 * Assigned Evaluation || Government dictating - National Identity ||  ||   ||   ||   ||   ||
 * Your group's evaluation || * Singaporeans tend to complain about everything even when the government tries its best to implement the best ideas for the people
 * By doing so, they discuss the issues concerning national identity in a criticising manner
 * Effective in the aspect of National Day songs since people sing it even if it is to mock them
 * Effective in a negative manner ||  ||   ||   ||   ||   ||

 * Assigned Evaluation || Bottom to Top - Singaporeans creating the National Identity ||  ||   ||   ||   ||   ||
 * Your group's evaluation || * Singaporeans are the ones who're part of the nation so naturally if they create the National Identity through their cultures, behavioral habits or through their speech and ideas, then it might be more effective and greatly accepted by the rest of the Singaporeans
 * Singaporeans, however, may take in the ideas of other fellow Singaporeans in a negative manner which will result in a backfire- as we can see from some YouTube wars like in Aaron Tan's or Steven Lim's case, we cannot assume that Singaporeans will support one another just because of common citizenship and it is subject to their personal views too
 * Singaporeans creating the National Identity is also not too effective since we also cannot assume that Singaporeans will spread these ideas and will be keen on creating a National Identity- as we can see in today's fast-paced society, creating a National Identity is a greater concern for the government and not that people. ||  ||   ||   ||   ||   ||
