On the other hand, the widespread use of” Smart Technology” is a significant indicator of how ready for the future, which Singapore has constantly been highly regarded for. However, the rapid development of digital world has unintentionally added pressure on people. Over half of Singaporeans expressed concern that society and technology are evolving too quickly and in ways that are n’t beneficial for people, according to the 2024 Edelman Trust Barometer.
This conceited view underscores the fact that the prospect is not just about any particular success, whether it be industrial or otherwise, but also about how these accomplishments impact society and how they affect people and people living.
Bridge CHANGE PERSPECTIVES OF THE FUTURE
Replicating our success may involve a thorough understanding of what the future holds for citizens, which is different from person to person.
People with firm wages and plentiful resources might be able to consider the long-term effects of global issues like climate change. In contrast, those who struggle to satisfy basic needs or are in financial trouble may not have the same comfort as those who have other pressing issues like finding employment and affordable housing.
Some may support green, low-growth models to give social security and environmental conservation a top priority, but others see continued economic growth as the best way to ensure ongoing improvements to quality of life.
This gap in perspectives and priorities has the ability to adâncen already exist political divisions and foster conflict over how resources may be distributed, what policies may be put into action, and the overall course of national growth.
Therefore, it is crucial to find ways to better correlate people with a shared future for the country or at the very least to foster consensus-building by bridging the knowledge gaps in understanding how Singapore think about the future.
