Lack of General knowlege in Singapore teenagers

[rayzong]

Do you think that Singapore teenagers lacking in General knowledge as they dont really watch news or read newspaper often? Even if they do, it will be just selective items that they are interested in such as Parties, latest games, etc

What do you think?

That;s strange. Aren't most teenagers only interested in fucking and having fun since the beginning of time?

Blame it on our Leaders for providing them with such comfortable and pampered lifestyle.
太舒适的环境就是最危险的时刻,很习惯吃不了苦.

The same exact question was asked more than 20 years ago. Only difference then, we did not have internet.

Chin Peng joined the CPM at 15 and became SG at 23. Lim Chin Siong was in his early 20s when he took part in politics. Even Old man was old at 36 when he became PM.

Far cry from those heady days...

If you keep Sporeans ignorant it's easier to control them.

However ignorant people will have a diifcult time competing in a global market. Thats why Spore is loosing out against our neighbours

Majority of them are this -> facebook and sms. They don't read the newspapers. They have no curiosity about how the world works. They are only curious about what's on their friend's facebook. A whole nation of peeping toms and wannabees.

Sporeans are made from the same boring mould: primary school, secondary, pre-U, NS, Uni...

Other than studying what other ECA do they do Shopping? Eating?

Work life isn't any better, lunch time conversations are usually about cars, coe, home prices

General knowledge are very broad based. Local medias are sterile. Given the luxury of having access to the internet, why bother reading papers and watching mews 5.

I voted NO.

They do not lack Gen. Knowledge, they are more exposed to facts and have more opportunbity to travel than any generation before them.

They lack Heart. They have tuition in math, language, sports, whatever. But they really need need tuition in etiquette and civic sense.

It is the older generations that lack general knowledge. But they had heart. Even the gangsters.

Cheers!

When I was in Canada I noticed a pattern with most Sporean students.

Typically what happens was that in their free time they would mix only with other Sporean or Malaysian students. When it was the summer holidays most would go back to Spore & come back when classes started again. This was repeated for the duration of their studies.

After they finished their studies many only had superficial exposure to life in Canada

Many working Sporeans might travel more, but what do they pick up when they travel Most only go for the shopping & visit the usual touristy places so they can come back & tell their friend about their "foreign" holiday

After years of brainwashing it's not easy to break out of the Sporean mentality.
