hello everyone welcome to mr gold channel and now we're going to explore how citizenship and governance in singapore and this is where we applies to your social study and if you are new to your social study welcome to social study because it is a study about singapore society and how we manage it and how we progress from there after so we are looking at the first chapter and we are looking at part number one what does it mean to be a citizen of my country issue one we are exploring citizenship and governance so this issue is really about being part of singapore society and chapter one deals with what does it mean for you and me if you're a seasoned to be a part of your country we'll be looking at four ways to become a singaporean and the later videos will be dealing with advantages of joining singapore society and the disadvantages of joining singapore society so let's go so how do we become singapore citizens the first way is true descent descent can be something along the line where you are born outside of singapore with at least one of your parents being a singaporean it could be both but you're born outside of singapore regardless of whether you're outside or inside as long as one or parents in singaporean you can be a singaporean you have a choice you see the second is through a country above you are born in singapore with at least one of your parents being in singapore seasons marriage you could not be a singaporean but become a singaporean when you marry to singapore for at least two years you come over to singapore you still may be a foreigner but on a marriage pass after you become a singapore permanent residence you stay at least two years then you might actually become a singapore caesar this is one of the way but it's not definitely a way you still need to go through the approval process because there are quite a number of marriage scams around so if they decide that such scams is a way for certain individuals to get yeah singapore citizenship then they might actually void the marriage and well arrest the person or the syndicate four naturalization is no longer granted please take note of this that you will naturally be naturalized naturalization may apply to other countries but not really to singaporeans you have registration instead you are a permanent resident for at least two years your employer or have invested in singapore so you are contributing to a singapore economy and that may allow you to become a singaporean so you still need to well apply to b1 besides holding the above two criterias you still need to complete your national service and if you are female congratulations you'll ask about this but i do not know maybe in the future females have to serve national service well for now the males you will have to complete national service which means you will have to be 18 plus 2 20 and above before you can apply this well if you're too old when you come over then this may not necessarily apply to you if you are male but your next generation eraser son will have to serve national service and last but not least this is important singapore do not allow dual citizenship means that you cannot be a season of two or more countries which means if you decide that you wish to be a singapore season you have to give out your original citizenship be it from any other country other than singapore so now that you decide that you want to be a singapore season what does it mean for me to be a season of my country when you say that you're being a season you're essentially saying that you are a member of the human society and what society singapore society you are choosing to be part of a human suicide and a society essentially is talking about a community of people around you so you are choosing to be part of the society alternatively you can live in the wilds and choose not to be part of the human society but singapore is too small for that so you may actually have to immigrate overseas so let's take a look when we are talking about society we are talking about communities of people right so as a student you are actually part of a class and you will have your cca your co-curricular activity and you're also part of it essentially you're also part of school that makes you a student and that makes you part of a village as well while in singapore we don't really call village but maybe an estate our housing estate there will be a more accurate description then moving to a town we have just a whole area of land which is like let's say the jurong area hal gang area or the tampanese area that will consider a town usually they are self-contained where they have their own facilities and to cater to the residents there next we are moving on to a city where singapore is a city but if you're going to overseas you know that city is not a part of the country so after that you move to a nation aka country is both a city and a nation but if you go to other countries such as in malaysia kuala lumpur is a city but it's not a country malaysia is a country and last but not least we move on to a world you are a member of the world lucky or not as long as you are participating in something that involves the human society you are part of the world so before we continue it is important to consider these few questions which will help you in understanding in the next few videos so why do you join a society in the first place and what are the benefits of joining a society what are the disadvantages of joining a society and last but not least are there any people that aren't members of any nation and i'll give you a clue the answer is start with why okay so we shall be moving on as a conclusion of after the thinking process we're looking at the advantages of joining a society this will be a brief one but you will elaborated later on in the other videos so we will be talking about shad labor where we share our own labor with the rest of the society we get the benefit of that think of it how do you live in a house that's considered by one person that will take a very very long time so you have many people sharing the label to build a house think housing estate and your hdb flat next we share our knowledge if you have specialized in a certain knowledge for example you are an expert at carpentry so you may actually create a product which is what a furniture which you can sell to other people and they actually are able to enjoy the furniture based on your knowledge and your shared product which is your shared labor as well because you're spending the effort to create the furniture so both your knowledge and labor is being shared with the resource society and you enjoy the law which is the constitution which constitution is basically the basic level of law which applies to every single human being within that society so you enjoy the protection of law such as not being killed at will by anybody that will be unlawful you have security protection right if anything that goes wrong the police is a public service which is to protect anyone and everyone we have legality the laws actually protect your rights so the law which is also part of the constitution and if someone did something unlawful they will be captured by the police which is a security then we have the law which sues them and later they are not in jail or maybe even executed then last but not least we have a chat under the you feel they are part of a big community be your class be part of a nation that is why we celebrate national day right so we are celebrating our identity as a national citizen and we hope that the country will go on and prosper and in the process we prosper as well let's take a look at the disadvantage briefly so we need to pay our taxes you can't live in a society because the goods need to be paid but no one pays for it like your safety which is guaranteed or which is protected by the police so someone needs to pay them that will be under public service and how about street lights they are also public goods we have economic activities so you need to partake in economic activities when you become an adult to help the society as well so about in order to get money for your food and your lodging so you need to work which is why our parents work and eventually we'll have to so we'll get feedback from the society be it good or negative we'll get feedback for salary is which we need to learn so that we can adapt and survive in a suicide we also need people to volunteer in their society because not everything is paid caring for someone cannot be quantifiable you cannot give it a certain value but it is needed you need to care for people who need help because not everyone is able to help themselves and we have defense defending singapore is part of the national service and usually the males will do it but it's actually the females can actually do it as well as when they sign on to the army where they are paid to do so but it's still part of service to a nation at electoral duties it is your important duty as a citizen to vote for the government that makes the best decision for the nation voting is your duty and is important to vote it's joining a society worth it to you is something for you to consider but that is a very important question which is why we're here right studying social study and would you ever choose to leave a society and that's the case would you join other society or live in a place where there is no society so is that even possible so it's a question for you to think about and when you have your answer you will have a better and more comprehensive understanding and that is all for chapter 1.1 and hope you have a very great day and stay tuned to the next video goodbye
