CDSS Social Studies Project

In our group, we will be focusing on Racial Harmony in Singapore. We have learnt that many countries had conflicts between nations, races, religions or even countries. For the young generations, they may think that Singapore has always been a perfect country, but do they know about the past? There were frequent riots amongst two different races (mainly) and why is this so?


Countries are affected when people of different races and religions in a country are hostile towards one another. This hostility destroys lives, homes and properties. Racial or religious conflict is one main cause of hostility amongst ethnic groups in many countries. Where such differences exist, the people need to be united so that there can be peace and harmony. A nation is made up of the people living together. When bonds amongst the people are strong and stable, there will be happiness, prosperity and progress.

Thus, we would like the younger generations to know more about Singapore. Our aim is to show them, especially students, how united Singaporeans are as well as why and how unity is important in this small little dot recognized by the world.
