Singapore's 4 Development Theories

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
the communitarian ideology and the second part centers on the four theories of development. COMMUNITARIAN IDEOLOGY IN SINGAPORE The basis of communitarian ideology is that no  man is an island, or that there is no such thing as isolation in communitarian ideology. Based on this presumption, further conviction would seem that "individual rights need to  be balanced with social responsibilities" (Warschauer, 2002, PG) and that there is no autonomy in the communitarian landscape. A major problem in Singapore is that this ideology is taken "too  far" (Warshchauer, 2002, PG) in that there is an overabundance of social control, especially in several issues. The result is that there are few individual rights that Singaporeans enjoy,  including organ donation, gun control and the environment. In the matter of organ donation Singapore has adopted a program that is opposite that of the United States. Whereas in  the U. S. one must sign a card volunteering their organs to be donated, in Singapore everyone is presumed to be an organ donor unless they take the step to  sign and mail a card that will allow them to opt out of this program. Thus simply by default Singaporeans have a larger number of organ donations than do  other countries (Warschauer, 2002). In Singapore another difference is that their Internet structure is based on whether it is socially responsible - in this way there is much IT  technology that is left on the drawing room floor in way of Internet information.

Such an ideology prescribes restriction of freedom of expression
