This practice paper focuses on Issue 2: Living in a Diverse Society, specifically examining socio-cultural and socio-economic diversity, identity, and the roles of citizens and government.

Section A: Source-Based Questions (20 Marks)

Study Source A and Source B and answer Questions 1–3.

Source A
An excerpt from a speech by a Community Leader at a Town Hall meeting regarding the introduction of a new Group Home for the elderly with dementia in a residential neighborhood.

"We understand that some residents are concerned about the noise and the presence of strangers in our quiet estate. This is a natural reaction. However, we must remember that Singapore is ageing rapidly. By 2030, one in four Singaporeans will be above 65. Many of these elderly individuals have contributed to building this nation. They deserve to age with dignity in the community they helped build, not isolated in institutions far from their families.

The government has assured us that strict guidelines will be in place. There will be no loud activities after 10 PM, and professional caregivers will supervise the residents at all times. This is not just about helping the elderly; it is about teaching our children compassion. If we push these vulnerable people away, what kind of society are we becoming? We must overcome our 'Not In My Backyard' mindset and embrace our neighbors, regardless of their health conditions."

Source B
A comment from an online forum by a resident living near the proposed Group Home site.

"I have lived in this HDB block for 20 years. It is a safe, quiet place for my young children to play. I am not against helping the elderly, but why must it be here? There are empty plots in other parts of town.

My concern is practical. What if a resident wanders off? What if there is an emergency ambulance siren at 3 AM? Property values in this area might drop if people perceive the neighborhood as a 'care facility zone.' The government says there will be guidelines, but who will enforce them at night? I feel that the needs of the many existing residents are being ignored for the sake of a few. We should support them, but not at the expense of our own peace and safety."

1. Study Source A. What does the source suggest about the challenges of living in an ageing society? Explain your answer using evidence from the source. [4]

2. Study Source A and Source B. How far do the sources agree on the impact of the Group Home on the community? Explain your answer. [6]

3. Study Source B. How useful is Source B in understanding the reasons behind the 'Not In My Backyard' (NIMBY) syndrome? Explain your answer. [5]

4. Study Source A and Source B. "The government’s role is more important than the citizens’ role in managing the challenges of an ageing society." Using the sources and your own knowledge, explain how far you agree with this statement. [5]

Section B: Structured Response Questions (30 Marks)

Answer all questions in this section.

5. (a) Define the term 'identity' in the context of a diverse society. [2]

(b) Explain two factors that shape an individual’s identity in Singapore. [4]

6. "Stereotypes and prejudice are the main barriers to racial harmony in Singapore." Do you agree? Explain your answer. [6]

7. The Singapore government uses both assimilation and integration approaches to manage diversity. Explain the difference between these two approaches and give one example of how the government promotes integration. [6]

8. Socio-economic diversity refers to the gap between the rich and the poor. Explain two challenges that socio-economic diversity poses to social harmony in Singapore. [6]

9. "It is the responsibility of the government alone to ensure a more inclusive society for people with different socio-economic backgrounds." Do you agree? Explain your answer. [6]
