(usually applies to mothers) the single parent has bad luck and people whom they are close to will end up with bad luck too, though it's the older generation who thinks of the latter being the reason behind single-parent households. hence, people would not want to be associated with people from single-parent households and would tend to shun away from them

Supporters of the traditional family unit cite studies which show that a two-parent household is better for children. Those who grow up with only one parent do less well academically and emotionally, partly because they are without the perspective of one gender.

The single-wage family is less financially stable. In America, links have even been drawn between crime and children of single-parent households. There is also a worry that legitimising single parenthood will add to the erosion of the traditional family unit.

The first one is the lower social class, and they are almost all the time viewed as inferior. They are viewed as uneducated, and sometimes even "dangerous". The second stereotype is of the higher social class, and they are seen as job-stealers, who take away all the jobs from native citizens.]]> 2017-02-15 01:27:20 UTC https://padlet.com/rheanne_tan_t/fmxnmvtq4l7j/wish/153903351 https://padlet.com/rheanne_tan_t/fmxnmvtq4l7j/wish/153903721 people stereotype indians/malays to be very abusive, especially towards their wives or children. this leads to another stereotype that they are very dangerous people and should be avoided at all costs. these associations originate because of a few past reports on indian fathers abusing their children, and about them raping students. naturally, since indians in our society are the minority, the majority of chinese tend to think of indians negatively, which leads to racial discrimination. ]]> 2017-02-15 01:30:06 UTC https://padlet.com/rheanne_tan_t/fmxnmvtq4l7j/wish/153903721 https://padlet.com/rheanne_tan_t/fmxnmvtq4l7j/wish/154285492 Society views single-parent households as a result of extra-marital affairs/pre-marital sex which leads to the perspective that single parenthood is bad for the society, therefore keeping their distance from single-parents. An example is from the 2015  Singapore General Elections where NSP's Kevryn Lim spoke out on the disadvantages of being a single mother and fought for single parent rights.

The Singaporean government has already been trying to mitigate these circumstances by trying to implement policies that give unwed mothers the same rights as wedded mothers such as baby bonuses, HDB eligibility and the same amount of maternity leave. However, the government cannot solely be responsible for helping single parents hence acceptance must come from the public to welcome single parents into our society,]]> 2017-02-16 13:07:29 UTC https://padlet.com/rheanne_tan_t/fmxnmvtq4l7j/wish/154285492
