The report draws its analysis from a recent incident involving instructions given by ASEAN Para Games Committee to athletes. It effectively AQs a event and draws out deeper concerns about how a minority group may be perceived by different stakeholders in Singapore. You are activating the same skill in Paper 2 and to some extent, in Paper 1.
Underlying Issues in article: Concept of Inclusion vs Exclusion ...the ideals and means to go about developing an inclusive society and the practical challenges on the ground.
Like skills taught in PW, a key strength in any AQ response is the candidates ability to stay focussed in analyzing an issue by considering a target group involved. This article bridges 2 teaching points- the use of specific stakeholders to transform assertions to a clear argument and the need to draw on broader themes like inclusivity to add depth to discussion.
Like PW, GP isn't really what it's meant to be we are able to look at issues in a sensitive way and not pigeon-hole human diversity into a nameless void / term (like 'People') to discuss a point, which almost always lead to superficial remarks made. Such blanket terms always dilute a discussion and makes it a lot less convincing.
Again, note the use of specific examples and 'hedging' skills to argue a case in a convincing way.
