Vietnam - US, the difference in teaching children ^^

The distance between two countries, The U.S and Vietnam, is a half of the Earth, so there are many different things between two cultures. One of them is raising their children and teach them know how to live in the society. Even though there are many similar ideas in this philosophy, it is many big different distance between two cultures on this philosophy.
First off, in The U.S cultures, everyone must be independent acting with their own ideas when they live independently. They cannot live depending on their parents; such as asking for money to shop, to buy some candies, or to have a meal, etc. People must be independent. No one can live with their children forever and offer them whatever they want. That is why we, Vietnamese people, have the same idea with the American. However, Vietnamese teach their children respect their parents and the older people, we teach them know to show their love to their parents and older people. For example, I think it is normal in the U.S that the older people will be let live in the nursing house and their children will visit them when they are free. However, Vietnamese people usually take care of their older people because they are taught that when they are young, they live depend on their parents and their grandparents, so when their parents are old, they have to take care of their parents. Even though Vietnamese have to work hard and have many social relationships, they still want their parents live with them and they will take care of them. Unless, the other people will think that they are undutiful and people may think little of them; even hate them. In conclusion, even though Vietnamese teach their children to be independence in living, they are different with the American because they also teach their children respect what they have done for their children.
Second, the American are taught to be confident in deciding and settling whatever they want to change; if they do not like anything, they just do whatever they can to change it, they do not mind what other people think about. However, in Vietnamese’s culture, we mind about that. The parents do not teach their children to be confident to work and tell their own ideas, but also teach them respect and pay attention to their neighbor or people around them. The parents teach us think carefully before we decide to do anything because our actions may cause many negative effects to people around us. Therefore, we have to think to make the negative effects to be minimum. For that reason, the easy way to do it is to ask their older people to get their advisement because the older people have much more experience in the life, so they are helpful. In conclusion, Vietnamese do not only teach their children to be confident, but also tech them pay attention to people around them.
In conclusion, Vietnamese do not teach their children to be confidence and independence like what the American do, but also teach them to respect their older people and to pay attention to people around them. For that reason, it causes many different ideas about human rights between Vietnamese and American.

States should provide free services to illegal aliens and their children


All peoples in the world are born equal, enjoy the right to happiness and freedom. In these rights, it includes enjoying the free services; such as education and health care, from the government even though they are illegal aliens and their children. Are illegal aliens and their children human? Yes, they are. Therefore, they have the human’s right: live, freedom, and happiness. If they do not receive the free services from the government, how will be their lives and their children’s lives? They are absolutely poor, so the adult people do not have enough money to buy milk, food for their children and they in fact cannot let their children go to school. In the modern life, they cannot be “normal” like everyone. They will be stunted, malnutrition, and may even have brain insufficiency because of no money and no free services. Is it fair while someone have the luxurious lives, while some people, like the illegal aliens and their children, have to live at under normal-life and cannot receive the free service? No, it is unfair. If they are human, they have to be behaved equally: to have the right to receive all the free services. In conclusion, the government should provide free services to illegal aliens and their children.

What kinds of business should we do during the Valentine day ?


If you are asked that question, I bet that you all answer "chocolate and roses". Yes, if I asked this question about 20 years ago, your answer might be right. However, nowadays, your answer is not correct. According to my research ^^, people JUST give present to their love; not also their parents or relatives, etc. They just care their love and want to their partner's sympathy. Therefore, they just spend a lot of money for their plans with partner: a romantic party, which just has two of them in a expensive restaurant, many wonderful dishes, a really old horn, etc. Then, they in fact make love. It's a absolutely action of human: eat-wine-and have sex. Since it's the Valentine day, people will be "better" in "..." (I think you know ^^) So... they will do it many many times and... in fact they have to use many CONDOMS with many flavors to increase their "pleasures" or "comforts".

Therefore, if you want to do business during the Valentine day, I advice that you should sell many condoms with many different flavors ^^

Good luck in your business.

Dr. of crazy idea in business.

What's good and what's bad about majority rule ?


We have the fact that nothing is perfect. The majority rule is also not perfect: it has both good and bad effect. The Majority is the decision rule that people choose one of some options, which has more than haft of the votes. For example, if we have one hundred people in a meeting, and we have to decide that which partners A, B, or C we will collaborate for long time, we then vote and there are eighty people (80% people) decide to choose A, so we have to choose A. For the good side, the majority rule expresses the ideas of majority group, which has almost people agree. People then will follow the majority group. Therefore, they realize for the most common ideas. In fact, they will decrease the harm for most of people. With the same sample above, there may be twenty percents (20%) people feel not good or they do not have well instead of eighty percents of people. Is it good or not? I think most of us will say, “Yes, we should follow to eighty percents because… they are the majority group…and we should be for sake of the most common people…etc.” However, have you asked that if the twenty people there really do not agree, they will react very strong? What will be happening? Absolutely they may have a war or at least have an argument with the most common group. It is the negative way of the majority rule. I agree that we should depart of the most common group; however, we cannot deny all of the interest of minority people. If we do so, the minority people will feel hurt and they will react strongly. Therefore, in my opinion, we should harmonize all good of two groups for more interests in the future.
