THE SYSTEM OF VIETNAMESE CULTURAL VALUES ‑ FROM GENERAL AWARENESS TO IDENTIFICATION IN SELECTED CULTURAL FIELDS

Abstract

Learning
about
the
culture
of
a
nation,
in
the
end,
is
aimed
at
the
process
of
identifying
the
values
and
value
 systems
crystallized
on
the
historical
process
of
formation,
movement
and
survival
of
that
nation.
In
recent
 decades,
many
social
science
and
humanities
works
have
been
interested
at
different
levels,
scopes
and
degrees
 when
aiming
to
survey
and
research
the
values
and
cultural
value
systems
of
families
and
nations
of
ethnic
 groups
in
the
multi‑ethnic
national
community
of
Vietnam.
Discussing
this
research
subject,
the
article
once
 again
approaches
to
generally
perceive
some
issues
related
to
the
concepts
of
values
and
cultural
value
systems.
 From
there,
it
aims
at
identifying
the
cultural
value
system
in
some
cultural
fields
on
the
historical
process
of
 building
and
defending
the
nation
for
thousands
of
years.
At
the
same
time,
based
on
theoretical
and
practical
 grounds,
it
contributes
to
suggesting
a
number
of
issues
related
to
the
task
of
implementing
the
strategy
of
 protecting
and
promoting
cultural
values/value
systems
in
the
current
development
of
Vietnam.
