      ~ Even a little impact made by one person can help.
      e.g. In the fire, if even one person had helped, at least a live could been saved.

      ~First Aid can come in handy in such situations when many people was injured.
      e.g. If an injured person is unconscious, first aid can be used to awake him.

      ~We should not be racist.
      e.g. Look down on a different race other than yours because of culture reasons.

      ~We should respect other religions belief and celebrate their events together
      e.g. On Chinese New Year, all races can celebrate together instead of only Chinese.

      ~We should communicate with other races and not with our own only.
      e.g. In school, Chinese should talk to malay, indians and other races rather than speaking to only Chinese.

    2. We should not encourage racism and we should respect the other races' like how we should treat ourselves. We should also constantly treat everyone equally so there would be no prejudice.

      Delete
    3. We must be sensitive to each other's race, religion and any differences. We must make sure that we are careful with what we say. We should also make friends with people from other backgrounds.

      ~ HDB policy provided more space for foreigners to enter Singapore and more people can get engaged with not only their race, but with other races.
      e.g. A Chinese can have a Eurasian neighbour and they can chat about their culture. Both benefited and learnt from each other.

      ~With HDB policy, all races in Singapore each has a representative quota of homes.
      e.g. Everyone is equal and there is no racism.

      Delete
    3. In HDBs, all races live together, so there would be racial harmony between all the races, by introducing the EIP and that they must live together in the HDB.

    1. This is social & psychological defence.
      Evidence:
      Miss Andrea Lim, the patient at Tan Tock Seng Hospital. Remembered the dedication of the nurses, who spent long hours nursing her back to health. Mr Hannith Mahbob picked up healthcare workers when they were rejected by other cabbies because they were afraid of getting SARS from em'.

      Delete
    2. Civil defence:
      Everyone helped one another during the SARS outbreak, like the nurses in the Tan Tock Seng hospital worked long hours to nurse patients back to health.

      Delete
    3. Social Defence. Nurses and doctors risked their lives trying to cure the patients infected with SARs. Taxi driver Mr Haniff Mahbob picked up healthcare workers when they were turned away by other cabbies.
      These people were selfless and without them, Singapore would not have overcome the SARs outbreak.

    1. Singapore can have savings and a stable market. Instead of spending all on the country, Singapore can save part of them up. Also, the government should keep the inflation rates as low as possible, so that the savings won't become worthless.

      Delete
    2. Answer:
      We could be more meticulous about our spendings and try to save more for a rainy ol' day. And also, create budgets.

      Delete
    3. We can be frugal and spend as little money as possible and not buy designer products that costs a lot of money. We citizens also can save up our monthly salary for a rainy day(Financial crisis).

    1. To be socially responsible means that people should look out for one another, care for one another and care for society.

    2. We have to be aware of other people around us, not just our family and friends. If we do not help each other as a nation, there would be no sense of unity, and the enemy can just gas-bomb Singapore to cripple its system.

      Delete
    3. Answer:
      We need to think of others and consider our own actions. We should also think ahead and prepare things for the unexpected.
