新加坡家庭教育的成功经验及启示——以传统儒家孔学思想为视角

新加坡是一个擅长吸收与借鉴他来文化的多民族国家,尤其是在家庭教育方面,通过吸收我国传统儒家孔学思想的仁爱观、孝悌观、正义观作为家庭教育培养孩子的主要内容,成为新加坡独具特色的教育模式。而我国在社会发展的进程中家庭教育却出现了以扭曲的代际观、畸形的重利轻义观为代表的问题。为此,以新加坡家庭教育成功的建设经验为契机,从整合和践行儒家精华资源、统筹以“法”来塑造家庭教育的环境、建立家庭伦理教育的约束机制等措施以借鉴与吸收新加坡家庭教育的成功经验,并提出家庭教育实施中的建议以对我国完善家庭教育有着重要的启发意义。     

Is Asia adopting flexicurity?

In the face of global competition, many countries are adopting a flexicurity approach to labour regulation, providing employers with greater flexibility to hire and retrench workers while helping workers transition to new jobs. This review of six Asian countries finds that China and the Republic of Korea have enacted such reforms; Singapore and Malaysia provide some ingredients of flexicurity, though no unemployment insurance; India and Sri Lanka have introduced few reforms and continue to rely on an older model of employer-based security. To support informal workers, the Governments of China, India and Sri Lanka use public works, self-employment programmes and skills training.

哈萨克斯坦和新加坡威权政治体制的比较分析及启示

威权政治是中亚和东南亚国家转型时期所形成的民主政治模式,哈萨克斯坦和新加坡又是这两个地区中实行威权政治体制的典型国家。两国的威权政治体制既存在相同特征,又存在许多差异性。但是威权政治体制能适应两国国情,并且两国正确地处理了传统与现代的关系以及威权政治与民主政治的关系。因此,在民主机制的载体中,哈萨克斯坦和新加坡威权政治的本质特征将会延续下去。      

新加坡民族政策及其对我国的启示

新加坡是一个多种族的移民社会,20世纪60年代其国内种族矛盾严重,曾出现过激烈的种族冲突。之后,在建立多元种族和谐国家的原则指导下,政府通过对处劣势的马来人的扶持、各种族混居、成立少数民族权利总统委员会及实行集选区制度等措施促进各种族间和平共处、共同发展,成效显著。新加坡在处理民族问题上的思路能为完善我国民族政策提供有益启示。     

新加坡土生华人在辛亥革命中的地位与作用

新加坡土生华人指华人移民和本地马来亚人结合的后裔,是新加坡社会中十分重要的群体,拥有独特的文化,和中华民族的命运有着密切联系。在族群认同上,他们一方面认同中华传统文化,另一方面又自成体系,与其他华人移民群体相区别。迫于殖民地艰难的生存环境,土生华人族群迫切希望通过支持中国革命建立一个强大的政府来保卫海外华人的权益。在辛亥革命期间,他们筹集资金、宣传革命,提供后勤保障,为辛亥革命的成功做了巨大贡献。     

Organization and Delivery of Long-Term Care in Singapore

Summary

This paper focuses on the Singaporean model of long-term care for older people. With only about 2% of the older population living in institutions, the mainstay of long-term care is community care. The reader is provided an overview of the Singaporean services, including case management, followed by a discussion of the current issues and future challenges. In keeping with the prospect of a rapidly aging population profile, the Singapore government plays a leading role in framing policy and planning for future needs of this sector of the population.     

Child Sexual Abuse Attributions Among Undergraduate Psychology Students in Singapore

ABSTRACT

Experimental vignettes were used to investigate attributions relating to child sexual abuse with a focus on the degree of blame allocated to the family and to society, factors thought to be particularly relevant in a collectivist society. One hundred and sixty-two undergraduates in Singapore evaluated media reports describing a case of child sexual abuse. A 2 x 2 x 2 between-subjects design manipulated victim sex, perpetrator sex, and victim–perpetrator relationship. Participants rated the vignettes on degree of blame and prevention potential and rated the abusiveness of the case. Individualism and collectivism attitudes of the participants were also measured. While the highest blame ratings were attributed to perpetrators, significantly more blame was attributed to the family and to society than to the victim. The demonstration of the present attributions of blame to family and to society is a timely finding given recent recommendations to broaden approaches to child abuse prevention by moving away from a reliance on school based child protection programs, which leave the onus on the child to prevent and report abuse, toward a public health approach, which is particularly inclusive of parent and community education approaches . Allocation of some blame to victims, in spite of their status as children, while not a unique finding in victimology research, emphasizes the challenges still to be faced in encouraging the reporting of child sexual abuse.
