Also , there will be less racial discrimination as people would understand how they feel as well as the consequences of it .

3)How would any sensitive topic about religion be solved if an argument were to occur]]> 2017-08-02 06:21:39 UTC https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929453 https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929463 1) Living in a diverse society allows everyone to understand, accept and treat equally anyone who seems different, rather than fear them or shun them. It also allows us to learn more covfefe about other cultures and how their practices came to be.

2) When you want to be married to someone of a totally different race and culture, it is hard to compromise as both have rules which cannot overlap with each other. 
3) After seeing how muslim women wearing hijabs and nijabs in America are harassed, raped and killed just because they are different, seeing muslims wearing their cultural clothes everywhere without a fear, for example in the mrt, teachers, and in white collar jobs, really relieves me and makes me really grateful that we have come to be this accepting. ]]> 2017-08-02 06:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929463 https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929554 1) living in a diverse society ensures that everyone understands each other's race, culture and religions better and also allows more communication between people in order to live harmoniously

2) However,there are many discrimination and hate comment from the other country towards Singapore or even within the society like what the videos has said.
3)The diversity in Singapore is more globalise and it can be improve.

2) However, living in a diverse society also has its downsides, caused by individuals who do not learn to accept other races and religions. This will lead to tension and conflicts within the society.
3) Including all minority races, how many races are there in Singapore? What are the different branches of Christianity? Singapore is not an entirely accepting country towards foreigners, there are people who dislike us, saying we steal their jobs and 'foreign talents', but there are also good people in Singapore, and fortunately, they make up the majority.]]> 2017-08-02 06:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929589 https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929593 1) -Living in a diverse society allows us to meet people from all walks of life and respect their culture

 -Living in a diverse society also allows more connection and understanding between different cultures 

2) Living in a diverse society may lead to problems such as clashing of perspectives and also values people uphold

3) People should be more open minded and not stereotype or label a group of people based only on the people they met because not every single person in a race or religion is the same. ]]> 2017-08-02 06:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929593 https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929594 1) Living in a diverse society allows people to learn new cultures and traditions.
It also allows people to make friends with other races.

Living in a diverse society helps us learn to respect one another and treat everyone equally.
2)A disadvantage of living in such a society is that there will definitely have thin lines of segregation.
3)how can we overcome such problems?

2) Our society becomes one that is accepting.

2. Marriage between differing religions have unwanted outcomes such as confusion in upbringing of children.

3. Will national identity be a question mark with so many different cultures/religions in our society?]]> 2017-08-02 06:25:13 UTC https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929617 https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929618
1)Allows people to have more exposure to the different practices and cultures of other people, so that they can learn and understand the significance and the reason why other races practice certain actions and be respectful of these races. Additionally, a diverse society gives is the chance to try and enjoy other aspects of other races, such as the food or clothing.
2) There may be clashes in views of a variety of aspects such as the usage of public spaces for certain races' celebrations or discrimination of other races that could lead to unwanted tensions or worse, riots.
3)How does the government maintain the harmony and equality among the races in Singapore? Are there polices or schemes that are in place to maintain this harmony we live in?

]]> 2017-08-02 06:25:15 UTC https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929618 bellariztoh098 https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929620 1) Singaporeans will learn to be more accepting and respectful of different cultural backgrounds from a young age so there is less discrimination in Singapore.
We can learn more about their cultural practices.
2) It causes us to involuntarily create stereotypes for each of the races and makes us feel obligated to follow them. As that is what we are exposed to since we were young.
3) I disagree that we should change our religion for the sake of marrying into another family. Religion is something that is personal and should not be taken lightly in the event of marriage. Under pressure, the groom/bride will feel obligated and pressured to make a decision fast, so it may be an impulsive decision that does not parallel to what the heart says.]]> 2017-08-02 06:25:18 UTC https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929620 https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929622 1)Living in a diverse society allows people to understand different cultures better.

Another positive outcome is that it allows people to experience new cultures from other races and foods.
2) A negative outcome of living in a diverse society is that people may not be able to see eye to eye with one another and end up discriminating one another due to different religions and races' practices. This will end up in conflict between the races and religions.
3) Are Singaporeans really okay with the fact that Singapore is a diverse society?]]> 2017-08-02 06:26:00 UTC https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929648 https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929657

Living in a diverse society can expose us to different cultures and traditions of races different from ours, leading us to be more open-minded and harmonised as a nation. It will also allow us to better understand one another, bringing ourselves closer as friends, as a country, as a nation.

2. However, people from different races may still discriminate people of another race due to the cultural differences and practices.

