    In Singapore, the death penalty is mandatory for drug trafficking, murder, treason, and certain crimes involving guns. Executions in Singapore are carried out by hanging. According to Amnesty International, between 1991 and 2003, more than 400 people were hanged in Singapore. With a population of a little over four million, this gives Singapore one of the highest execution rates in the world.
    Human rights groups point to the fact that many of those executed in Singapore are among the most impoverished and vulnerable of the population, including a large number of foreign nationals and migrant workers. In the case of drug trafficking convictions, which carry a mandatory death sentence, it has been argued that those found guilty have in fact been drug users or small time drug pushers. What this means is that minor players are executed while the major players, those who lead the drug trafficking operations, are able to escape punishment and continue to command their illegal operations. Furthermore, although the government of Singapore argues that the death penalty has been useful in controlling crime, human rights groups argue that despite the executions, drug abuse has not abated.
    Even though freedom of speech is controlled to an extent by the government in Singapore, one Internet site established by a non-governmental organization operating in Singapore, called Think Centre, polled Singaporeans on their view of the death penalty. A surprising result found that almost 70 percent of 1,135 respondents in Singapore oppose the death penalty

    Many forms of prejudice exist in society today. Not all forms of prejudice are obvious to the average person. “Benevolent prejudice” is a type of discrimination that often seems friendly or harmless. There are no outward signs of anger, fear, or violence, but it is still an unjustified or incorrect attitude toward a person based on his or her social group.
    An example of benevolent racism is the assumption that black Americans are all athletic, musical, religious, or have strong family bonds. These qualities are positive, but the misconception that they apply to all black Americans is a form of prejudice. Another form of benevolent prejudice is related to society’s attitude toward women. When people believe all women are weaker than men, are natural mothers, are more caring and compassionate, or should not work as hard as men at a job, they are being sexist.
    One of the most insidious forms of prejudice is discrimination against the elderly, which often takes the form of older people being marginalized or patronized out of pity. People will often speak to the elderly in a slow, infantile manner, or they will assume that the senior citizen is a needy, non-productive member of society. There are several forms of age-related bias, or ageism. The elderly is often seen as bungling and ineffectual, and are therefore treated differently, despite there being absolutely no proof of ineptitude.
    Ageism toward the elderly often manifests itself in the workplace. An older job applicant may be passed over for a younger one purely on the basis of age - because the older person is viewed as less capable, not because of an actual lack of experience or skills. At the other end of the spectrum, a company may try to coerce a long-time employee to go into retirement before he or she is ready, in order to pay a new person less money to do the same job. It may be assumed that an older person would not want to adapt to new ideas or use a new technology, or that possible medical issues could impact job performance or attendance.
    These issues are not mutually exclusive to older people. They could affect a person of any age. Because of benevolent ageism, many reliable, responsible senior citizens are losing jobs and being forced out of work.
