They love knowledge They have quick understanding, smart and creative to cope with short-termed difficulties They have solidarity They help each other chiefly in difficult situations and poverty They are both practical and idealistic don’t develop either of these tendencies into theories Writing about the typical characteristics of the Vietnamese people.:
Writing about the typical characteristics of the Vietnamese people. VietNam is a small country. However, there are 54 ethnic groups, the Kinh or Viet accounts for the largest part. So, there are some characteristics shared by most Vietnameses. The first, they love knowledge and have quick understanding, but hardly learn from the beginning to the end of things, so their knowledge isn’t systemic or fundamental. In addition, Vietnamese people don’t study just for the sake of knowledge (when small, they study because of their families; growing up, they study for the sake of prestige or good jobs). The second, they have solidarity and help each other chiefly in difficult situations and poverty; in better conditions, this characteristic rarely exists. Finally, they are both practical and idealistic, but don’t develop either of these tendencies into theories. * THE END
