description: it was very hot that day and the sun was shining brightly into our eyes. to shield our eyes from the sun, we decided to wear goggles as they were coincidentally in our bag.

reactions from others: when people walked pass us, they didn’t really care and continued looking at their phones.

reflection: initially it was very embarrassing as we were wearing our np shirts. so we were afraid that people would have a negative impression on np students . however after observing others reaction, that feeling subsided.despite going against the social norm, we found that nobody really cares about what you do. hence we think that people should embrace themselves regardless of what others think. however we think that there is a certain line that should not be crossed . for example if the actions are offensive or make others feels uncomfortable ,  then we should stop.  Overall , we should be considerate to others

Description: wore my shirt backwards

Feelings: I was let down when there wasnt anyone in the corridors but a person finally showed up. I was not that embarrassed but was very curious on how the person would react when she noticed.

Report on others: I dont think the girl even noticed me wearing my shirt backwards or maybe she noticed and just didnt care

Reflection: I believe people dont really care about what others do and even if they do they would probably forget about it the next day.

Description: when i was eating with my friends at makan place , instead of eating with normal utensils like a spoon and fork , i ate my food with a sauce cup.

reaction: people started to stare and  my friends were laughing at me. It wasnt that big of reaction as i didnt affect the people around me for them to really take notice. only my friends noticed.

feelings: honestly i dont feel very embarrassed as it wasnt that big of a deal and not a lot of people stared other than the people i know

violation and reflection: usually people eat with utensils so the fact that i was eating with something else was interesting but for situations like this i shouldnt draw too much attention to myself especially as a ngee ann student

Description: I walked out of the lift backwards this made me feel embarrassed and judged. It is not normal to walk out of a lift backwards and I had to keep telling myself that it is not as embarrassing as it seems

Report on others: I could feel the eyes of the people inside and outside the lift boring into my soul. They looked like they were confused as to what I was trying to do.

Violation of norms : Violation of norms might cause social disapproval Social disapproval can take many forms, such as gossip , ostracism , or even legal punishment.Social disapproval can also have positive effects in some cases, such as encouraging individuals to conform to socially desirable behaviours. However, when social disapproval is excessive it can have detrimental effects on individuals' well-being.

Reflection: We should be socially aware of our surroundings and think about how our actions may be perceived by other before doing it.

Description: I entered the lift with my umbrella opened because… who does that?

Reflection: I didn’t feel embarrassed at first as I was in the lift with people I know. However, when I walked out of the lift, there were strangers looking at me. That was the moment when I felt like hiding my face when there were many eyes on me.

Violation: I think violating social norms can have quite an impact on some people which causes them to feel uncomfortable.

Description: while waiting for the bus to go home, instead of sitting on the empty benches, i decided to sit on the floor.

Report on my feelings: I felt very embarrassed while sitting on the floor in front of the crowded NP bus stop (there were a lot more people behind the cameraman) as everyone was staring at me like I was a weirdo and questioning my actions in their heads.

Report on people’s reactions: I feel like the responses I received vary with genders. I felt like the girls were just looking at me and felt confused. However, the I felt that the guys started talking to one another and telling their friends to also look at me. After a few seconds into sitting, i heard one of them said something like “wtf is she doing sia”. Thus, there were more both verbal and non-verbal responses from the guys more than the girls.

violation: violation of social norms might reflect badly on NP’s reputation as I was wearing NP’s shirt, people will know that i am from NP if i was to do something embarrassing or wrong others can have a bad impression on NP and its students.

Description & feelings:
I felt embarrassed for standing on a bench that was meant for sitting. It took me a lot of courage to take a video on breaking social norms.

Report on others: There was people passing by staring at me with disapproving looks.

Violation of norms: Violation of norms may cause social disapproval. This could result in ridicule and exclusion. Violation of norms can also show if one's values is taught correctly. Severe violation may have serious consequences (eg. fines)

Reflection: We should be mindful of our actions and how they may impact others. This is also one of the ways we show respect to others and promote a harmonious society.

