Maycomb living conditions
Many of the residents residing in Maycomb are brave and courageous. This can be seen through the incident when Ms Maudie's house caught fire. Mr Avery ran into the flaming house bravely and started throwing furnitures out of the window. Other residentsR were also helping, either by helping to push the fire truck or helping to carry Ms Maudie's furniture out of her burning house. This not only shows courage displayed by the residents, but also teamwork and care among the neighbors. However, many of the residents in Maycomb are racist. Racism can be seen through many incidents that occurred in Maycomb. For example, when Jem, Dill and Scout sneaked into the Radley's Porch to sneak Boo a note, Mr Radley saw them in the dark and assumed that it was a negro that had sneaked into his yard. This proves that whenever someone is suspected of doing something bad, the first thing that would come to people's minds will be that it was done by a negro. Another good example is when the mop turns up at the jail, wanting to lynch Tom Robinson before his trial. Tom Robinson was also being discriminated during his trial by not only the juries but also by the audience at the trial. Although there was no real evidence that Tom had raped Mayella, it was almost as if the court had already planned on sentencing Tom. This shows how badly Tom, a black, is being discriminated. Maycomb is a pleasant town to live in but the residents are racist against blacks.

Perseverance
Perseverance is something that most people lack. Many people tend to give up on what they are doing once they fail or they encounter difficulties. People that give up and do not persevere till the end seldom succeed as they are unable to overcome the difficulties and failures that they have met. Only people that are willing to learn from their mistakes and persevere till they obtain success. These type of people are determined to complete their task and are undaunted by any obstacles that they may face. They normally obtain success.

Bullies are common around Singapore, be it bullying animals or people. Through bullying, the bully feel a sense of power and superiority over the bullied. These bullies are normally self centered and are lonely. Some bullies even take pictures of the bullied and posts it online to humiliate the victim even more. Most people that see the pictures normally laugh at the victim while others may pity the victim. Regardless of which, the victim will become a laughing stock. Bullies take no remorse for their actions and are actually amused by what they are doing.
Other people tend to bully small animals such as cats, dogs e.t.c. The reason they bully small animals is either for amusement or to vent their anger on helpless little animals. They either stone the animals, kick them, try to hang them or drown them in a river. These bullies take animals as nothing but mere objects. These bullies or rather murderers should treat animals as they would to any other humans as animals are living creatures as well. Animals are here to accompany us, the world belongs to not just us but every other living thing on it.

Loaning cash and casino gambling
Many people love gambling to take time off their work and have some relaxation. However, soon gambling becomes an addiction that they cannot get rid of. They keep gambling after losing as they want to earn back the money that they had lost. Eventually, the gamble will run out of money. However, the gamble still wants to continue gambling as he believes that he can earn back the money he lost on gambling. But he is already broke, so he has no other choice but to take loans from loan sharks.
Loan sharks charge incredibly high interest for loans they give out and use various threats to force their clients to return the money they had borrowed.
Most of the time the gambler is unable to return the cash he had borrowed and needs more money. Gambling not only ruins peoples lives, but also increases stress. Gamblers start feeling stress whenever they gamble as they are desperate to win, either to pay their debts or to make money.
