Everything has always changed markedly in some different period, and it brings
people many effects in all over the world. In Vietnam, there are many changes from
1970s to now. The most attractive change is SaiGon-the biggest and most beautiful
city in VietNam.
Firstly, people’s life was so difficult that they didn’t live in peace and fulfilled
because they were in war with other powerful countries. They didn’t have enough
rice to eat, money to raise their children, so their child couldn’t go to school to get knowledge. This makes
people becomes unknowledgeable citizen to develop their own country in the future. Unlike this generation,
people in modern lifetime has better life when they can have opportunities to make money from their work,
buy everything they need, and everybody goes to school to improve themselves . This changes are effected
positively to people in HO Chi Minh city particularly and in Vietnam generally.
Secondly, following the first change, if people can have a chance to study, they will become more
intellectual person. In the past, people just knew about their work in the field. Even they didn’t have enough
time to take care of their children, they didn’t realize about the country’s growth or children’s future. Now,
modern parents take note the best way which can develop their children and give them the most wonderful

the protection of the Earth, development of children rights,…I this period, people such as government,
parents, old people are always worried about some cases like the destruction of the World, violence of
children,…They can become more erudite than in the past.
In general, everything should be changed dramatically in every fields ,especially about the human’s
awareness in society.
