For example, “A 16-year-old was charged in court on Tuesday with uploading online materials intending to wound the religious feelings of Christians and making remarks on Mr. Lee Kuan Yew that offended people.” (Chong, 2015).However, it is apparent that there are a number of youths who view academic results more important than some moral values like responsibility, honesty, and respect. 2.Moral Values

Get on the Balcony by Ronald A. Heifetz and Marty Linsky brings a lot in perspective especially when thinking about how to approach leadership in a class that focuses on us as a person and how we recognize certain things within and without. One of my favorite examples that was used was the dance floor scenario, it brings a lot into perspective when thinking deeper into matters. Sometimes by being on the “dance floor” you miss a lot of details and minor things that you would only be able to catch

History The Future of Freedom In his book, The Future of Freedom, Fareed Zakaria writes that we must make democracy safe for the world. The American democracy sets the standard around the world for liberal democracies, but transitions across for other countries across the world toward a liberal democracy is often difficult and with poor decision making, close to impossible. Liberal democracies are the systems in which people choose their government and live in an environment of freedom. In Zakaria's

"The [Singaporean] government has frequently referred to Singapore 's population as its only natural resource and described education in the vocabulary of resource development” (Lepoer, 1989). The Global Information Technology Report has Singapore as a world leader in the quality of their education as well as Internet access provided to their schools (Dutta, Geiger, & Lanvin, 2015).

The belief has been endorsed by many political leaders, Singapore’s former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew suggested that the ‘Western concepts of democracy and human rights will not work in Asia, by explaining that the West is too individualistic compared to family-orientated Asia. ‘What Asians value may not necessarily be what Americans or Europeans

Much of the country’s success can be attributed to Lee. The reason he was able to do such great things because he was true to how he gained his power, which he got by being liked among his people and sharing their beliefs. He never took his power for granted and he would remind his co-workers that as well

I agree that the main reason for formatting nation-states is nationalism. Nationalism can be defined as a combination of patriotism with sensation of nation, it includes patriotism and nation concepts (Hayes 1960: 2). Kohn (1955) defines nationalism as a state of mind, each person will be piety to their state highly because of their nation-state (Berberoglu 2004: 6). Nation-state could be defined as a group of people who have the awareness to community which share a common culture, past memory and

Civil Liberties Singapore suffers from several constraints regarding freedom of speech, which directly impacts the atmosphere of the country’s political and civil systems. Freedom House scores their civil liberties at a 32 out of 60. Domestic newspapers, radio stations and television channels are owner by companies linked to the government and it is rare that a newspaper publish critical content involving the government due to general support of state policies (FreedomHouse, 2015). Although the

During World War II, Singapore was conquered and occupied by the Japanese Empire from 1942 to 1945. British Military Administration was formed to govern the island until March 1946. Much of the infrastructure had been destroyed during the war, including electricity and water supply systems, telephone services, as well as the harbor facilities at the Port of Singapore.

Leadership Critique When talking about greatest leaders in our daily lives, I always tend to look for characteristics of the Great American President Abraham Lincoln, Singapore’s first prime minister Lee Kuan Yew in people who are touted to be leaders.
