In passage 1, the author pointed out that murder and violence are higher in nations with largest income inequality.This is not applicable in my society because income gap in Singapore is not a pertinent issue. This is because the Singapore government does their best to provide the basic ammeneties for everyone. For example, they give out subsidies and financial assistance to those in need of help. This way, tension between the society is reduced even if there is a large income gap. Hence, this view is not applicable in my society.
In passage 2, riots are geographically and socially very circumscribed, occuring in destitute neighbourhood. This is applicable in my society because the trend shows that more violence and murders occur in neighbourhoods which are known to have different gangs occupying the same area. For example, certain estates in Singapore like Geylang, are notoriously known for the amount of illegal activities such as revenge killing of a rival gang member. Hence, this view is applicable in my society