Description: I decided to walk backwards down the stairs cause why not

My feelings: I felt uncomfortable as i could not see where i was going and did not want to fall. Props to the camera man.Some people were looking at me but i did not care as i was more concerned about where i was going

Violation: Violating norms might seem like a funny thing and fun thing to do as a group but in fact,it might just be causing public nuisance and not leaving a good impression to others. But if u do not care and feel happy doing so,go ahead. Live yr live to the fullest. Overdoing it might get you in trouble or viral which is not ideal but if that is what u want, go ahead.Some people might not like what you do and feel disgusted.

Reflection: We should learn to view the different perspective and reflect on our actions before commiting them.This would avoid many people from getting into trouble. If doing that action does not do you or the other party any good,it is best not to do it.

Reflection: We sh

description: I do not usually eat my greens so I decided to have some since I was hungry and had no money on me.

My feelings: I felt uncomfortable as the people around me were judging me. Even my cameraman laughed at me afterward. There were multiple other students around looking at me and giving me judgemental side eyes. But I did not mind because I was hungry and did not eat lunch.

violation: violating social norms may seem funny if it was meant as a joke but some people do that as it seems normal to them. Doing so results in some people being excluded and isolated from the group. Not only will the specific individual be judged and excluded, but this will also lead to a bad impression of the community. People from differing countries might assume that this is the Singapore norm thus judging us and leading to others having a negative impression of Singapore

Reflection: Our actions always have consequences. Even though it might seem normal to ourselves, different people have different point of view. But we should not judge them based on their actions. Everyone is different so we should be a more open-minded and be more accepting of others.

Story: I lost a bet with my best friend as I was betting on the fact that I would not get into Banking & Finance and he was betting I would hence I lost as you can see from the video so I was forced to walk in a bra in public

Reflection: I felt very proud of myself for making it into banking & finance however as I filmed this video walking to my best friend's house I felt low key embarrassed and deeply afraid as there was bunch of preschool kids nearby I was afraid that I would traumatised them or even worse influence them to be like me.

Reactions from my love ones: They all laughed at me and I am glad that I gave them a good laugh to make them happy

Description: I saw the drink stall owner touching the drinking part (lid) of the drink. I find it a little unhygienic to drink from the lid and the drink stall ran out of straws. So, I had no choice but to drink my drink with a spoon I got as it is more hygienic.

My Feelings: I felt very uneasy and embarrassed as someone was laughing at me when I drank my drink with a spoon. Furthermore, it was even more awkward as there were many people around me. I was afraid that they would judge me. This was also the first time that I drank a drink with a spoon as most stalls usually have straws. If they do not have it, I will throw away the drink. However, I was desperate for a drink during the recording of the video, so I had no choice but to drink from a spoon. In order to not feel embarrassed and cope with my feelings, I should have ignored what other people thought of me. Instead, I should do whatever I feel like doing and not seek people's judgment.

Report: When I drank the drink with a spoon, the people around me at that time were people that knows me. That might have been a factor in why they laughed at gave me stares. The location the video was filmed at, is at Ourspace. Since OurSpace is a study place, many people were concentrated on their studies and not looking around. Hence, not many people realized I was drinking the drink with a spoon.

Violation: Violations of social norms are somewhat related to violating NP's values as we are creating bad unnecessary attention to ourselves and to the school. If I were to post the social norm of the internet, wearing a Ngee Ann Poly shirt, and if it goes viral, it will create a bad reputation for the school. Many people might look at my shirt and think that this school is only for people who are silly and that will create bad unnecessary attention to the school when it is clearly my own wrongdoings. Besides being ashamed of myself, my parents will also feel ashamed of me, and the school will feel ashamed of letting a student like that inside their school. Hence, we all should think twice about whatever we do especially if we are posting something online.

