Topic: Explore other ways to foster social cohesion in Singapore.

Done By: .HaoJie=P

For many years, Singapore has been researching for ways to create an identity for Singaporeans, example: National Anthem, National Pledge, National Flower, Merlion, Singlish and others, however most of this does not seem to be as effective in uniting Singaporeans as expected.What seems to be uniting Singaporeans, is the need to work together which then bonds them closer as friends, growing up to lead Singapore towards having racial harmony.

To foster social cohesion, first of all, aim for the people around you, your neighbours and friend of course! Social cohesion is almost like making friends with the people around.

Communication is important! Both in creating or preventing conflict, however in this case it's to prevent conflict while promoting harmony.Chat about almost anything under the skies, studies, current affairs, new girlfriend?!

Being generous is also important! Helping them when their in need, sharing our joys and difficulties, bonding faster than we would know, this way we would also understand more about each other.

Understanding each other, may be one of the most important, knowing each other's strength and weakness. Supporting each other using our strength to help their weakness, this way we can be united and strive as one.


HaoJie says:

Social Cohesion isn't too hard, it's just that people are unwilling to let go of their differences. Treat everyone as an equal, that way we can all work together like good friends, happily. :D
