WHAT'S YOUR FIRST WORD?
Here’s a new social experiment
A few months ago, I saw reports of some foreigners acting unruly, and questioned… gosh… how should I really feel about foreigners coming into Singapore?
And then I found myself scrolling through hoardes of xenophobic comments online, and the usual keyboard-warrior battles played out till no end.
As a result, I wanted to explore the issue and maybe try to spread a little bit more positivity in an online space, amidst the heat and debate.
So I carried out this social experiment and compiled pictures of individuals who gave a positive first word, so that in my interactions with different individuals of different backgrounds, I will always ask myself,
"What's your first word?"
