Young children should be educated with the right things since young as parents usually are the ones that instill these prejudice or misconception thoughts in their children by doing certain things like ostracising certain groups of people that lead to generations that have the same misconceptions . ]]> 2021-09-27 03:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/taywanling/305sschap6/wish/1769904393 https://padlet.com/taywanling/305sschap6/wish/1769905116 we can find out more from the the foreigners by going to their common spaces. such common spaces include meeting people from other countries during national service, during school, during grassroot events, at common living spaces, or at IRCC. we can interact with respect and without any prior stereotypes of citizens from other countries. when we remove the prior stereotypes we once had of citizens of other countries, we would not have any kind of prejudice against them. we would also not have any misconceptions against them too. in turn, we can be more open minded towards learning a thing or two about their culture and their lifestyle back in their countries. we then can learn to interact with them too.]]> 2021-09-27 03:46:08 UTC https://padlet.com/taywanling/305sschap6/wish/1769905116 https://padlet.com/taywanling/305sschap6/wish/1769906960 We can address these challenges by avoiding strengthening prejudice. We can be more aware of prejudices caused by incomplete understanding or information about people of different nationalities, races and ethnicities or socio-economic status. We can also be more open to interactions and understanding others.]]> 2021-09-27 03:47:02 UTC https://padlet.com/taywanling/305sschap6/wish/1769906960 https://padlet.com/taywanling/305sschap6/wish/1769907463 Nowadays, the youth should be taught about every common misconceptions among variety of races during CCE lessons in an engaging manner, so that students can be reasonable in their prejudice whenever they got tensions.

Through this, people would have better understanding of other cultures and races as hey learn about each other through events. and they would develop mutual respect for each other. Thus, they would not have misconceptions about other races
Moreover, with equal education opportunities, there would also be racial mixing and everyone would have equal opportunities to get jobs]]> 2021-09-27 03:47:57 UTC https://padlet.com/taywanling/305sschap6/wish/1769908773 https://padlet.com/taywanling/305sschap6/wish/1769909247 Government should focus more on providing more common spaces. As common spaces provide physical experiences, values and common experiences, when people of different backgrounds learn these together, it gives them the time and space to bond and accept others' shortcoming. As such, these people will not look at each other as if they are different and they will feel that their all the same. This will provide them comfort and sense of belonging in Singapore.]]> 2021-09-27 03:48:11 UTC https://padlet.com/taywanling/305sschap6/wish/1769909247 https://padlet.com/taywanling/305sschap6/wish/1769909556 the government should host grassroot events for the community so that the public can gain better understanding of culture and customs of other races. through these community events, stereotyped races have the opportunity to converse with the public and possibly erase their stereotypes]]> 2021-09-27 03:48:21 UTC https://padlet.com/taywanling/305sschap6/wish/1769909556 https://padlet.com/taywanling/305sschap6/wish/1769909701 Government can take initiative to communicate with the foreigners to find out about their opinions and views with regards to the problems faced. With these, we can generalise these problems and resolve it individually.
Next, we should also encourage Singaporeans to interact with the foreigners more to boost and strengthen their relationships. With stronger relationships, singaporeans will not have that much stereotypes as they got to know them much better, hence the society will be more peaceful.

There are many opportunities to have racial mixing in school which may prevent the fostering of prejudice and discrimination from young. In CCAs, everyone regardless of race, work together towards a common goal.]]> 2021-09-27 03:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/taywanling/305sschap6/wish/1769909872 https://padlet.com/taywanling/305sschap6/wish/1769912519 Within these common spaces, people of different cultural background are able to interact with each other. For example, schools. Meritocracy gives every citizen a chance to enter any education institutions regardless of race, language and religion. This provides opportunities for racial mixing and fosters social cohesion. One is Co-curriculum activity promote closer bond among youths from all races. They value every member in the team regardless of race, religion or background.]]> 2021-09-27 03:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/taywanling/305sschap6/wish/1769912519 foo_ming_hong https://padlet.com/taywanling/305sschap6/wish/1769913598 Be aware of prejudices cause by incomplete understanding or information about people of different nationalities, races and ethnicities or socio-economic status
The government can also address these gaps of understanding by creating common living spaces. Public housing provides common living spaces and shared facilities which increases the chance to mix with other races. During these interactions can foreigners be able to educate locals on some misunderstandings. Community centres, playgrounds and recreational corners creates opportunities for citizens of different races to come together to promote social interaction. By creating a connection with foreigners, locals can understand and relate to foreigners.]]> 2021-09-27 03:50:18 UTC https://padlet.com/taywanling/305sschap6/wish/1769913598 https://padlet.com/taywanling/305sschap6/wish/1769916194 We can address the problem by National Service. This is because through this service not only are they serving their nation but they are also sharing bonds with each other as they talk with each other and this can help clear the misconceptions. For example, people of all races and religions are able to communicate and share experiences with each other. This allows for the perfect opportunity for people to under stand each other and clear misconceptions about the other races. This can be done through events or eating after booking out.]]> 2021-09-27 03:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/taywanling/305sschap6/wish/1769916194 iancheowe https://padlet.com/taywanling/305sschap6/wish/1769916201 The government can launch public common spaces for people to interact and reduce the tension within each racial and foreign groups. Through interaction with different people, the people get to understand each other better. People also get to understand other races'/country's cultures and practices. With better bonds with other races/foreigners, people will not need to restrict their circle of friends to their race but can expand it out to other races and foreigners in Singapore and help improve the unity Singapore. ]]> 2021-09-27 03:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/taywanling/305sschap6/wish/1769916201
