• sports, as everyone knows, are physical games or activities that tend to be competitive.

• the most common types of sports, such as teams, individual and extreme sports. Team sports that most people love are soccer and basketball. Individual sports include boxing and track and field. Extreme sports on the other hand are probably sports that the general public wouldn't think of making it a career out of, such as sky diving or paragliding.

• In the 2024 Olympics, breakdancing was introduced as a sport, however, it was shortly removed after the Paris Olympics and will not be part of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, as it did not fit their vision of the Games.

• Sports has taken a sustainable route like sustainable equipment design, manufacturers are looking into eco-friendly materials such as bio-degradable components and recycled fabrics

• Athletes benefit from these technological developments through biometric monitoring, wearable devices now track advanced biometrics like muscle activation and hydration levels. This provides a deeper insight into an athletes performance and recovery.

• Not so recently, in 2021, SUSS (Singapore University of Social Sciences) launched a program "the Sports for Good Fund", this program supports SUSS Competition Groups in creating sports programmes for the underdserved.

In Singapore, several healthcare subsidies and financing schemes support elderly individuals, including the Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS), the Pioneer Generation Package, the Merdeka Generation Package, MediSave top-ups, and subsidies for long-term care. 

Elderlies have routines every morning where they would do light dancing to songs near the parks. They would encourage people of different ages to join them and they would exercise together.

Elderlies needs alot of care and attention so in order for them to have a healthy lifestyle they need to have their families to support them and motivate them through the journey.

• Bart Yasso:

  A marathon runner and endurance athlete, Yasso has raced on all seven continents, finished five Ironman Triathlons, and cycled across the country twice, demonstrating the power of staying active at any age.

In my experience , my grandfather has to always go to his weekly clinic health checkup and it is usually cheaper for him because he uses his CHAS card and it subsidises the bill for him and carries the burden of his cost of living.

Michelle Obama relates to this as she has parenting pressure and emotional strain. She felt stress as she said that parenting affects her marriage =, identity, and mental health.

• schools teach a variety of subjects that will later on help students when they step into the working world.

• Primary education focuses more on the base subjects of Mathematics, Sciences, English and Mother Tongue/ Second language

• Secondary education focuses on the same 4 base subjects but with Humanities and Coursework on top of its syllabus

• Tertiary education, just a step below University, allows students to choose a course they aspire to be in, a course that would allow an advantage in the working world or in University.

• there different types of schools in the world, including: Public schools, Private schools, Magnet schools (public school but with specialised programs such as the arts or sciences), Religious schools, Homeschooling, and Online School (like Home-based Learning but for the entire academic year), there are also schools that cater to special needs students (students on the autism spectrum or cerebral palsy)

• Many children in underdeveloped countries are not able to attend schools as it may be too expensive or that their household could only send one child to school, resulting in about 14% of the global population above 15 years old are illiterate, they do not know how to read or write.

In the past students can only rely on physical resources such as textbooks and worksheets to study and revise for their examination. however, with the advancement of technology , teaching methods have evolved , providing students with a wider range of study tools that makes self revision more effective. one such tool is google classroom, which allows teachers to post instructions and learning materials in various formats like PDFs and word documents , even when they are absent from school . This ensure that lessons can continue smoothly and effectively, and also allows absent students to catch up on their own without needing to trouble their teachers, as all the necessary resources are available online. additionally, google classroom integrates useful features such as google meet , google document and google calender, which not only help students to stay organised but also maintain close communications with their teachers. These tools encourage students to manage their time wisely and take greater responsibility for their own learning, increase self discipline.

lives. technology , make our lives more simpler and easier which allow us to enjoy more in our daily live.

Just for example, 3D printing technology, also known as additive manufacturing is a technology that creates three dimensional objects from digital designs by adding material by layer and layer.

The BMW group has been using 3D printers since 1991,which design components for special models, concept cars, prototypes and race cars as well as for production models.

This practice things bring multiple benefits for everyone. The most important beneficial is that 3D printing uses only the necessary material, minimizing waste compared to subtractive manufacturing processes. BMW's 3D printing cuts carbon emissions. It uses recycled materials, which helps save resources and reduces pollution from car production.

Art can boost the economy as many tourism will occur due to the beautiful art in Singapore. Art can also boost people confidence and their ambition towards art.

• impact on the world: reduces biodiversity, disrupt the ecosystem, have a potential cascading effects that can threaten human beings and the stability of global food system

• kids recently born will not be able to see the extinct animals in real life and will only be able to see them through pictures - this is very sad

• a decrease in a species will cause a decrease in another species due to the food chain

• example: In 2021, Colossal Biosciences, are attempting to "de-extinct" the woolly mammoth by aiming for a hybrid "mammophant" by genetically modifying elephants to express mammoth traits.

Types of Places:

Recent development:

Shanghai’s new green spaces, like NYU Shanghai’s rooftop garden and the Yangtze River Estuary Chinese Sturgeon Nature Reserve, help clean the air, cool the city, and give people relaxing places to enjoy nature. They also support wildlife and fight climate change, making the city healthier and more sustainable for everyone.

FAMOUS PERSONALITIES:

Lee Kuan Yew:

• Singapore's transformation from a developing city to a modern metropolis was due to his leadership. He created the public housing and urban planning.

However private owned vehicles are more convenient in terms of desperate times for example when a person is late but if multiple people it will add on to the congestion on the road which will make everyone more late. On the other hand, public transport is not as convenient as private owned cars but they can help with the congestion on the road which can still result in a person being on time.

Thus, I feel motivated when I see the SBS transit employee of the month because he/she motivates and push me to be a better commuter and person on public transports

wildlife has been affecting people, community in all around the world.

-Due to deforestation, it caused wildlife to lose their habitat which leads to them to find a new home in neighbourhoods nearby.

-When they venture into neighbourhoods, this would make them see humans as a threat and attack them as most humans do not know how to act when they see wildlife and they might provoke the wildlife.

-For example, when humans are trekking they might see a monkey and give them food. I've came across an article where people would feed monkeys and ended up getting attacked as they didn't give them more.

-When there are a lot of people getting attacked, the government will start to implement laws. For example in Singapore, they made feeding wildlife illegal and the fine is up to $10 000. This way it prevents people from getting attacked which educates people about the dangers on feeding wildlife.

positive

-Widlife can help with pest control by keeping pest populations in check. for example, bats save billions in pest control by eating crop-damaging pest, saving our crops supply for humans and animals.

In addition, technology plays an important role in Entertainment and Medias. For example, apps like Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok, Whatsapp,Threads, Youtube and others, allow people from all over the world to meet each other on social media, as well as share individual thoughts and posts with everyone. This helps to promote friendships as well as maintain social well-being. People are also able to listen to music, watch videos as well as be updated by the recent news and announcements, so that they are aware of what is happening in their countries and others, which provides people with basic political knowledge as well as logic senses.
