I. Introduction
 Our country is in the process of integration and development,
Constantly changing, from the environment, society, people,
roads, …, However, that
change of society not
just from the outside,
importantly is from
inside, which will change
that inside factors and
other factors, specially
development society,
and family also core of
society, from lifestyle,
dress, time, ...

II. Body

1.Spousal relationship

In the west, all are equal, wife and husband have the same
responsibility, sometimes.
Husband works more than
wife, maybe child care, and
they said that wife and
husband share, help, it will
help the wife and husband
happier, Even men make a
lot of money or less money,
they still have
responsibilities in the family.
 In Viet Nam, husband is
making money, wife works
with wages lower but
homework are often assigned
to women, husband do not
need to do, many
Vietnamese women are
pretty tired because they
make money, do housework
and do child care. So there are many domestic violence cases. In
the west, even men make a lot of money or less money, they still
have responsibilities in the family, including the president. That is
the biggest difference between in 2 family.

2. Relationship Between children and parents

In the west, the

children here are quite
good, they often ask their
parents, parents leave
them free and special, the
child here are not crying
and angry to parents
disagreement.

In Viet Nam, children

here ask “why not do it?”,
“how?”,..., and parents do
not mind to answer,
explain, guide, so they cry
and be angry to parents,
force parents to agree and
 that is part of the effect from raising children which we will say at
the end.

3. The family relationship

In the west, they do

not live many generations
in a family, when the
children grow up, they have
to live alone. Grandma just
came home having a job,
playing, or caring for a child
when parents are away
from home, and maybe,
when they are, they old will be taken to the nursing home or live
alone.

In Vietnam, This relationship is very tight, usually they will

live together and enjoy old
age. They travel together,
do gardening, join the
community,... In summary,
in the west they respect
each other, not dependent
on each other, but in Viet
Nam a person with a big
title, the whole family is
helped.

4. Children raising

In the west, Parent

always respect the children,
let them sleep alone,
stumble and get up, believe
 that every kid is independent, should be respected, they restrict
criticism, punishment because it will violate personal rights, they
encourage their children to make choices even when it fails, they
are not afraid to argue with their children because they believe in
personal views, creative, independent, free, but opposite.

In Vietnam. Parents
will sleep with children,
help, support all the time,
Children are part of the
family, so children decide,
act big effect to family and
society is very important,
so, they think the way in
the west is extremely
selfish, and one more thing, Western parents like reading and
Vietnamese perfect mathematics, they believe read books every
day help children develop but in Vietnam they try to teach children
to do math since 3-4 years old and games like chess, dice,..., they
encourage more.

III. Conclution

In summary, each region has its own character, separate

culture, however we need specific measures. First, creating
cultural environment, exchanging countries. Second, find and fix
the advantages and disadvantages. The third, keeping and
promoting, just like that the country will development and other
countries love it better.
