And today we learnt that we have yet another test on Friday. Help? Today's lesson was about how some websites can be ineffective and the problems faced. I faced all the problems before, in fact. And the problems are effecting how people work.
I am using the criteria of purpose to evaluate the website. I chose that criteria as the site has a purpose, and its purpose is to insult in an entertaining way. All the posts and links lead to entertaining posts or games even. Despite the insults, people will still view the site as a mean to loosen up and laugh at what is happening to their own country.
The site has been known to many Singaporeans, and is rather sustainable as it contains posts of freedom of speech, in which the topics are mainly common among the viewers.
If i were to read the posts as the Singaporean Prime Minister, I would be very shocked and disappointed as most of the entries are insulting the government. But as the Prime Minister, I should not sit and curse, but I should, as a leader, reflect and try to find solutions that would appeal both the people and me.
If i were to read it as a Singaporean, which I am, I can read it from 2 points of view. If I were a patriot I would feel very insulted and leave comments to vent anger on the one who posted it. However, being a normal Singapore citizen myself, I get amused by the topics and sometimes agree to what he has to say, while some are just nonsensical jokes. However, I would feel rather embarrassed as people from overseas who read this would get a bad impression of Singapore.
Lastly, if I were to read is as a foreigner working or studying in Singapore, I would feel insecure as the country I landed myself in has such problems. It depends on the situations on how I would act.
