{"ModuleCode":"SC2880A","ModuleTitle":"Singapore: The Social Experiment","Department":"Sociology","ModuleDescription":"This module serves as a primer on Singapore society, covering its recent history and current issues. Students will get a good sense of what went into the construction of modern Singapore as a nation, an economy, and a home, as well as various policies and processes dealing with “deficits”, such as low fertility rates, afflicting Singapore. Whenever possible, students will have the opportunity to go on field-trips where they can get an immediate and better feel of the social changes taking place, through meeting the people — front-line, back office or board room — who routinely work in keeping Singapore going.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"0-3-0-5-2","Types":["Module"],"Lecturers":["Straughan, Paulin"],"LecturePeriods":["Friday Morning"]}
