hi everyone! l'Il be frequently sharing GP content, so do follow this page (and like this post so you’ll see our posts more and it provides us the motivation to post more content!) Today, we introduce the broken windows theory.

Imagine there was a building, and a bunch of kids decided to throw rocks at a window, breaking it. If this window is left broken, the building is more likely to attract even more vandals and other windows are more likely to be broken as well--the theory is that some existing "disorder" invites *even more* disorder and damage. This extends to policing and crime: does stopping small crimes, or even just unsightly behaviours, stop more serious crimes from happening? Additionally, what are the dangers of over-applying this?

Some past GP questions to consider:

To what extent is it possible 'to make the punishment fit the crime"? (2013)

Discuss the reasons for crime among young people and the ways in which they can be encouraged to behave differently.
(1993)

'We shape our buildings, but then our buildings shape us. To what extent is this true of Singapore?
(2020)

'People, not the government, should decide how to organize their lives.' Is this a fair comment? (2004)

The final waves of June’s intensive three-session crash courses are open! Just sign up for any three sessions; make sure to attend one ‘session 1’, one ‘session 2’, and one ‘session 3’ (you can mix and match between the two waves if needed) at https://gp.sg/tuition , under ‘crash courses’ instead of ‘weekly sessions’.

The crash course will cover techniques, hacks and guided practices for paper 1 and 2, and is held conveniently online using Zoom, Google Docs, and other shared resources (this also makes editing of your work, by both yourself and I, more efficient). These intensive sessions are at a total cost $360, with each session being at least 2 hours.

We have one of—if not the highest—‘A’ and ‘A and B’ rate, approximately triple that of the national average. Head to https://gp.sg/tuition to sign up or check out our many success stories (we have also catapulted many students from U/S grades to A grades at the A-Levels!)

Note: Registration closes on 8 June, so sign up ASAP! Limited slots are available.

A “slippery slope fallacy” refers to a slippery slope argument (explained here) that over-assumes and is unreasonable.

It is imperative to differentiate when a “slippery slope” is a reasonable argument and when it is fallacious. The danger in everyday arguments takes two forms: that we may accidentally commit the slippery slope fallacy, and that sometimes, reasonable arguments in the slippery slope form are hastily, wrongfully dismissed as a “slippery slope fallacy”.

⭐️Useful for essay rebuttals/points⭐️

Consider which are reasonable (or not):

1) Same-sex marriage
"People might say that if same-sex marriage is legal, then it won’t be long before people demand to marry minors. If it becomes legal to marry children, this can open up the floodgates for other arrangements, like marrying animals or inanimate objects. Marriage will no longer have the meaning and significance it has had for centuries."

2) Censorship
“Some believed that removing Apu, an offensive character from Simpsons due to racial stereotypes, from the show would lead to removing other potentially offensive characters from the show and this, in turn, will lead to the show lacking a variety in characters and the show's ultimate demise.”

3) Vaccines
Senator Ted Cruz calls a vaccine mandate for federal employees a “slippery slope towards excessive government control,” because it could increase the likelihood of “school closures” and “more draconian lockdowns"

4) Addiction
"Trying out drugs once may lead to the slippery slope of drug addiction"

5) The “no concessions” policy in the U.S. contends that if a terrorist group holds citizens hostage, the U.S. should never give in to demands for ransom, as this would lead to a terrorists demanding more ransom in future, and even more people turning to terrorism or terrorists taking even more hostages.

6) Post-WWII, the U.S. believed in “domino theory”—that if one country fell to communism, then so would its neighboring country, and then its neighbours’ neighbouring country, and so on such that the entire region would fall to communism and it will eventually be a problem to the U.S.—this was used to justify U.S. intervention.
