Topic: "Write an essay on the following topic: "Discuss cultural differences as they exist in American and Vietnamese culture and suggest some ways to overcome them."
CONTENT
The difference of culture impacts so much to the way to living, the way of thinking and the way of doing business. America and Vietnam have a big difference in culture, religion and business. However, we live in a world where it is called flat world, where there is no restriction between countries. It requires us to integrate in order to work and study together.
America is a huge country with many races and cultures. American from all most regions in the world such as Europe, Asia, Africa, etc when they arrived in America they bring their culture, their belief and it had been maintained up to now. Because of mixed culture, people said that American culture is melting pot. Although American culture is mixed and still young, it influences to the economy, politics, military and lifestyle through the world.
To Vietnam, the American market is one of potential and plentiful market. American market is always a challenge for Vietnamese exporters. However, if they can access to the American market, they can prove their strength to reach all most of the other markets in the world. Nevertheless, American culture and Vietnamese culture do not have many similarities between cultural standards; making the two parties faced many difficulties and misunderstandings in the communication and business.
Difference with Vietnamese culture, the American dignify the independence, confidence and make decision by themselves. They were taught to stand on their own feet when they were only a child. I just want to share an image of two mothers who takes her 4 year-old-baby to a swimming pool, an American mother and a Vietnamese mother. How they treat with their baby.
