Our voices should be heard in order to implement change and improvements to whatever the challenges are.  For example, in politics, i think the public should also have a say in what the government intends to do to our country. Some people believe that freedom of speech in Singapore that is not allowed, as we have to ask for permission before rallying about our perspective or what we are against our concerns about social issues and in the government decisions.

The majority would say that it refers to the period when one is alone. Being alone is not necessarily a bad thing. means to not be around anyone. This often allows a person to think and reflect about things that happened. Some may think being alone means one will feel lonely. But for me, I strongly believe that taking time to think properly without any distractions like people is calming and relaxing for the mind. Thus I agree it is good for a person to spend time alone. ]]> 2022-04-29 00:31:39 UTC https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163505090 Guan Hui-INTRO gyssedutech https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163505922 Happiness  is  human emotion which means to be joyful, enthusiastic, delighted or to be simply contented in life. Happiness to me is important and I would fight for it. Happiness comes in many forms. The more common ones are travelling overseas to discover new experiences, eating different varieties of cuisines to experience a whole new culture, while others may simply seek happiness in the comforts of their home. To me, I have a strong sense of adventure /wanderlust which is also my method of finding happiness. It eases the burden off my shoulders and makes me feel at the top of the world. In this essay, I will write about some of my fun-filled and exciting travel experiences. ]]> 2022-04-29 00:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163505922 Shi Qi gyssedutech https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163506038 Therefore, i agree that it is good for a person to spend time alone. I think that spending time alone can help one work on themselves and reduce time socialising. Without spending time alone and always being around many people would not allow you to find your true self. “I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up all alone, it’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel alone” thus being said that, it is better being alone than being around people all the time. ]]> 2022-04-29 00:32:18 UTC https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163506038 Christina gyssedutech https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163506235 Firstly, if a person do not have a place where they have privacy. It could lead to violent and aggressive behaviour for example in a case study done by a psychologist it was implied that prisoners have aggressive behaviour due to the constant surveillance and the sharing a cell with multiple of people which means they can’t have privacy at all . It was researched that a human being that has a place where they can be alone and unwind tends to be happier than the ones who don’t as they can reset their social battery and relax without worrying about others. Hence it is important for a person to spend time alone .]]> 2022-04-29 00:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163506235 Shaoyun gyssedutech https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163506602 2022-04-29 00:32:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163506602 Syafaah gyssedutech https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163506750 I could vividly remember the anticipation when I stood before the ice rink.

So I know someone who has inspired me to overcome my challenges. The person who had inspired me is ex head prefect anarkin. He has inspired me that in order to overcome the challenges in my life , I must not give up. For example,before he was head prefect for secondary school, he was actually vice head prefect in primary school. That shows that he had the drive to want to achieve more. By overcoming the challenges such as his other candidates , he led himself to the head prefect role . Therefore his achievement had inspired me to not give up that easily.]]> 2022-04-29 00:33:11 UTC https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163507078 Kangren- BODY (AGREE) gyssedutech https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163507232 Body-Agree
Freedom of speech is a way of expressing one's opinion of the doings of an individual or community. I think that freedom of speech should not be restricted in any way as this can help people going through the same situation to have a wider view of something so that information are shared and solutions can be improvised together. This allows people to know of something that is happening around them so that they can also share their view about the problem which can be used as feedback to the government or those in charge. Freedom of speech also allow for a change that is suitable and best for everyone. Hence, I think that freedom of speech should not be restricted for a bettee change for everyone.]]> 2022-04-29 00:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163507232 ZiJie gyssedutech https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163507339 However, some may argue that freedom of speech should be restricted as many people do not think when they speak.They do not think of the consequences or inconvenience that what they say brings to others.This may lead to people who speaks without thinking may cause people to feel uncomfortable or even offend them. thus, i think freedom of speech should be restricted to everyone as this will cause many people to not be able to cause any fights or conflict.]]> 2022-04-29 00:33:23 UTC https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163507339 Ernest gyssedutech https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163507731 What is the meaning of happiness?

