Cultural Changes in Singapore


Singapore used to be a traditional as well as conservative society in general. But this is not the case anymore. The society itself is shaped by western values and as a result of that the younger generation is very much inclined by western culture. This can be aptly called as east-meets-west country where the trend includes Korean and also Japanese fashion. The latest trend is to learn these two languages. Both the cultures are so popular that people automatically become inclined to it.

The youngsters love to look like Japanese or Korean. If someone is talking about wearing loose socks, I think there should be no problem as so many girls are doing so in Singapore and that looks like a Korean model. But it is not true that to become a Japanese model you should undress yourself. Sometimes Japanese models really look elegant and that should be the real feature.

One more issue that I would like to address is that dressing provokingly in Singapore will not get one into any trouble. You can see lots of girls wearing bikini on road and that’s really not a big issue. Guys can look towards them and pass some comments and that’s it. Nothing vulgar can be seen on Singapore streets. In pool, beaches an clubs, there are enormous girls decked up in bikini and that’s very common.

So I come into an inference that one cannot get into trouble by dressing provocatively. Singaporeans are very chilled out by nature. They earn money, spend it like a king, dress fashionably, eat outside and also do many such things. They usually get marries early. Tattooing is also very famous in Singapore. The girls and boys are often seen with a unique tattoo, smoke a joint, multiple piercing, and drive in a Ferrari that wins admiration. They often clad in full Louis Vuitton gear and the list goes on. All of these are very common in present days. These are mainly the ways to resist the usual pattern and the time goes like this.
