Osama bin Laden was recently killed by US Navy SEALs in Pakistan. Before this, he had been "elevated to the realm of evil in American imagination once reserved for dicatators like Hitler and Stalin."
In a SEE paragraph, discuss the following: Was the decision to assassinate bin Laden rather than bring him to trial a justified one?
Include a concrete example to back up your stand.
Be specific with your elaboration.
In my opinion, assassinating bin Laden may be a wise decision though the authorities could have brought him up for questioning and then finally getting him to the trial. When they captured bin Laden alive, and they locked him up, other terrorists would start carrying out sadistic actions of kidnapping, torturing, carrying out mass massacres of villages in order to force the authorities to release their figure head. Even during the trial period, there will certainly be unrest in and outside of the country the trial is held at. An example will be Saddam Hussein's trial. During the period of his trial, many of the judges and lawyers which were pressing charges against him were assassinated. So, killing bin Laden is after all not a bad decision, also considering the number of innocent lives which were taken by the terrorist.

Think about the fact that you will one day have to do National Service military duty.
In a SEE paragraph, discuss the following: Making NS mandatory develops Singaporean boys into men. Do you agree?
Include a concrete example to back up your stand.
Be specific with your elaboration.
I agree with the fact that making NS mandatory develops Singaporean boys into men. NS puts guys who are not that mature to go through military experience and trainings. The trainings in NS are usually very tough, which would train the boys to have a strong mentality. An example would be my cousin, who was always afraid of insects. He will always get away upon seeing an insect or even a lizard. After serving his National Service, if he see an insect that goes towards him too close for comfort, he may just kill it or throw it out of the window. This is an example of someone who went through NS and experienced things that are worse, making these NS boys not take the usual life in Singapore for comfort.

Think about the social media that you often use (Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Scribd, Tumblr, Youtube etc.).
In a SEE paragraph, discuss the following: Social media has made us less social. Do you agree?
Incldue a concrete example to back up your statement.
Be specific with your elaboration.
I agree that social media has made us less social. We will often socialise virtually, talking with our peers online, such that we get addicted to certain social medias. This will then result us in being less social in the real world. An example in my home would be that my elder sister is very addicted to ****** and because of this, she will spend a lot of time on the ******. She often refuse to attend any family outings. I think that this is an example of social media making us less social in the real world.
