ROOTED IN THE PAST

Good manners are a treasure to the people who possess them, as well as to the community they
live Manners are taught, learnt, and passed from generation to generation.

Even hundreds of years ago, children were taught to behave responsibly. They learnt to respect
senio When they passed an object to another person, they had to use both hands. When they
entered a room, they had to bow and greet the oldest person first. Boys learnt to work hard to
support their families, learnt to do housework, and to take care of others. Loyalty and honesty
were highly appreciated. When they made a mistake, they would not let another person be
punished for it.That would be cowardly a mean. They were taught that families were strong, and
everybody should stick together in adversity. Fortunately, many of these values have been well
preserved. They have contributed to making unique Vietnamese culture, and strengthening our
society.
