= they argue for different reasons (eg. some for legal status, others for common identity)

= the 3 aspects are important and related

= without legal status, an individual won’t have rights -> will not want to integrate and develop bonds in a society

= without having a sense of common identity, there won’t be pride in being a citizen -> he/she may not want to be involved in important aspects (like wanting to defend the country)

= only with a common identity will one want to participate actively in public activities

= participating in such events helps to build common identity]]> 2022-06-07 10:18:54 UTC https://padlet.com/seetohashtonowo/v6tdxsqq7d7du9fa/wish/2213433355 seetohashtonowo https://padlet.com/seetohashtonowo/v6tdxsqq7d7du9fa/wish/2213449804 1. Descent:

- a shared belief that people belong to the same country

How? :
- When citizens share a common way of life and have strong feelings on similar things as other Singaporean.

Eg. In SG-common practices-singing the National Anthem, reciting the National Pledge and taking part in events such as National Day celebrations -> gives us common identity

Why? :
