Devil's Advocate

Singapore

   According to Devil's Advocate blog, I will explains briefly about  my research paper results  regarding Singapore, as well as draw the image of its marketing environment. The research paper contains the explanations about the culture, official spoken languages, state of economy, level of technology, religion,climate, population, political and legal system and also potential for economic growth. In the conclusion of my research paper, I will highlight advantages and disadvantages of the Singapore marketing environment and how to overcome this adversity.

  Singapore is the country of islands which located on the South of Malay Peninsula. Its area is only 704,0 square kilometers, and it is smallest country in Southeast Asia. There are four spoken official languages such as Malay, Mandarin, Tamil and English. The population of Singapore is about 4,700,000 people and the density of population is 6,400,0 per square kilometer.  Singapore has a tropical climate, which is warm and humid. The temperature is uniform through out the year, ranging between 24'C and 32'C, moderated by sea breezes  It is multicultural as well as multi-religious country. Singapore becomes a famous attraction city for tourist from all over the world and tourism is one of the largest industries in the country. In 2011, this city attracted more than 20 million tourists and government definite laws to attract even more tourist such as legalizing gambling which located in Sentosa island.  Furthermore, this research contained the information about the unique behaviors, attitudes and spending patterns of consumers in Singapore. Trends in Singapore's marketing environment are analysed from an economic,demographic and cultural, as well as a consumer behavior and marketing perspective. The analysis shows the picture of a fairly wealthy society with good future prospects.

Movie Review

The Amazing Spiderman

The Spiderman is back!! This movie has similar story component and excitements that we have seen earlier which written by James Vanderbilt, Alvin Sargent and Steve Kloves. The new movie Spiderman which called The Amazing Spiderman is the story of Peter Parker , an out cast high school who was reckless by his parents as a kid, leaving him to be raised by his uncle Ben and Aunt May.Like most youths, Peter is trying to figure out who is he and how he got to be the person he is today. As Peter notices a mysterious brief case that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to recognize his parents' disappearance -leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors, his father's former partner. A science experiment to help humanity goes wrong and we get a new villain called The Lizard which played by Rhys Ifans. The Lizard does what the usual antiheroes in Spidey films do but he is not that threatening as the Green Goblin was in the old Spiderman. The action arrangements are also less in the movie, some of the sequences are very well shot as we seen from the Spiderman as he jumps from heights.Additional big transformation in the film is Peter Parker's love interest; instead of Marry Jane, we get to meet Gween Stacy which played by Emma Stone. Gwen is intellectual, strong headed and fearless; casting Stone was perhaps the best decision for the makers. Finally, Spiderman is set on a collision course with Connor's alter-ego, The lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become hero.

Overall, The Amazing Spiderman is an entertaining movie but is confidently not the best superhero movie we have seen in this summer. Definitely  watch it for a good time at the movies, but do not expect a lot; I guess that is left to the consequences.
