REFLECTION

The only constant in life is change. Everywhere around us are changes. Changes can happen any time, anywhere and on anybody, there is no way to control a change or changes. Thus, change is inevitable.

Since we cannot control or change changes, whoever that is able to adapt faster and build on the change would be therefore the winner of that situation. In the context of land shortage, by being able to adapt and build on the change would mean to be able to think of ways to increase the supply of land and being able to work out the method, allowing more land to be present for other uses. Whoever that loses in the change are those who are unable to control the change, instead, being controlled by the change, leading to overcrowding of that piece of land in that certain country. Thus, winners or losers of changes depend of whomever who is able to adapt and build on the change faster than the other party.

Like what is mentioned, nobody can control change so the only thing that can cause change and the only thing that can be responsible for change is the nature herself. Nature can cause a disaster, changing how a place would look. Nature can cause illnesses, changing how a person might be. Thus nature is the only thing that is responsible for the changes in life. Whatever it is, we just have to try our best to adapt and build on the changes to become winners of changes.

In my opinion, change can be both avoiable and unavoidable. Change itself is decided by one or just happened naturally. Some changes are done by nature, when it starts, we can't stop it and have no choice but to let it take its course.

In this case (for land shortage), it is both avoidable and unavoidable as well. Why? It is because of the high increase in population, resulting in high increase in demand for land. Another reason is that land is not properly taken care of and planned out. This causes shortage of land. We should learn to conserve land for future developements and not act impulsively. For if "you fail to plan, you plan to fail". As saying goes, "Look before you jump."

As for whether who wins or lose in changes, i feel there's no 'win or lose'. It is just that whether one wins or lose depends on which point of view is taken into consideration. From my opinion, the winner is whereby one who thinks before acting, for things are forever changing, and hence we should not be a reckless bull. And as for the one who acts before thinking would be as if digging his or her own's grave. The one gripping the 'winning end' would be those who plan and execute out each idea step by step and so the changes will not be as of a bigger impact when change appeared, compared to the other reckless opponent.

The responsibilty for changes is both no one's and everyone's. As stated before, change is both avoidable and unavoidable, depending on situations. For if one chooses to 'change', the other will have to accept the 'change' and follow (turning it into win-win situation), if not the person who doesnt want to 'change', it will be a lose-win situation, and it will be the person who cannot follow who so called 'loses' and fall back. Changes can also be caused by nature, therefore, my conclusion is changes is both no one's and everyone's responsibility.

In my opinion, I really think that land scarcity is a real and scary problem in Singapore. Singapore is a very small country and we have a high population density. With a high population density, we need more land to fit all the people here and provide for their needs. Examples of these are governments having to build more houses for those who live here.

Fortunately, land scarcity is a problem that can actually be solved. The Singapore government has made an effort to solve a part our land scarcity problem by building many high rise buildings instead of having many low buildings that cannot fit many people in the same building. This has definitely helped to lighten the problem of land scarcity here.I believe that land reclamation is inevitable and is possible the only way to solve our land scarcity problem.