For example, James Bond is a well-known franchise about a spy that saves the nation while engaging in romantic relationships with different women. Despite its major success, the show has recieve an equal amount of criticism. Feminist critics worry that the show reinforces patriarchal norms in society as women are often portrayed as physical attractive but incompetent, objectifying woman in the process. However, due to the mass support towards the show, it stops people from question these social norms thus reinforcing these stereotypes. Hence, i believe that fiction does not teach us anything meaningful as it only reinforces stereotypes in society. ]]> 2022-04-29 00:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163507935 Ethan gyssedutech https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163508257 i agree that freedom of speech should not be restricted because then the government would not know the real views of their people and they would not know the real problems of their leadership. for example,there are racial discrimination against the african american in the us and the government are not doing much or anything about it this led to many african american to be unhappy with the government and this even led to protest which even the police had to get involved with it. thus, i agree that freedom of speech should not be restricted as it can help the government bring their people together after knowing what the conflicts between different races or cultures.]]> 2022-04-29 00:34:03 UTC https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163508257 Acelynn gyssedutech https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163508455 Intro

Indeed, happiness is crucial for one’s life as sometimes it can do things medicines cannot. Even the smallest things or detail will spark a little bit of happiness enough to brighten up someone’s day.

Little things like this can really turn a bad day of mine to a enjoyable and happy one. ]]> 2022-04-29 00:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163509035 Alden gyssedutech https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163509142 fiction stories were made as a portal for people to unleash their thoughts which are not plausible in real life situations. It is also an escape for people who refuse to face reality. Although ideas in fiction stories maybe bombastic but it will white-wash one's ideology about reality and it will cause one to have misconceptions of the real world as time goes by. In actual fact, fiction stories are poor representations of the cruel reality and it is unequivocal that it will make one delusional about the hard truth of society ]]> 2022-04-29 00:34:49 UTC https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163509142 Jenisha gyssedutech https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163509405 Fiction is literature in the form of prose, especially novels, that describes imaginary events and people. For example, Harry Potter, a fictional series written by the well-known J.K. Rowling, is about a special boy named Harry and his journey through Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The stories tell of him overcoming dangerous obstacles to defeat the Dark Wizard Lord Voldemort, who killed his parents when Harry was 15 months old. Throughout the series, Harry is faced with a different obstacle each school year. Harry had to endure so much in the series, and he persevered through all of it. Through this, he shows us that you can push through even the hardest times, bounce back and succeed. It’s an important life lesson as well. Therefore, I agree that fiction can teach us useful life lessons through the different problems characters in the story face. ]]> 2022-04-29 00:35:02 UTC https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163509405 Jeanette gyssedutech https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163509585 Intro

Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction. While most countries have freedom of speech, there are still a handful that don't. Without freedom of speech countries may not be as united and equal in decision making, so I belive that freedom of speech should not be restricted in any way and instead be allowed in every way.

Many of us should have been exposed to fictions before. Maybe in books for example the RunHideSeek collection by Gabby tye which talks about an apocalypse or in movies like Jurassic Park. Even though they discuss about scenarios that may never happen but it makes us rethink on our choices and usually teaches us a moral lesson. Therefore I think that fiction can teach us meaningful things about the real world.]]> 2022-04-29 00:35:22 UTC https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163509836 Janelle K gyssedutech https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163510179 Secondly, it’s good for a person to spend time alone since having an alone time would allow one to understand themselves much better,  they do not need to go hearing about their friends opinions to where to go to eat or hang out during that outing.

For example in fictional stories a world and characters are develop so as the readers dive further into the book, watching the characters develop overtime.

Fiction allows us to learn crucial values. Examples include enhancing our moral understanding, developing a sense of empathy, broadening one’s creativity, or even aid in critical thinking. Hence, friction is capable in conferring us with various cognitive advantages. Recent research has shown that when we read fiction, we hone and strengthen several different cognitive muscles, so to speak, that are the root of emotional quotient (EQ). It will benefit us in the long run as EQ is essential in helping us build relationships, reduce team stress, and defuse conflict.]]> 2022-04-29 00:36:35 UTC https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163511282 Zahra https://padlet.com/gyssedutech/q9scendx583rcziu/wish/2163516842 paragraph 3 [disagree]

However, spending time alone all the time is not a good thing. While it may be good for someone to have time to be alone with their thoughts, I think it is crucial to communicate to others. According to Mayo Clinic Minute,
being socially connected with your friends and family is not only fun, but research also shows it benefits your mental and physical health. It can prevent feelings of loneliness, increase your sense of happiness and well-being, it may even help you live longer.
