"Are Singaporeans gracious and socially responsible? Discuss."
Most Singaporeans not gracious and socially responsible when it comes to certain things, Singaporeans are known as "kiasu" as they go for cheap goods and when they is an illness , everyone seem to hide away, one incident is the recently H1N1 illness know as influenza virus.
Many people have the misconception that the flu bug is harmless and that the flu will ride itself out without visiting the doctor. They are not aware, for example, that it can result in serious complications for the very young, the elderly and those suffering from medical conditions.
The government has to introuduced some prevention poster or reports showing that this illness of the influenza flu is no small matter, they have to hope that Singaporeans will adopt socially responsible actions when they are not feeling well, in order to prevent the spread of the flu.
Another example can be the great singapore sale , as singaporeans are known as "kiasu", they tend to look for cheap goods which are totally at their budget range, and end up regarding their budget, this is an act of showing that they are not gracious and socially responsible.
