After watching the videos, respond to the questions below:

1)From the video, what are the differences in the financial situation of the people in the first video and the people in the second video?

2)What does this tell you about people of different SES and what is likely to be their way of life?

3)How does this contribute to diversity in society?

1)From the article that you have read, how do you think that people across different nationalities have made Singapore more diverse?

2) there is more than one group of people in society, making it multiracial and diverse idk

2) Sharing of different cultural views and it widens people's perspective

This allows mutual recognition and respect of each others ethnicity and religion, and also builds social resilience and gives rise to a more positive form of diversity where everyone accepts one another.

2) People mix with one another, They tend to interact with their neighbours, classmates and friends. We are also in a small area of land, so there is close proximity.

2) People from different backgrounds will interact more, and know more each other's religions and cultures.

2) the different races come together - cultural awareness: people eat food from other cultures (e.g. food fusion), people wear other ethnicity clothes (e.g. international friendship day)

2) It gives people the opportunity to communicate, learn and to respect each other.

2the diverse races introduce different practices into singapore

2) many people of different backgrounds can share their culture and experience other ones, giving rise to diversity in society

2) this allows us to interact with those that do not share the same culture as us and be able to gain new experiences through learning more about others way of life bla

2) having different races and all can give us a wider perspective. We will be able to understand different races and have wider choices in terms of food, clothes and others. It can also teaches us to be more open minded since we know that different religions have their own doing and beliefs. It can also give us more diverse friends and we can have holidays like multiracial which spreads awareness.

2) multiracial society fosters harmony, inclusivity

Q2) I think that this gives rise to diversity in society, as the many races are at peace with each other, even though their beliefs are different, resulting in diversity

2) There are different ideaolgies which may cause a divide.

2. Diversity rises as the vastly different cultures must live in close proximity with one another. People become more understanding and respecting of cultures different from their own. Therefore, this creates harmony.

I think this gives rise to diversity as people learn to work with others and learn about other's. This will make Singapore more inclusive and diverse.

race shapes your appearance,

ethicity shapes your upringing, and your tendency to do certain things.

in singapore all these different things give rise to a culturally diverse melting pot of people.

2)--> Singapore is multi-cultured and accepts most of the religious holidays or activities. Singapore accepts many different religious events and encourages citizens to celebrate together.

2) People with different races create diversity among citizens which promotes harmony. More culture can be promoted in the society too

There will be different people with different beliefs, values and traditions living side by side.

2) more variety of food

2. People of different races and religions will interact with each other. This way, they can learn more about different cultures and be more inclusive

2) For the people of low SES, they struggle from time to time, always having to make ends meet. People with high SES, have little to worry about when it comes to lifestyle and self management. However they have things to worry about such as heirs and take note of accounts

3) People will feel that there is a certain gap between the two worlds. They may feel distanced or even envy, Which cause unrest.

2) People with low SES struggle more in their daily lives.

3) There is a gap in wealth between certain families. People have different experiences with money. Some people can do things that others don't because of the wealth difference.

people of low ses will tend to be frugal and save and skim every bit of food and money possible, while people of high SES will tend to be more consumerist, not bothering to care about fiances and money as much

2) They enjoy spending and lives happily

3) Share different experiences, but also have wealth gaps

second video: individuals have the freedom to spend as much as they want, are not bothered by spendings

2) individuals from poor economic status have a poorer quality of life filled with financial burdens, while those of high economic status have a good quality of life free of worries and have the freedom to indulge as they wish

3) there is a clear gap that divides society based on their financial status and quality of life

2) While the poor learn to be more frugal and resilient, the rich forget the impact of their spending

3) Class division: different way of life

2) the people with lower ses might be more stressed as they have to worry about whether they will be able to survive while people with higher ses are much more carefree regarding finances

3) they have different habits and ways of life which contribute to diversity in society

There is an emphasis on financial deficit in video one while video two shows how rich people spend their wealth without a second thought.

Worser SES leads to greater focus on financial observation and management, while better SES leads to increased lavish spending with little focus on conservation of finances.

