ROOTED IN THE PAST

Good manners are a treasure to the people who possess them, as
well as to the community they live in. Manners are taught, learnt, and
passed from generation to generation. Even hundreds of years ago,
children were taught to behave responsibly. They learnt to respect
seniority. When they passed an object to another person, they had to use
both hands. When they entered a room, they had to bow and greet the
oldest person first. Boys learnt to work hard to support their families. Girls
learnt to do housework, and to take care of others. Loyalty and honesty
were highly appreciated. When they made a mistake, they would not
let another person be punished for it. That would be cowardly and
mean. They were taught that families were strong, and everybody should
stick together in adversity. Fortunately, many of these values have been
well preserved. They have contributed to making the unique Vietnamese
culture and strengthening our society.
