how to decide what is good for society (chp 3 ss), SRQ Qns 7, reliability,…

- - - - basic needs: ppl often agree on basic needs for survival, like water, food. shelter
      - needs for well-being: vary among individuals e.g. someone sees a job as a need but someone who has more wealth doesn't see a job as a need
    - - someone's interest can be another person's need e.g. an elderly may exercise as a form of interest but another is instructed by a doc
    - - interests: refers to things that are directly or indirectly related to the fulfilment of needs e.g. someone who sees having a job is a need could have an interest in owning private transport for daily commute
  - - - in sg, land is needed for various purposes like education, housing, business, and recreation. given limited land, it is crucial that land use is optimised so the current and future needs of ppl are met
  - - - while a decision may benefit society in general, it could have a -ve impact on certain grps of ppl
        
        e.g. building expressways would improve traffic flow for commuters but may disturb those living near the expressways by the noise
- - - - it is projected to serve 600000 commuters everyday, increasing to over 1m in longer term
      - it will have the highest no. of interchange stations, with almost half the stations on the line linked to existing rail stations
      - while some ppl agree on some benefits the CRL brings to society, there were disagreements on which route it should take
    - - it presented to sg gov its views on how the CRL would affect habitats within the nature reserve
      - NSS recommended adjusting the route to skirt around rather than passing under the reserve
- - - - 3.3.1 having good leadership
        
        to ensure country's stability and progress, leaders must be honest and capable
        
        they must be courageous to make right decisions for the country, even if they prove to be difficult
      - 3.3.2 anticipating change and staying relevant
        
        by looking forward and taking sound actions early, the gov can minimise threats and maximise opportunities for the ppl of sg
        
        e.g. sg's efforts in tackling rising sea levels. in 2020, a budget of 5 billion was set aside for the coastal and flood protection fund to help the country meet the significant risks of rising sea levels
      - 3.3.3 a stake for everyone, opportunities for all
        
        entails giving citizens a say in decision-making
        
        when citizens feel that they have a stake in sg's future, they develop a greater sense of belonging and become more willing to be involved in working towards the good of society
        
        thus, opportunities are created to encourage citizens to share their views on policies and decision-making.
        
        e.g. engagement with citizens through the sg together movement. launched in jun 2019, citizens are encouraged to partner the gov and one another to shape and act on their shared future in areas they care about. this can be through partnership opportunities or gov support for citizen-led initiatives.
        
        emerging stronger conversations (ESC) series was part of the larger sg together movement. the sessions ran from jun to sep 2020. they involved 16900 citizens from diff backgrounds, languages and experiences who expressed their hopes for how sg can emerge stronger from covid
      - 3.3.4 practising meritocracy
        
        refers to a system that distributes opportunities and rewards according to merit
        
        ppl are rewarded according to the efforts they put in rather than factors like race, religion, fam background etc
        
        when ppl are rewarded based on their abilities and effort, they are encouraged to work harder
