In my opinion, yes. We do need philosophy or religion today.
First and for all, religion is a teaching for us to practice. Not only that, we can learn from it and use it for our daily lives. It helps us to be a good person and respect ourselves and also to the whole world. It made us realise how important the world is. We have to learn to appreciate, to thank and to know what we get and receive.
Sometimes bad things do occur in our daily lives. Have you ever heard the quote, " Life is difficult ".? Life isn't easy, isn't smooth and isn't fair. Its not that we did not do things right, its just a fate. Sometimes, we lost faith in ourself. That why we need a guide, we need a teaching and we need the correct path to lead us to the right way.
Can you imagine if there is no religion, no philosophy ? The world would be filled with lots of freedom. Yes, we do need freedom in our daily lives, but sometimes, we do misused the freedom that is gifted for us. Let’s view some examples .
One of them is some parents give too much freedom to their children. Why ? Their children will be influenced from bad companies. They will be found at the street late midnight or worse, in the morning at 1am plus. Some would smoke, take drugs and even sell drugs. The problem is then published in newspapers because the rising of the similar problems in the community. In the same time, the children will forget their own religion when they have their own “pleasure” moments. They did not respect the community, the world.
Then, the parents who read the article would give limited freedom to their children. As you can see the problem doent only affect the children who abused the freedom, but also the children who longs for the best freedom to enjoy.
So from this, maybe, some of us do not need religion. But what about the next generation ? Do they really need religion ? If they don’t know about religions, wouldn’t it be a pity ?

FOOD AND CULTURE
As i browse through the dishes at, http://www.cnngo.com/singapore/none/40-singapore-foods-we-cant-live-without-810208, i like the Goreng pisang, Curry puff , Dum briyani, Murtabak, Roti prata and BBQ chicken wings the best. Out of all, my favourite food is the BBQ chicken wings. There is a reason i like it. But before that, i want to point out that most of the dishes that i like are from the Indian and Malay cuisine.
I started to like goreng pisang, the Malay snack, since the day my mum brought it up after she browsed through a cooking book. I think the dish is attractive enough to catch her eye. She made the dish during the day i came home from my primary 5 camp. How far i know about goreng pisang, the important ingredient to make the dish is banana. Thus, the dish has a taste of banana. Goreng pisang is yellow brownish in color and it is very sweet. The sweetness taste is the one i like the most!
Next dish i like is the curry puff. In malay, curry puffs is known as karipap. I won't like it if there is no potatoes inside the curry puffs. Ha ha. Curry puffs is introduced from the malay origin. Different ingredients example, the potatoes, has the different taste of the curry puff.
Roti prata is nice too! I really love it and I'm so thankful because it is sold at one of the stalls in my school canteen. Sometimes, i will eat it with my friends and it really taste good when the roti prata is eaten with curry!
For the dum briyani, the dish most of the time is cooked during events like wedding ceremonies. I like the dish because it tastes very nice. It is unique as the rice is in yellow in color and it is from the indian cuisine. The dum briyani taste good when we eat the rice with chicken! Ha ha.
Lastly, this is the food that i can't stop loving it. It is called the murtabak. Again, it is also from the indian cuisine. I wil eat it with my family sometimes during the weekends. We will buy it from the hawker centre nearby our house and eat it at home together.
Before i end my post, i would want to say that it is really possible that one of the ways to foster family bonding ties is by eating many dishes from different cuisine, etc indian cuisine, malay cuisine, chinese cuisine and a few more others. Example, when this is taken place during the weekends or holidays. This helps one to communicate with each other more than weekdays as almost all in the family is busy. Not only travelling or picnicking with family, but eating together could be one of the list of family bonding.