Description: I felt very embarrassed and uncomfortable because I was thew only one walking backwards at makan place and there was many students there. I cope with these feelings by forcing myself to get this video done and over with. Also, i  told myself that this is just for a video it does not describe me or show who i am. As a introvert myself i felt that it was quite stressful to film this video.

Report on others: While walking backwards I wanted to talk to my friend as you can see in the video and i instinctively turn to her and talk to her But as you can see she ask me to talk to her backwards which i felt that it was quite weird. Also, to cope with my anxiety doing this i tried not to look at others reaction as i am scared of people judging me.

Violation: I think violating social norms can bring many people unnecessary focus on to yourself. Which brings me to violating social norms and violating NP Values both brings the same reaction of others. As violating NP values is considered as you doing something bad in the public or in school which can bring light to your action.Which can cause the school to feel embarrassed or shameful like how i felt while doing this video.

I lay on a random table in NP for fun.
Feelings: I felt weird and uncomfortable while doing it because many people stared at me with weird expressions. I coped with it as I enjoyed the process of lying on the table. Lying on a hard surface helped to crack my back and I felt a moment of relief. I also coped by telling myself that no one is looking at me.
Report: Their eyes were judgmental. People tried hard to pretend to not look and mind their own business (eg briefly walking away)
Violation: Violation of social norms violates NP values equally, as actions against social norms gather negative attention or poor review from the public. Hence, this ruins the school's reputation.
Reflection: Although it is deemed fun, violation of social norms can lead to overall criticism of school staff and students. Hence, we should always think before we do silly actions.

description: when i was bringing my food to the table, i removed my socks and my shoes and ate. super damn gross. i also crossed my legs and sat on the chair.

report on emotions: i felt really embarrassed but not really because of what i was doing but rather the camera recording me. i am someone that is really awkward with cameras. the taking off shoes and socks was not that bad. i did not really cope with the embarrassment, i just laughed through the pain.

report on others: my friends were telling me to do more stupid things like sitting on the chair with my leg sticking up. some people were laughing at me or just staring weirdly. i was at makan place so everyone about same age.

violation: i think violating social norms can cause quite a bit of a disruption to the community. as one is doing something that is unseen, thus this does not contribute to serving the community well. i think the stakeholders that are most affected are members of the public. it is super gross to see someone barefooted at an eating area.

Description:
I wore a t-shirt backward and walked around in public. I didn't really feel embarrassed or awkward even though there were people around me who were staring at me because if you think about it, most people forget unimportant things or things that don't impact them directly in a matter of minutes. It also helped to think that the people staring at me were NPCs so I did not really care about what people thought about me.

Reaction of others:
As I was near a park, there were a few joggers who noticed and gave me weird stares. I'm guessing they presumed I was mentally unsound as no one in the right frame of mind would wear their t-shirt backward.

Thoughts on violating norms:
I feel that as long as you don't go overboard with violating social norms, sometimes breaking a social norm is acceptable. For example, making direct eye contact during a conversation is a sign of respect and attentiveness. However, avoiding direct eye contact could be interpreted as a sign of respect and humility. Although violating some social norms such as wearing your t-shirt backward may make you come across as a weirdo, as long as it doesn't affect anyone in a negative way it's still an acceptable violation. Not like anyone really cares anyway, they'll forget it after 15 minutes;)

Note: I have no idea why the park was super dark. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Description: I took a walk with my mask upside down and inverted.

Feelings: I felt kind of embarrassed for "messing up" wearing a mask since it's supposed to be a simple task. However, I also felt proud that I was able to build up the courage to do such a thing and step out of my comfort zone.

Reactions: Most people just stared at me confused. However, no one came up to me and told me I was wearing my mask incorrectly.

Thoughts on violating norms: I believe that violating norms can be very disrespectful and rude. It can also reveal what kind of person you are.

Reflection: In my case, I believe that the lesson we should impart is that if you see someone has made a mistake, point it out instead of silently judging them.
