Example: NIVEA advertises their skincare products mostly to women (primarily women models)

In reality, this is not reliable as   people have different needs, lifestyles and self-care habits. This is especially prevalent in Singapore where our various ethnic-religious groups have a varying idea and concept of self-care and improvement in oneself. People of different religions may have different practices of self-care such as meditation in Buddhism and prayers in Christianity and Islamism. Hence our way of self-care may not be that of others.]]> 2022-08-02 06:23:31 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachTogether/9ntjofm4j9r83b13/wish/2253264537 https://padlet.com/TeachTogether/9ntjofm4j9r83b13/wish/2253265887 Given that Singaporeans are rather self-centred, it is unlikely that they, even when engaging in self-care, will go beyond to care for those around them.

Given the growing middle class of Singapore, many average Singaporeans seem to associate themselves with the concept of ‘not having enough money’ to afford expensive items, despite being aware of these products in society. Moreover, with our ‘Kiasu culture’, which speaks of Singaporeans’ fears of missing out on things that are perceived to be better, Singaporeans tend to save more and choose cheaper alternatives. Therefore, this shows that Singaporeans are able to rely on simpler and much cheaper means to find meaningful ways to treat themselves, which as a whole, requires less effort as compared to extravagant self-care methods.]]> 2022-08-02 06:29:31 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachTogether/9ntjofm4j9r83b13/wish/2253267668 https://padlet.com/TeachTogether/9ntjofm4j9r83b13/wish/2253269368 The writer assumes that self-care is universal. However, self care is not the first thing that everybody would prioritise. The nature of Singapore advocates for the importance of our studies and rarely mentions the vitality of self-care.
