Integration not just about fitting in

This is the kind of article you should look out for and READ! It looks at major events in the world and then trace the lens back to Singapore to explore what kind of impact it has on our society....very useful for those 'your society' kind of questions as well as for AQs/

Note:
- the double standards in free speech in European countries, esp the eg on Holocaust
- Singapore's law like Sedition Act and the Religious Harmony Act
- the need for integration or inclusiveness, the lack of which can trigger terrorist episodes like that of the Charlie Hebdo case
-the interesting idea that integration is 2 way
- useful stats: of the 5.2 million population in Singapore, 1.33 million are foreigners, 750,000 of which are blue-collar workers.
-is it fair to demand that foreigners forsake their own culture (identity) and adopt the culture of the host country?

Qns:
1. How far is it important for people to be aware of current events in countries other than their own? (Cam. 2014)
2. 'If you want to stay in this country, integrate!’ To what extent should migrants conform to the culture of their adopted country? (ACJC Prelim 2014)
3. To what extent should there be limits to freedom of speech?
