INTRODUCTION
I. Setting
1.1 The necessity of the research.
Every member of the society needs to know their past and each nation
has to know its history. One country will lose if it does not know its origin.
The traditional ethics is prominent among many valuable traditions of
Vietnam. It has been existing along with different stages of development of
the country from building, keeping and developing. It is the transference
among different generations and different socioeconomic patterns.
Therefore, it is necessary to promote traditional values, especially ethnic
value, in order to build new lifestyle for Vietnamese people in general and
students in particular. This is also an urgent requirement for the career of
innovating and modernizing of the country. The documents of the 10th
meeting of the communist party confirm to: build and complete the value
and dignity for the Vietnamese; preserve and promote the national character
in the periods of industrializing, modernizing and globalizing; cultivate
cultural value among the youth in general and students in particular,
focusing on the life ideal, life styles, intelligence capacity, ethics and
cultural stuff of Vietnamese people. Students are a great force who is
intellect, active and quick to learn the new things in all fields of life.
The value of traditional ethnics is a factor which creates the cultural
character of the country. In the development stages of the country, the ethnic
value is also an interior and indispensible factor, which helps to push the
movement and development of the culture.
There is no doubt that there is close relationship between traditional
ethnic value and the building of new lifestyles. However, the question is in
the market economy and globalization, what are the roles of the traditional
ethnic value? Is it a block or a motivation? Or is it an orientation factor for
the building of new lifestyles? And what will be the content and
requirement for the promotion of national traditional values for Vietnamese
young learners? What are the methods and solutions to promote new
lifestyles for students?
Therefore, in order to build new way of life, we have been continuing to
increase the awareness of the society in general and young learners in
particular about the roles and the importance of traditional ethnic value. This
raises many problems: how do students have right ways in modern society
where many ethnic values have been changing; how students will have real
emotion, right attitudes and solid belief to build their own way of life. It is
2
the traditional value which has an important role in creating particular
lifestyle of the Vietnamese. The degradation of ethnic value and lifestyle has
been occurring complicatedly. Its manifestation cannot be ignored anymore.
Egoistical and pragmatic way of life has become common, which is a
serious problem for our society. In the tenth Meeting of the Communist
Party, we judged that: ‘The statement of degradation in people’s ethnics,
lifestyle and the increase in social evils and crimes have become a worrying
problem, especially in the young.’
Therefore, we can recognize the vital role of career of ‘human.
Promoting the nation’s tradition value is vital, which is to build new
lifestyle for students. Hence, the study on the role of nation’s tradition
value for Vietnamese learners is an urgent issue. For these reasons, we
chose this topic ‘The nation’s traditional values and their roles on
building new lifestyle for Vietnamese students in the context of
globalization’ as our thesis essay topic in the field of Philosophy.
