2.The casino being built in Singapore is supposed to be a money-maker and job creator. However, many people have spoken against it. Talk to a parent or adult and get their view on the casino. Listen to the NPR and YouTube offerings and choose one that substantiates your viewpoint and include a quote from it as well. Your blog entry has to be at least 200 words and you must either support the casino or condemn its construction and ultimately the hardships it will cause in Singapore.
I personally feel that there should not be a casino in Singapore. Having a casino in Singapore might be a bad influence and ruin Singapore reputation. For example, people might think that Singapore supports gambling for they had build a casino. This is not the case and Singapore is merely using the casino to earn more money and create more jobs for locals.
It is also quite puzzling to me as to why the government do not encourage Singaporeans to patronise the casino and only allow tourists to come. This means that the government did not want Singaporeans to gamble. In a way, this is good for it shows the government care for the locals. Then why did they build a casino in the first place, and in Singapore too? The point is that they only want tourists to come and gamble and not locals. However, does this means that gambling will not be detrimental to the tourists? As a matter of fact, it willl still be!
Well, gambling is detrimental to everyone. It is also inevitable that some Singaporeans would come to the casino to gamble. All the hard effort the government spent on anti-gambling would be wasted. So, why build the casino at all? Of course it will boost Singapore's tourism and create more jobs, but is it fair in the expense of "harming" some people so as to do this? I don't think so...
