The casino being built in Singapore is supposed to be a money-maker and job creator. However, many people have spoken against it. Talk to a parent or adult and get their view on the casino. Listen to the NPR and YouTube offerings and choose one that substantiates your viewpoint and include a quote from it as well. Your blog entry has to be at least 200 words and you must either support the casino or condemn its construction and ultimately the hardships it will cause in Singapore.
Casinos are a place of hardships and destruction. With just one gamble, you can lose everything you have by getting addicted. A long time ago, it was mostly men but now there is a "growing number of women". Gambling can interfere with your career and your marriage(if you are married). Although there are may be new jobs, it will only just hurt more people and cause many people to lose their job, which defeats the whole purpose of the casino. Gamblers will lose a lot of money but some may "lose more that that, losing a year(s) in prison due to stealin" money to satisfy their gambling needs.The money-making part is only short term as when gamblers lose their jobs, they lose their money and the chance to contribute to the economy, then they have lesser and lesser money to gamble which then leads to lesser gain.Even if they win a lot of money, they will just gamble them away causing them to go into a huge debt.As our prime minister said, he/Singapore wants a bigger population, in other words it means that each family must have more children but then if we gamble and gamble, our families will not improve, it will just deteriorate.
