rest.
Blacks lack education they can only be labour workers

Eg. Not employing any black workers,Korean shop owner shoots down
Latasha Harlins mistaken her for wanting to steal

What was written?
Not Particular
I know you're not particular to a fault Though I'm not sure you'll

You're so fond of women that even a wench
Attracts your gross fancy despite her strong stench

Prejudices leads to discrimination

7. Economic Factor
Low employment rate among the African-American community prior to
the riots
African-American community unhappy with the powers-that-be for the
economic recession and their financial plight
African-American community had few economic and employment
opportunities to break out from the poverty cycle
Urban discontent was rife due to the poverty experienced by the
African-American community
Bryan Eng
8. Racial discrimination among the entire community of South Los
Angeles
The African-American community experienced segregation from society
at large
The African-American community lived in squalor compared to their
peers in the other races
General feeling of powerlessness and frustration at how society
discriminates against them and the unfairness of the situation as
compared to their peers
Social Factor
Bryan Eng
9. Political Factor
Then president, Bill Clinton, acknowledged the failings of both
political parties of South Los Angeles
Republican Administration was at fault for more than a decade of
urban decay
African-American congressional representative of South LA stated
that the government had abandoned the city to the poverty
cycle
In doing so, the loss of jobs and income was overlooked and the
general welfare of the people not looked after

10. Damage
11. Material losses vary between about $800 million and $1
billion 12. Approximately 3,600 fires were set, destroying 1,100
buildingsBryan Eng
13. Problems faced in modern day Singapore
14. Rob Singaporeans of their jobs 15. Get paid a lot more their
own countrymen 16. No high utility bills to pay 17. Not interested
in becoming a PR in Singapore 18. Children do not need to serve NS
19. Benefit from Singapores economyVictor Seit
20. Problems faced in modern day Singapore
PRC young infants or students
encouraged to attend Singapore schools by government
awarded scholarships of $500 a month
these scholarships are not given to Singaporean children at
all
Some of these PRC scholars are using Singapore a stepping stone to
migrate to western countries later.
They take up space and resources in local schools, taking up spaces
in universities and top schools.
Victor Seit
21. Problems faced in modern day Singapore
PRC Employees
Despite having lower qualifications or inferior degrees to locals,
they are preferred to local employees due to
Lower salary they demand
The absence of national service obligations
Victor Seit
22. Problems faced in modern day Singapore
Foreign Athletes
The use of many foreign athletes both in the national team and
school teams.
Prevents local talents from developing and improving as lesser
slots are available for local athletes.
Scholarships are also awarded to foreign athletes in an attempt to
attract them to settle down in Singapore.
Victor Seit
23. If no action is taken to help solve the above mentioned
problems, assuming the rate of foreigners in Singapore increases
according to the rates estimated in the article, it is highly
possible that the situation in Singapore will turn ugly as
predicted in the article.
Conclusion
Victor Seit
24. Give Singaporeans those privileges that are better or equal to
that that is available to foreigners coming to Singapore
Result:This will reduce the tension between the Singaporean
citizens and any foreign workers or students that comes to
Singapore.
Issue - Economy
Jerry Lye
25. Singaporean citizens should have better, if not equal,
educational benefits than foreigners coming to Singapore to
study.
26. As like jobs in Singapore, schools should have a minimum
percentile of students to be required by the governments as
Singaporeans, thus limiting the number of foreign students in
schools. Result: This will allow more vacancies in the schools for
the citizens of Singapore.
Issue - Education
Jerry Lye
27. Compensation should be given to citizens of Singapore who join
the NS.
Result: This will increase the employability of Singaporeans who
have gone through NS as compared to before when companies consider
re-service of a Singaporean to be a loss in productivity.
Issue - NS
Jerry Lye
28. Greater focus on local talents in the sports scene.
E.g. Setting up more sports schools or encourage schools by giving
incentives for students who excel in sports.
Result: This matches up benefits that foreign talents are receiving
thus bridging the differences between foreign and local
talents.
Issue - Sports
