    David and Goliath Essay

    • 2198 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Once a small fishing village with almost no natural resources, Singapore has flourished into a point of pride for the world. As Nicolas Berggruen, a famous French investor and philanthropist said, “Singapore was created out of the swamp, with a strong emotional idea: a safe place mostly for Chinese, but accepting other cultures and other races.” Singapore had been at a disadvantage for most of its early age, until the achievement of its first world status towards the end of the 20th century. Much of this success can be attributed to the first prime minister of Singapore, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew. Malcolm Gladwell in David and Goliath emphasizes the results when ordinary people confront giants and categorizes giants as, “powerful opponents of all kinds – from armies and mighty warriors to disability, misfortune, and oppression.” Singapore overcame such odds through the right decisions made by a key leader of this city-state through strong legislation, stringent laws and a favorable geographical location. Based on Singapore’s success, I agree with Gladwell that underdogs can use unconventional methods such as turning disadvantages into advantages. Economists might argue that Singapore’s GDP is lower than most leading countries which I agree with. However, when taking into account GDP per capita, Singapore ranks as one of the world’s most successful countries, proving its ability to turn its disadvantages into advantages. This is important because countries in Asia benchmark themselves against Singapore to judge how well they do, which in turn affects the rest of the world economically. They can also learn from Singapore as an example.…

    Cross Cultural Communication opened up my eyes to some pretty basic things that you just never really put names to. The best lesson I learned was on cultural empathy. The idea that you don’t only tolerate another culture, but you understand it at its most basic level is incredibly important in how you connect with other people. A lot of my best friends are actually international and live in other countries. One of my best friends ever lives in Greece and looking back on our friendship, I realize how I subconsciously underwent the process of cultural empathy by asking her about the different practices she went through and the different ways she understood American culture and society. Unfortunately, I did not do the same with my German ex-boyfriend who lived in Germany which probably could have saved a lot of grief on my end.…

    When I went to the art museum, I had no idea that I would come into contact with one of my favorite Impressionists artists. I spent hours walking through the museum, gallery after gallery. Each piece was beautifully created. I saw portraits, prints, sculptures, all eccentric in their own way. My family, quickly paced, moved through the maze of colors with lightning speed. As for me, each one had an intricate story and detail that I was determined to learn.…

    As an art student, I find the art that we learn about in class very interesting because it is art that I would never be interested in, but yet after learning the details I enjoy them. Although I don’t mind learning art through power points, I find physically looking at art more enjoyable. Getting the whole experience of physical artwork is a more exciting way to learn and catches my interest more, which is why I was so excited to visit a new museum and look at some art. For this assignment I decided to go to the LACMA museum. I have been to many museums before, but I have not visited the Los Angeles County Museum of Art yet so I was very excited. I find a lot of art very fascinating, but I am more interested in the more contemporary and modern arts. I am a design major so I was drawn to the sculptural art pieces that were displayed outside the building. One piece in particular that I found very beautiful and fascinating was an outside display entitled “Urban Light”.…

This includes interaction between tourists and locals resulting in exchange of values and preservations of local customs and heritage. Interaction promotes understanding, appreciation and mutual respect for each other’s traditions and cultures. Mutual respect promotes preservation of local customs and heritage. This includes American tourists visiting Singapore to have a trip at cultural museums like Asian Civilisations Museum and see Hindu Festivals like Deepavali (row of lights) and Ratha Yatra (Chariot Journey) which are celebrated in India and Indian dominated areas like Little India, Singapore.

    In August 1997, Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong launched the Singapore 21 Committee with the aim of strengthening the “heartware” of the Republic in the 21st Century. This comprised of five subject committees that were formed to study the pertinent issues Singaporeans would have to face in the building of such a new society during the 21st Century. Some 6,000 Singaporeans from all walks of life were then consulted for the time span of one year in order to understand their concerns and aspirations. At the end of this period, a report was published consolidating the results of this study. It served as the basis for the Singapore 21 Vision as adopted by the Republic.[1] By examining this Vision, the essay seeks to understand the nation-building process in Singapore as well as the role that Singapore 21 plays in the process. It argues that Singapore 21 functions as part of the ideological layering of nation-building and also serves to concretise the government’s approach towards this process. Hence, the essay will first discuss the aims and objectives of the nation-building process before the launch of Singapore 21, subsequently evaluating the role of Singapore 21 in the overall nation-building process.…
