Week 14: Start: The social minded global citizen in us


In today’s post I would like to share about my views on socially conscious world citizen in us.

As many of us know, the world is developing rapidly in terms of technology and infrastructure; physical boundaries between countries become much less apparent.

Many people in Singapore have to give in to reality by been ‘selfish’; thus, many are working very hard for the 5C's, (Car, Cash, Condominium, Credit Card & Country Club). We have been brainwashed into becoming self-centered and self-interested human beings by having the intention of wanting the BEST and being one of the BEST and Rich.

I strongly believe that if the society weren’t so realistic, many would love to help and there would be less news on robbery, cheats etc. Once, we share, we care, we love for everyone. Now, we still share and care and love but for ourself. And if we were to look into the recent SMRT case, I actually feel bad for the drivers. They have no choice but to come to Singapore to earn a living and we Singaporean not only take them for granted but we also mistreat them by asking them to go back if they are not happy.

I ask myself, aren’t we suppose to thank them for helping us to do the job that not many would want to do due to the low pay and heavy workload. Why are we calling them names, taking them for granted and giving them a hard time? I believe that no one would want to feel inferior especially when they are in a foreign country.

Don’t we still have that heart for the community and the less fortunate? Therefore, I believe that in the heart of everyone there we are socially conscious; we just need to show it. A little smile and friendly gesture by each and every one of us will really make a difference. And the world would definitely be a better and more loving place to live in. And with the kindness and generosity of Singaporean, I believe that we can do a better job than any other people! SMILE (: BE A TRUE SOCIAL MINDED GLOBAL CITIZEN
