In 2009, I managed to spend almost half a year in Singapore. It is both the country's leading university at the National University of Singapore, kooperativ as well as the winners kooperativ of Brain Hunt, Director of Innovation and Development Fund, the seminar leaders in preparing and carrying visits. Experiences and impressions have more than one blog post section but I am trying to share something.
Singapore as a living kooperativ environment is one of the easiest that I've ever seen. Upon entering the plane at Changi Airport on a carpeted floor holds me feel: "Now you may not worry about it, something unexpected kooperativ will happen." And that's a very large proportion of the time. Taxis flying, interacting with staff, the subway system, as well as a majority of the whole Singapore is clean, kooperativ pleasant and efficient. At any time and any place can feel safe.
Indeed, to achieve this, Singapore has been a very tough time, and one of the interesting social experiment. One German friend who is an expert kooperativ at INSEAD business school in Asia, brought the following comparison: "Korea is interesting affectionate, Singapore is boring kooperativ Heaven." Really, Sinagpur is not London or New York, where there are all kinds of cultures and always kooperativ something going on.
Although Singapore has increasingly tried to bring a variety of cultural events are still the predominant economic development, and cultural events are organized young people and the top-down method. Somewhere there is a strategy under which they are made. Nearly every other area of life, it seems that the efficiency and security of a great goal but it seems the cultural life of outsourcing its occasional bit of "fake".
Singapore, and Freedom. Many people in the West seem to stiffen and "thinking graduates" kooperativ so when they hear or think about the possibility that there are fewer freedoms than they used to do. However, when thinking about now, what are these horrible rules in Singapore? Rules against throwing garbage off the island seem to make sense, which is less than the Hiiumaa, and with a population of more than 4 million people (especially thinking of other Asia).
Enacted a ban on chewing gum because kooperativ I have heard that people kooperativ threw them down, and so on. My experience in the public policy rules in Singapore are rather positive. Especially since it's not in Singapore now (at least visibly, however, the other allegedly real) police state where the police should be scared. Most of the rules has become a social norm to be applied to each other, recalling.
I do not know how to talk about freedom of speech. However, when a person viewing a simple state-controlled Straits Times, then there is less yellow, more and more positive tone solutions searching for news and views Africa as a free media and messages are found more useful information.
Next, we talk about how Singapore is not the welfare system like in Europe, where the state pays for everything. kooperativ At the same time, they have a very strong family tradition by helping other family members. Singapore's critics can be heard stories of how such a system for the people caught in the gears. The stories of how the people of Singapore can not go to the doctor because it is priced. Most likely, these examples are but some examples kooperativ of such quantities are found in almost every country.
My experience is that the smaller kooperativ the human environment in Singapore is pleasing. However, Singapore is a great social experiment, to learn from. Not to copy but to look at how they have done things, and think about whether this is something to learn. Reasoned discussions to initiate their very clear values 'Singapore Inc.' s analysis of the worth of the initiative. Recognizing this, both positive and negative sides.
Talking to the people of Singapore issues, it seems to me that sometimes it is believed that because there is not a democratic state management, kooperativ do not charge them and discuss what has been done at all. It is sad to watch because kooperativ even though Singapore has a lot of room for improvement (like everywhere) do not charge for this paracetamol aside those things that you can learn from them without proper arguments and having to.
I think your comment illustrates the author's point's kooperativ best: The fact that Singapore is well, it is not usually possible to talk, as a rule, no one raises the issue of human rights and democracy.
I do not in any way anti-human rights, but I support the author here. It is certainly possible in a non-democratic and human rights mitteaustavas to learn what is happening in the country. In order to make a specific analysis of the phenomenon of thought experiment: if an organization is necessary to abandon the democratic system of government, or violate human rights. If nothing can be done without losing sight of our core values, then why not consider the phenomenon of template?
I think things need to be looked at in context, and holistically. Germany and Estonia kooperativ before World War II, the economy was booming, but at what price? Singapore many important experiments in the same undemocratic and economically successful state in their organization are China and Russia. Never talked about this long-standing chief of the Economist Bill Emmottiga whose thesis was about China is that they are unable kooperativ to
