The Preservation and Promotion National Values in Vietnam Today

Abstract

  Vietnam's national values ​​are a solid foundation that helps Vietnamese people build and develop the country. These values ​​not only reflect a unique cultural identity but are also the driving force to overcome difficulties and challenges and move towards a better future.  Vietnam's national values ​​are the core elements that define the country's identity, shaping the country's cultural, social, and spiritual fabric. This research analyzes the preservation and promotion of national values in Vietnam, considering the current socio-economic context. It aims to examine how Vietnam has maintained its cultural identity while adapting to the pressures of globalization and modernization.  Using dialectical materialism and historical materialism methodologies along with logical-historical, analytical, and synthetic methods, the article presents several issues about the process of exchanging and acculturation of human cultural values to enrich the Vietnamese national values based on absorbing and promoting progressive and positive factors as well as creating new and modern values in response to development requirements. At the same time, it also points out the need to preserve and bring into play national values in the new context. This study may guide strategies for cultural preservation and inform initiatives aimed at fostering national pride and identity in a globalized world.
