Self Reflection

After few weeks of blogging, I have learnt the importance of keeping up with current affairs and news. Before this blogging on world current affairs, I was unaware about all the affairs that are happening around me. For example, without the blogging topic on “MOE reducing the weightage of Mother Tongue”, I will not know that MOE had this idea of reducing the weightage, which I’m totally, disagree with the idea.

Besides focusing on Singapore’s education, I have also learned to focus on Singapore as a whole. Through the 2nd topic, “How can Singapore stay young forever?” I have learned think of alternative factors for individual and government to keep Singapore young and competitive for other countries.

Regarding the 3rd topic for “Plagiarism”, I have learned that Plagiarism is also considered as a serious offends. Be it big or small matters, people must not steal someone’s ideas. I’ve also realized my mistake of copying information from the internet and paste it on my own project report without crediting the author. Thus, after learning about Plagiarism from blogging, I had stop copying information from website directly without even changing the words or without crediting the author.

Lastly, the topic “Conserving the Environment” is my favorite topic. Since young, I’ve been taught to conserve the environment even by doing small things like switching off the lights when I do not need them. However, blogging had also allows me to look deeper into this topic and know how much damage human had cause to the world.

Overall, besides learning on how to write my own comments on each individual topic, I’ve also gain awareness and understand the happenings around the world.
