Viet Nam's rich and diverse culture is vividly reflected in its cuisine, architecture, arts, and music. This is a unique blend of tradition and modernity, Diario LaR reported.
The article highlights that throughout its history, Viet Nam has undergone significant social and cultural transformations, shaped by globalization, colonial influences, and wartime experiences, all contributing to the country's cultural diversity.
The Uruguayan newspaper praises Viet Nam's rapid economic growth in recent decades, which has significantly influenced the nation's urbanization.
Cities like Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City have seen rapid population growth due to rural-to-urban migration driven by job and education opportunities.
According to Diario LaR, education plays a fundamental role in Viet Nam's social transformation.
The Vietnamese government has invested in expanding public education and improving access to higher education, fostering a skilled workforce, enhancing social mobility, and promoting women's empowerment.
Notably, Viet Nam has made remarkable progress in advancing gender equality in recent decades.
Women now hold increasingly prominent roles in society, actively participating in the workforce, as well as in political and cultural spheres.
Amid cultural shifts, many traditions and customs are preserved, while Viet Nam also integrates influences from various cultures, creating a distinctive cultural fusion.
Globalization has significantly impacted Vietnamese culture, introducing new technologies, fashion trends, and modern lifestyles. Yet, Vietnamese youth manage to blend these global influences with their deep-rooted traditional values.
Viet Nam's social development and cultural changes reflect the resilience and creativity of its people throughout history, Diario LaR emphasized./.
