Since Singapore’s establishment in 1965, the government of Singapore had adopted a genre of paternalistic leadership in many areas (Lee, 2008). Personally, I have so far taken the view that it was the most fundamental thing for this tiny oriental country. The persuasive example is the ban imposed on chewing gum in the 90’s. Despite the Singapore government was titled as a dictator somehow after this incident. Here is the chewing gum story indeed happened in Singapore. In the 90s’, chewing gum was nobody but put on shelves in Singapore’s stores. But there was a certain period of time, the SMRT (Singapore’s subway transportation system) was frequently on the blink and could not shut the automatic doors of the train. The maintenance staff had
The first step to blowing a bubble is to get the right kind of gum. I would get bubble gum, because if you get other types of gum that can make bubbles but not as big they will pop easier. Some types of gum taste like bubblegum others taste like mint. But it doesn't matter what color the gum is or the favor. When you open the gum you should smell bubble gum if that is the type of gum you are using Some gums are also stickier than bubblegum when they pop, making them harder to get off your face.
Have you ever taken a bite into a fresh piece of gum and just died?The first chews of gum are the perfect way to start a soon to end experience. The way your tongue dissolve the booming flavor like a baby kicking for the first time ,but it's not the first time...it's maybe the 100th.Or like meeting someone you heard of ,but not met personally .The exciting part is when you're in the middle where the flavor is shy, but acting out at random moments. You chew and chew and chew and chew and chew and chew and with every bite into that clumped of piece of gum filled with saliva and 10 million thriving bacteria. The minty air rushes through your nose relieving your breath of a deadly stench…...and then it ends out of nowhere, but you chew and chew
Chewing gum can help you stay attentive for a long period of time. Researches has revealed that chewing gum can advance concentration in visual remembrance tasks. This study focused on the potential welfares of chewing gum during an audio memory task or solving problems. In order to establish the truth of this research an experiment was tested giving reliable results at the end. In this experiment there was three groups involved; the group without any gum, the group with fruit flavored gum, and the group with mint flavored gum. Each group solved different levels of worksheet; easy, medium, and difficult. While solving the worksheet, each group were being timed in order to compare and contrast the results of how long it took the groups to solve
SMACK! SMACK! POP! The teacher quietly pulls me out in the hall and ask if I have gum I sadly say yes, and I have to throw it away. I am going to try to make people able to chew bubble gum in class. What is really wrong with gum it’s not bad . People in our middle school or even elementary have probably been written up millions of times or have been told to throw it away a million times because they were chewing bubble gum. Bubble gum isn’t a crime so why should people have to throw away their store bought bubble gum that cost money. I think people should be able to chew bubble gum during class to take things out of you head that you don’t need to think about .
One of my biggest pet peeves is hearing people smack gum with their mouths open. To keep myself from freaking out and hurting someone’s feelings, I have had to try to change my behavior. Instead of confronting someone about it, I remove myself from the situation.
hit in the 60’s and as cocaine made its way in the 70’s, it was the “it” drug of the era. It was very popular amongst celebrities, executives, athletes, and the very rich. Even with its infiltration of the nation, the federal government didn’t get as involved as it did when crack hit the streets. The DEA mostly targeted big smugglers and major dealers. Cocaine started to get a negative rap only because of the violence and killings that started to come with it. Those who were out to stop the crack epidemic had something else in mind- to target the users. The users were the same users as those who used powdered cocaine. The Drug-Abuse Act of 1986 was the law that separated crack from cocaine in the eyes of the law. When crack cocaine first
From here on, gum does help society in many different ways. Gum helps you with better smelling breath, calm down stress and help you focus more. And an another fact is, North American kids spend about a half-billion dollars on bubble gum every year, which translates to 40 million pieces every day, 1.6 million every hour, 26,000 every minute or 444 pieces per second. Now that you learned more about gum you can chew it knowingly. Now you go out there and chew and tell everyone about
Although many people think all school rules are understandable, some school rules that could be dispossessed. The school rule about chewing gum, candy, and food could be disregarded easily. So if one school rule could be vetoed, not being able to chew gum, candy, or food should be vetoed.
Have you ever wondered if you should be allowed to chew gum in school? I think we should be allowed to because it helps with focusing on so many things. Research shows that chewing gum in school can help you concentrate, and remember things better. So many people say it shouldn’t be allowed in schools because of irresponsible students. They are scared that they will dispose the gum in the wrong places. The delicious treat that many people like to chew on is a great thing for schools everywhere! Students should be allowed to chew gum in school.
Gum, a tasty treat to chew on, but this treat can result in affecting your health. Studies defined that chewing gum can cause a person’s jaw to be used to temporomandibular joint disorder. The nasty treat that people touch or see can make them disgusted, chewing gum makes public, or private places unsanitary. In addition, chewing gum in experiments didn’t really help students to regain memory. Chewing gum should be prohibited in Middle schools, for students wellness, and health.
However, the development of Singapore’s society cannot be predicated on pure economics alone. Even though globalization has enabled Singapore to fare well in economic development, however, termed the perils of success, globalization has brought about undesirable
The Republic of Singapore celebrated its 42 years of independence in year 2007. Situated at the southern tip of Malaysia, Singapore currently holds a population of 4.68 million as of June 2007. At 704.0km2, it is ranked 4th in the world for its population density. During the past four decades, the economy as measured by real Gross Domestic Product (GDP), multiplied by over 20 times (Ghesquiere, 2007, p.11). As a small and extremely open economy, Singapore long term survival is very much dependent on the ability to maintain its viable position and remain afloat in the sea of global competition (Mun Heng et al, 1998, p.14).
Singapore and Malaysia were both similarly colonized by the British. However, their development after independence differed in many ways. In this paper, I will examine, with help from resources provided in the course and minimal research, how their colonial experiences affected their political and social development after independence. After which, investigating the depth of influence their colonizers had, and why, differing racial ideologies had the greatest impact on their development.
While the initial sparks of Singaporean nationalism may have stemmed from being under the British colonial rule or arose due to the brutality that the people were put through during the Japanese Occupation between 1942 to 1945, it is difficult to ascertain exactly when the start of Singapore’s nation building efforts began. Characterized by the process where a large body of people associated with a territory commits to its own government, I would define the start of Singapore’s nation building process from the time its people started to strive for their independence. In this essay, I would argue about how the Japanese Occupation was indeed, a significant turning point that led to cultivation of Singapore as a nation.
It legitimizes their authority over the people and justifies its autocratic rule. However, when insisted that pragmatism be the only philosophy for governance, its fixation with achievement of a restricted set of human aspirations, justified by “concrete” end results, leads pragmatism, an initially open-minded philosophy, to evolve into being an uncritical ideology. This result is also the very concept that pragmatism opposes. Hence, the practice of pragmatism in Singapore might be regarded as only serving the ruling party and not its people. This then leads us to think whether pragmatism should be retained as the main principle of Singapore’s governance. If not pragmatism, what
