusion food is a threat to traditional food.
