Change Over Time
Since Singapore's indipenderce, it has tightened its grip every year and kept strict regulations despite international pleas
Location
This issue is occurring in Singapore, and Malaysia. Singapore is an island located in Southeast Asia just south of the Malay peninsula. The granite core of the island is surrounded by lower marshy land, and there is one season year round. The coasts are filled with skyscrapers and the center is filled with neighborhoods.
The Future of the Laws
How will this issue affect the region in the future?:
Foreign governments have weakened ties with the government when Singapore imposes their heinous punishments upon their citizens.
What is being done to prepare for the impacts of this topic in the future?:
As Singapore is an extremely developed country, their citizens are well educated, meaning that they know what is being limited to them (sort of the like the bringing of Satellite T.V. to the Soviet Union) and they could protest. However, no protests have been announced, or being planned (for now).

The Big Picture
Human Geography affects civil rights in Singapore by creating a sense of freedom from the growth of the economy that with growth comes change, in order for the government to maintain control the enforce strict rules and punishments for criminals.
Our topic relates to the geographic concept of place because the way humans run their lives is dictated by the govening body, and the way your live changes with where you live.
Civil rights represents how you live when you are somewhere as to what you can and can't do. People can use our topic to understand what is like in the world where governments try to maintain control no matter what.
