Is Singapore turning into an America? I myself would think so,
but perhaps you think not so. Singapore has lessen its feelings
towards their China heritage and roots. The Muslim or Malay
proportion of the population that is integrated into Singapore is
also very stereotyped. How does this relate to America? The
majority of Americans are caucasian and have a European history or
heritage. But if you look at today, many of the youths and adults
of America show resentment towards Europe - they do not even think
themselves of European. Do Singapores think they are more
Singaporean or Chinese? Mexicans in the United States are very
stereotyped. It is similar to the general dislike of Malaysians by
Singaporeans. However, many agree that it is the leader of Malaysia
that is ignorant and/or stereotypical towards Singapore. No doubt
Singapore is greatly influenced by America, through television, the
internet, fashion, movies, etc.. However, many negative beliefs of
America are floating to Singapore. For example, the general belief
that male circumcision is better formed the Americans is floating
to Singapore slowly. The male circumcision rate in Singapore is
increasing slowly, and this particularly isn't a good thing, to
most people educated on the matter. The nurses or doctors
recommending circumcision may be too influenced by religious
beliefs and cultural beliefs, and America itself to actually
believe in the humanitarian aspects, the truth, and scientific
evidence. Circumcision is never needed - almost all disorders the
Americans believe that people that are uncircumcised get have no
scientific backing. Nearly all Chinese people do not circumcise; is
it the same with Chinese-Singaporeans? The rap culture of America
is not particularly amusing. Even now, the leader of Singapore's
stance with America on the war against Iraq is quite
noticeable.
Is Singapore turning into America in cultural views? If it is, I
strongly think it is not a good thing at all.
