1. Yes, we think that these social experiments should be carried out in secondary schools. This experiment can expose the secondary school students to different groups of people in the community and make them understand their daily lives. If the elderly who are involved in this experiment are feeling lonely, this experiment can also make them feel more included and maybe this companion can also remind them of their children.
2. We think that as individuals, we could be warmer towards the community and be less cold. If we all could be more kind, friendly and considerate to the people around us, they can all feel included. We should also take initiative to care for the people around us.
3. They could be afraid of the judgement from other people and they are scared that they would be treated differently or seen in a different light because of the disabled.
4. Most Singaporeans are not comfortable interacting with the disabled and do not understand them well enough. Although they sympathise with the disabled, they usually do not take the extra step to get to know them and their needs better.
5. The government could make the voices of the disabled heard. They could have community activities where the public could really interact with the disabled. They could also have more social experiments like the one in An Unexpected Friendship, where a random Singaporean pairs up with someone disabled. This could really let them understand the disabled more through the interaction.
6. We could be more open-minded and considerate. If we come into contact with a disabled, we could take the first step to talk to them. First impressions and slight judgement are inevitable, but if we learn how to push them aside and get to know them better, they could feel more loved and accepted into society.

Stereotypes are deeply rooted within them and the community is segregated because of their different culture and race. The community will not be united as one and there can easily be conflicts because of difference in tradition, beliefs and behaviour which can cause misunderstanding.

What barriers/challenges does the community face

# data[].attributes.body
- restraining themselves because of their stereotypes
- the elderly are afraid to go out as they think that people may see them as a nuisance
- actual judgement form the community
They fell very hurt when the people around them judge them as “weird and disgusting old people”. One of the elderly was troubled by constant uncontrollable spitting, people would always shed away from them as fast as they could.
-some elderly are abandoned by family
Family sees them as “trouble” and abandon or ignore them - thus the familial environment is not good, and the elderly feel unsupported whenever they feel like doing something they’ve never done before. They’ll never do what they want in this unenvouraging environment.

# data[].attributes.body
- stereotypes the society has of them
- language barrier: some of them speak dialect

- generation gap
- family left them -> sad/lonely
- neighbourhood is mostly elderly, so don’t really get a chance to interact with other age groups

# data[].attributes.body
mobility challenges
because of their mobility, it is not very convenient for them to move around in their daily life, so they find it hard to communicate with the community. they do not have anyone to communicate with and will thus be very lonely this might cause some of them to fall into depression

# data[].attributes.body
Lack of convenience because of the messy areas and makes mobility difficult which causes a lack of bond throughout the community because everyone is staying at their own homes and not going out of their doors to go and talk with one another

# data[].attributes.body
The family does not spend time with them
they feel lonely, no one to help them (helpless) , no one to lean on
emergency alarm button in the house is placed too high for the elderly to reach when they fall on the floor

1. what makes people poor?
it might be because of their family background, being born into a poor family is not their fault.
3. the title of the video is “invisible singaporeans”. why are these singaporeans invisible?
these singaporean’s are invisible singaporeans because even though they are part of singapore and is a singapore citizen, they are not recognised and people treat them differently just because of their “class”.
4. what can an individual do to help or include these invisible singaporeans?
an individual can be more welcoming to these people and not stereotype them or poke fun at them just because of their social class. they should not discriminate but instead should take the time to understand them and their culture or how and why they became poor.
