1) What does SARs experience tell you about the Singapore community a decade ago?
Before the SARs incident, Singapore took everything for granted. During the SARs they suffered alot but in the end they managed to overcome the SARs by fighting against it together. So from then on they learnt to not take everything for granted.

2) Identify the values that guided the actions that were made in the welfare of others during the
SARs experience?
Harmony and Determination

3)Why is it important for you to be concerned about and involved in the challenges Singapore faces?
When Singapore faces a particular circumtance, we as citizens should be involved in overcoming the challenges as it is our duty.

4) As an active and concerned member of the society, describe one way you can contribute to
keeping the Singapore Spirit alive in times of peace and stability?
I could ensure that I do not make any racist comments against other races and religions.

1. What does the SARS experience tell you about the Singaporean community a decade ago?

The SARS experience tells us that a decade ago, Singaporeans were also tightly knit together, with doctors and nurses risking their personal health to continue nursing the weak and sick, and groups of people spending time to gather and make tea for the ill.

2. Identify the values that guided the actions that were made in the welfare of other during the SARS experience?

Selflessness, courage, determination, dedication.

3. Why is it important for you to be concerned about and involved in the challenges Singapore faces?

It is important as Singapore is a nation that is ours, and thus it is only right that we are involved in them, as in the end such challenges would affect us.

4. As an active and concerned member of the society, describe one way you can contribute to keeping the Singapore Spirit alive in times on peace and stability.

Every small move to keep the nation together counts, be it doing things like organizing community events or simply taking part in them. Doing things like what those people were dong during the SARS period would also help us keep the spirit alive.

The SARS experience tells us that Singaporeans are capable of working together as a team, developing social skills, teamwork, helping the needy that were infected with the SARS virus, where many others had given up hope, the doctors strived through all of the hopelessness and the selfishness in the world and helped develop the cure.

2) Identify the values that guided the actions that were made in the welfare of others during the SARs experience.
Selflessness as hard working doctors worked day and night and risked their lives to help the poor, defenseless people that had contracted the Sever Acute Respiratory Syndrome.
Commitment as the doctors worked day and night, forgoing sleep for many long hours of the day, striving to develop the cure for the epidemic at the time, SARS.

3) Why is it important for you to be concerned about and involved in the challenges Singapore faces?It is important for us to be concerned about and involved in the challenges Singapore faces as we are all living under the same roof, the nation we know now as Singapore,  we have to help each other out in our dire times, to make living together passionate and enjoyable for everyone, that is the importance of being involved in the challenges Singapore faces.

1) What does the SARs Experience tell you about the Singapore community a decade ago?
The SARS experience tells us about how our nation worked together as one to overcome SARS. It also tells us about how selfless our people are through the various methods of giving out free cooling tea, doctors working around the clock and the government taking necessary precautions.

2) Identify the values that guided the actions that were made in the welfare of others during the SARs experience.
Bravery, courage of the doctors who helped out during the SARS period. The selflessness of the citizens was shown through their actions of boiling and giving out free cooling tea.

3) Why is it important for you to be concerned about and involved in the challenges Singapore face?
Because Singapore is our nation and we must be proud to help out with our nation's problems and challenges. We as Singaporeans have to uphold our nation's name and pride.

4) As an active and concerned member of the society, describe one way you can contribute to keeping the Singapore Spirit alive in times of peace and stability?
Simple measures such as giving out free masks during the haze already contributes to keeping the Singapore Spirit alive. This small acts build up as a whole to make our Nation proud. Even helping a blind person cross the road in Singapore is more than enough to contribute. Every single thing counts.

‘If you were in charge of writing YouTube’s Community Guidelines, what would you include?’



Setting the Context:

YouTube’s Community Guidelines are the ‘rules of the road’ for our users when posting content and engaging on the platform. They outline the level of responsibility, which is expected of all users. The Community Guidelines are linked to from the bottom of every YouTube page under ‘Terms’ and are written in clear, easy to understand, jargon-free language so that all users can be clear on what the YouTube rules are.


Students break into groups of 4-5 and each group should post their Class (Community) Guidelines in order of importance on the Class Blog. Post as Comments.

From this list, as a class, craft a Class Pledge on Social Media Guidelines and post it as a new entry in Class Blog.
