I try to restrain myself from commenting but i just can't as
I've seen a considerable number of these posts popping up in the
forums.
First, today, not only the kids have good life but their parents
have too. I just don't understand what the thread starter wants.
Our society has progressed to a much higher level of economic
prosperity, what can you expect? With money, you certainly cannot
expect people to live like the older days where everyone is poor
and just trying to scrape through. We should be happy that more and
more people are using branded expensive goods and eating fulfilling
meals.
However, I have to agree that this has caused some social problems.
With this, there is sort of a visible widening income gap that we
see. Even in the midst of the many well off people in Singapore,
there are those who are still poor and trying to cope. This is
disturbing.
Also, it has to be agreed that some parents are indeed
over-pampering their children. However, I am sure that children
being able to spend and enjoy life more is not the root of the
problem to them using swear phrases and being rude. This problem
from my perspective is caused by influence from friends and of
course the mass media. When I say the mass media, I mean the
western influence. Their movies and shows are glittering with
unfavorable words and phrases which is taken as "cool" and "in" for
Singaporean students.
