youth gambling habits
Hi everyone,
Thanks for your responses on plagiarism! This week, we're still promoting a poll that has been launched for a while now.
Youth Gambling Habits
We don't need an IR to gamble. All we need is the opportunity to place a bet, and something to bet on.
This week, we want to ask about your gambling habits -- Do you gamble? How young were you when you made your first bet? What do you gamble on and what are the stakes?
Most importantly, why do you gamble? Do you know when to stop? How far will you go to help a loved one in need of money?
We look forward to hearing from you. Meanwhile, keep reading YouthInk every monday!

plagiarism OR youth gambling habits
Hi everyone,
Thank you so much for your responses for our survey on social graces. We had a great time reading them.
This week, we're doing a double bill of surveys! If you would be so kind as to do them both, we would be really grateful! They will only take a few minutes, if at all.
1) Plagiarism
Plagiarism: the passing off of the work of others as your own.
It seems that half of the students in Cambridge, one of the best universities in the world, cheat -- and plagiarism is their modus operandi.
What about Singaporean youth? Do you engage in "the practice of claiming or implying original authorship of (or incorporating material from) someone else's written or creative work?" If so, how worried are you about getting caught? Do you believe plagiarism is a big problem at all? How clear are you about what constitutes plagiarism anyway?
2) Youth Gambling Habits

Singapore -- First World Social Graces?
Hi everyone,
Thank you for your responses to the last poll on the U.S. Presidential Elections. Personally, I felt the responses were both interesting and informed.
As such, we would like to share them with everyone HERE. Names have been removed from comments, and the comments expressed therein are the views of the authors themselves.
This week, we're conducting a customer satisfaction survey! But we don't want to ask about Singaporean service standards. Rather, we're interested in how you rate the social graces of Singaporeans!
That's right -- social graces. Defined as "the collective skill for dealing with people and society". "Manners". "Etiquette".
It's not a new topic. But that's just an indirect way of saying that it's a recurring problem, one that was most recently highlighted by PM Lee during his 2008 National Day Rally.
How would you rate the social graces of our generation of youths? What about those of society at large? Is Singapore truly a gracious society? Have courtesy campaigns and kindness movements had any effect on the behavior of Singaporeans at all?
Tell YouthInk what you think! Access our poll HERE.
We look forward to hearing from you. Meanwhile, keep reading YouthInk every monday!
As always, here're some cartoons we managed to scour off the internet that are semi-related to our topic at hand! Cheers.

Pick me a President!
Hi everyone,
Thanks so much for all your responses for our last poll on beauty. The replies we got were both entertaining AND insightful! And that's rare.
We hope you'll all be as enthusiastic for our latest poll, which serves up somewhat more serious fare.
This week, we are examining a political event that we as Singaporeans have no control over, but whose outcome will undoubtedly have significant global repurcussions.
It has been brewing since 2006 and will finally reach its thrilling conclusion when voters head to the polls on November 4th, 2008 -- The US Presidential Elections.
Given the chance, who would you vote for? Would you even vote at all? What are the factors influencing your decision?
Do you see Singapore ever having such a direct and conrontational style of politics? Do you even want such a political culture?
Tell YouthInk what you think! Access our poll HERE.
We look forward to hearing from you. Meanwhile, keep reading YouthInk every monday!
In the meantime, here're some political cartoons we managed to find off the internet for your bemusement! Cheers.

[The Unabashedly Shallow Poll] Beauty is only faculty-deep!
Hi everyone,
First up, thanks for your responses on our last poll on stress! The number of respondents increased from our first survey and we hope this is a trend that will continue into the foreseeable future (and hopefully increase exponentially as well!)
This week sees the launch of another exciting new poll on a topic that may interest a great many of us -- BEAUTY.
Yes, we all know that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' and that 'beauty is only skin-deep'. We have chosen to 'dig deep' into the superficial this time around and ask youths about who they think are the most physically attractive tertiary students here in Singapore.
For those who are still in school, we've gone a step further -- tell us which faculty you think has the hottest hunks and babes!
What gives you these impressions? How do you define physical attractiveness?
We would love to hear what you think.
Access our short, sweet, yet utterly interesting poll HERE.
We look forward to hearing from you. Meanwhile, keep reading YouthInk every monday!

The Young and the Stress-less?
Hi everyone,
Thank you so much for your responses for our last poll on further education, the results of which you should be seeing on YouthInk really soon!
For now, we are launching a new poll on something which should be very dear to all our hearts -- STRESS.
How stressed are you? What gives you stress? Do you suffer from any negative symptoms of stress? How on earth do you unwind and not blow up in the face of everything you encounter every single day?
So many questions that need answering. But don't worry -- our poll will be short, sweet, and simple as always, and you only need to reveal as much as you are comfortable with sharing.
The survey can be found HERE.
