Getting ready for his semester studying abroad in Singapore, Brayden buys a pack of gum to help pop his ears on the flight. When he lands in Singapore and goes through customs, he is advised that he must throw away the gum or be at risk of committing a crime. Why would Brayden want to throw away the gum, even though he just purchased it? Gum is illegal in all countries and he should not have purchased it. Brayden does not want to go against the norms in Singapore. While gum is not illegal in many places, it is against the law in Singapore. Brayden should not have to dispose of the gum because it is his right to have it.