3. If our society is so diverse, why then would our official language be still Malay? Wouldn't English be more suitable?]]> 2017-08-02 06:26:27 UTC https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929662 https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929681 1.livinng in a diverse culture gives us more knowledge of the different cultures and helps us to be more acceptable towards others
2. due to the difference in cultures there may be clashes of certain beliefs leading to conflict
3.when will this "diverse community" be an inclusive one]]> 2017-08-02 06:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929681 https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929695 1. We can express our individual cultures with one another. We also can learn to be more open-minded in terms of accepting and embracing these cultures. For example, Chinese people can also enjoy Malay food.

2. Living in a diverse society does not mean all good as we can have conflicts against one another because of our differences. For example, racial riots were present in Singapore's past due to racial differences

3. It seems that only the major races are considered to be in the 'diverse society', how about minorities like Filipinos, are they treated equally or are ostracized?]]> 2017-08-02 06:27:06 UTC https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929695 https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929708 1. Living in a diverse society is easier for one another to understand each other and try to accept one another's differences in race, cultures. another positive outcome is that everyone will be able to learn something different from one another.
2. However, living in a diverse society may cause conflicts. as we may not know when we say something it can be quite offensive
3. Is living in a diverse society important?]]> 2017-08-02 06:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929708 https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929715 1(a). People are able to  enjoy foods from different cultures and maybe understand how the dish came about and its orgins
1(b). People would be able to experience the way other culture and religions go through their every day life and understand the concept of the motive of doing it
2. People might mistakingly do something that is offensive to another religion race or culture and that could trigger an uproar of anger
3. Are we really the "inclusive society" that Singapore is talking about?

]]> 2017-08-02 06:27:20 UTC https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929715 https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929725 1i) Different cultural products; food from different cultures, accessories from different cultures- living in a diverse society generally increases the range of products in aforementioned pocket of society.

1ii) Teaches people how to deal with people different from them in general. Living in a diverse society, if one decides to tolerate other traditions instead of accepting them, negative feelings may be harbored. The person can either directly confront others and find a compromise between comfort and other people's traditions, or learn to accept those traditions.

2) Different traditions/culture creates inconvenient schedules or topics that cannot be talked about due to respect issues. Potential conversation topics able to be discussed without the issue of respect is gone.

3) Being judgmental towards other topics/people is perceived to be a negative trait but the first way(impression) to understand a topic/person is through an existing perspective which is a stereotype. ]]> 2017-08-02 06:27:26 UTC https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929725 https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929755 1. Living in a diverse society allows everyone to be able to interact with people of different races. Through these interactions, people can better understand each others religions and cultures.
      Living in a diverse society also allows us to be more understand and adapt easier to our surroundings as we have to be understanding to other people of other races and religions when they perform religious rituals or traditions which are being passed down from generation to generation.
2. One negative outcome of living in a diverse society is people tend to stereotype others and categorize them according to races and religions like "Malays are rude" or "Chinese are loud and irresponsible" just because they met a person with not a very good attitude.
3. What can we do to further maintain the peace and racial harmony in Singapore?]]> 2017-08-02 06:27:54 UTC https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929755 https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929766 1) Living in a diverse society would allow us to be exposed to other different cultures and be sensitive to the need of others.
2) We might sometimes be unable to get what we prefer as we also have to consider about the needs of others.

2)There might be conflicts between the people as they may not be able to understand the differences between each other.Some people may feel excluded just because they are different from the majority.


3)How can we further improve ourselves so that that there will be lesser  problems between the people of different races and religions]]> 2017-08-02 06:28:26 UTC https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929777 https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929795 1.Living in a diverse society allows people to be more accepting,regardless of their race,religion or language.We can also learn to be more open minded and learn to accept others' cultures and practices.
2.Some people are not so open and they may discriminate people of a different race or religion.
3.Living in a diverse society may lead to some clashes between people of different races or religions.]]> 2017-08-02 06:28:51 UTC https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929795 https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929829 1) Singapore is a diverse society and we have learnt to accept each others differences. Even though we share different cultures, we do not discriminate one another. 
2)Most singaporeans have accepted each others difference. However, conflicts do happen when it comes to the different practices of race and religion. It takes time and acceptance to be able to not create conflict for example in marriages
3) I like how singaporeans do not create troubles for one another due to our differences.

This allows them to gain more knowledge and become wiser when it comes to making a decision because they know more about what is happening. 
The other positive outcome is that people can enjoy things that can be found in other race an religion like food and can expose themselves to different type of things or find their interest.

2) The negative outcome of living in a diverse society is people will sometimes have conflicts over different opinion of something. It is because other can be born with a different environment, culture and experience that they have a very different view on some issue. People that did not accept the view may feel very different or even offended so people may quarrel. Sometimes this may cause a very big problem to the society.

3) How do other people solve their own conflict over something?]]> 2017-08-02 06:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929923 https://padlet.com/charissa_qiu/px9hk9gff16a/wish/179929956 1)Singapore has a diverse society which allows us to be more accepting and more respectable to a certain race or religion
