Every society is like nature, constantly changing. The stability of society is just superficial
stability. In fact, it always changes in itself. Social change will lead to internal factors and
other factors. And the family is an inherent element of society, which can be considered
a primary social group, a "cell" of society. In the early years of reform, with the strong
impact of the market mechanism, followed by the mass influx of lifestyles and ways of
living of Western society into our country has changed somewhat traditional values,
especially in Vietnamese families whether in rural or urban areas. Depending on each
ethnic group, each region, clan, family changes more or less. Specifically, here are two
traditional Vietnamese families and modern Vietnamese families.

the tray, chat and enjoy the spacious space at the end of the day.

up children to go to market to cook rice. However, the only dinner in the family
