Example 1

For the spectators, the Chingay Parade offers a glimpse into the different cultures of Singapore where race, language and creed are no barriers and together we celebrate as one.

Example 2

Common Practices (rituals) - singing the National Anthem, taking the National Pledge, celebrating National Day etc. Through the pledge, we are reminded of who we are, what we hope to achieve and how we are going to achieve these goals. Together we see ourselves as one.