There will be an invisible split within society of people who are rich and people who are poor. This can lead to worser diversity as many feel upset about wealth inequality.

2. People of different SES live life differently and some have more considerations about their spending then others. For example, someone with a low SES has to consider everything before even spending money on something that people might even consider simple but someone with a high SES has almost no considerations

3. This diversifies Singapore as there are people of different SES and people that think and live differently

They are able to spend as they like, not needing to think about how much money they left or if they are spending too much.

2) ppl with lower SES would have to spend money more carefully and to save up every cent. They have to teach themselves how to spend minimum amt of money just enough to live.

ppl with a higher SES can spend money for a more luxurious life, to get better hotel and to travel frequently.

3) although they are all living in Singapore, there's a diverse of how ppl is able to spend and how their standard of living varies.

2) People with low SES have to struggle to make ends meet while People with high SES are more capable of making ends meet, even being able to meet up with celebrities and enjoy a luxurious life.

3) There is a major gap between people with high SES than people with low SES. Those people with high SES can enjoy things that people with low SES cant

2)This tells me that people of different SES live their lives differently. The less wealthy would need to rely on others and also worry about their loved ones especially the children.
3)There is a huge diversity of families ranging from homeless(very few as they get help) to the very wealthy who has the privilege of even looking at a real life bungalow.

3) It contributes to division in society as there is a difference in the people's class, whether they can do anything they want, or do they have to live off governemnt support.

2. For the lower SES, they are more cautious over their spending and would plan ahead while those of higher SES would spend without hesitation and are willing to spend on their favourite things and giving themselves the constant pleasure

3. People would have different views and perspectives of the world around them through the environments they have lived which would contribute to better ideas and solutions that would benefit society

2. this shows me that the quality of life for people with low ses is a lot worse than the people with high ses

3. this helps to diversify the society as there will be people with very little allowance while others will have an extreme amount of money to spend

2) People with low SES has more struggles in their daily life.

3) There will be a big difference in the way of life of the low SES and high SES

--> to some people thousands of dollars is just pocket change while to the others that's a large sum of money

--> some people spend excessive amounts of money on luxuries and nonessential while others barely have enough to buy necessities

2)

--> wealthy people are likely to lead extravagant and lavish lifestyles, having more life experiences than those with lower socio-economic status are likely to be frugal and have limited life experiences such as travelling around the world

3)

--> difference in their backgrounds, lifestyles etc. will lead to diversity in society

2) People with low SES often focus on survival and basic needs. They may have fewer opportunities, face more stress, and have limited access to resources like education or healthcare.

People with high SES usually have more opportunities and choices. They can focus on personal growth, hobbies, and long-term goals because their basic needs are already secure.

3)These differences contribute to diversity because people have different experiences, lifestyles, and perspectives. it makes society more diverse, as people come from different backgrounds and bring different viewpoints. However, it can also lead to inequality if the gap between groups becomes too large.

2.Those struggling financially will not be able to enjoy some activities as they cost them extra money they could not afford to lose. Therefore, they are often more stressed. The rich however, would often not care about how much items cost. Therefore, they live a life without stress of ever not being able to afford the things they need.

3.This contributes to diversity as it gives the community many different experiences and unique perspective.

Q2) People with more SES are able to spend their money on practically anything while people with less SES have to save their money to feed their families

Q3) This contributes to diversity in society as some people may be able to splurge their money and indulge in unnecessary things while others have to work hard for it

I think that people across different nationalities made Singapore more diverse by offering different viewpoints. For example, in Herme Xhika"s case study, it is shown that, by starting an air conditioning company, he helped to dispel the stereotype that all white guys hold high positions.

People across nationalities come together in Singapore to make an impact or a change. They bring their own culture and ideas from their home countries to Singapore, making Singapore more diverse. Moreover, these people see the problems that Singaporeans face and work to give solutions to them. For example, Mr Hermes Xhika saw the year wide heat issue in Singapore and attempted to fix it. He decided to make money by servicing air conditioners.
