Recommended: Freedom of speech and what it entails america

America is famous about freedom. Freedom of speech is one of the most important thing for not only American people, but also all people in the world. However, free speech is different from each country. Vietnam is limited about freedom of speech. In another word, this nation does not have free speech for people. This is an opposite side of America. Therefore, there are significant differences between America and Vietnam according to freedom of speech on the internet, in the classroom, and at workplace. First of all, freedom of speech in America is different from Vietnam on the internet. In Vietnam, people cannot upload something which has bad influence on another person, especially government even it is the truth. The reason is “Vietnam continued …show more content…

It is the better way to teach children. They can learn the knowledge not only from the book and the teacher, but also from the question they ask during the class time (Taskin 53). Also, students get used to present in front of people and become more confident. When people go to college or go to work, they have several speeches and presentations. If they are not prepared from school, they will be failed. In conclusion, there are differences between American and Vietnamese classroom. One has freedom while another one prohibits to speak during class time, so it leads to positive results with freedom and negative results with prohibition. Finally, freedom of speech at workplace in Vietnam is also various from America. There is no rule that says no freedom of speech where people work in Vietnam. However, everybody knows the truth. People should not talk badly or say something wrong to their employers. If so, they will get fired. For Vietnamese employees, bosses are always right; they should not argue with their bosses. They follow everything their employers say without question. As a result, the quality of working may not reach the best. Staffs also feel uncomfortable when they are

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of Lyndon B. Johnson's Letter To Ho Chi Minh

    The Vietnam War brought many tears and casualties to both the United States and Vietnam. Millions of soldiers lost their lives in the time consuming battle. On February 8, 1967 President Lyndon B. Johnson wrote a letter to Ho Chi Minh, Dictator of Vietnam at the time. President Johnson’s letter expresses his hopes of ending this conflict that has gone on so long in Vietnam. President Ho Chi Minh replied back on February 15, 1967 stating that it had been the United States that prolonged the wicked war. President Ho Chi Minh’s reply to President Johnson was the more persuasive of the two letters, because he appealed more to pathos, used stronger and bolder diction, and asked an important rhetorical question.

  • The Battle of Long Tan

    The Vietnam War was a vicious conflict predominately between the United States and Australia against The Viet Cong and The North Vietnamese. Initially the public supported the war, however the American president of the time, Lyndon B. Johnson, exaggerated how easy and worldwide the war was to attract further support. When he called for “more flags” to be represented in South Vietnam only the Philippines, the Republic of South Korea, Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand indicated a willingness to contribute some form of military aid. By doing this “it enabled Johnson to portray the developing war as international to show it must be dealt with and gain support,” (Hastings, 2003). The outcome of the Vietnam War was ensured because the governments of the United States and Australia could not maintain their publics’ support due to the popular culture of the time. This was because much of the war was shown on television or other popular culture, so events like the Battle of Long Tan could be seen by families and people of all ages in their living rooms; this was the first time they could see how bad a war can actually be.

  • The USA Should NOT Have Entered the Vietnam War

    945 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Vietnam War took place in between 1947- 1975. It consisted of North Vietnam trying to make South Vietnam a communism government. The United States later joined this conflict because of the stress North Vietnam was putting to South Vietnam to become a government that America did not want. The main reason why America joined was because of a theory called the Domino Effect. America and Russia were going through what has been dubbed the Cold War. The Domino Effect is the theory that communism will spread form one country to another. United states does not want this because our government is a democracy and communism opposes everything we stand for. America fearing communism was growing, stepped into Vietnam with America’s interest in mind, instead of Vietnam’s. There are several reason why American should have not gotten involved with this war. The most important reason was that America government officials made to much of a big deal about communism. This might sound cynical, but America to a certain degree did over react. Let it be said that it is much easier to say this after the fact. By looking back at McCarthyism, we can see the silliness of this fear. There is a serious side though. Thousands of people dies for a government that has no impact of their daily life. What regime Vietnam was going to change over to had no effect on the every day cycle of the United States. So truly, one can say, this can not one thing to do with America, its government and people.

That sounds more like the U.S is trying to invade Vietnam and take all their freedoms from the people. “Not even the President can say that we are defending freedom in Vietnam.” That should tell you more than what we are doing in Vietnam, the president can't even make up his mind of what we are doing there it's more of we have mixed feeling is the seats of congress. They are telling the people of the united stated that we are doing this for you but it doesn't reflect off the actions in Vietnam. It has brought the feeling of doubting the government to the people of the U.S. “ It has led to even more vigorous governmental efforts to control information, to manipulate the press and pressure and persuade the public through distorted or downright false documents such as the White Paper on Vietnam.” Americans need to act and not be defined as the ones trying to reach our freedom by the destruction of other

    The Vietnam War was the longest war in America's history of involvement. Twenty years of hell, land mines, cross-fire, and death. Vietnam was divided by the Geneva Accord. The north being communist run by Ho Chi Minh. The south being anti-Communist run by Ngo Dinh Diem. Before Vietnam was separated, it was run by France. France had ruled most of Indochina since the late 1800s. The Vietnamese were unhappy with the way the French were controlling, therefore, many of them took refuge in China. When in China, they began to follow the lead of Ho Chi Minh, who wanted to model the Vietnamese Declaration of Independence as that of the U.S. version. In the 1940s, Japan had taken over Vietnam which upset Ho Chi Minh and his revolutionaries when they had returned a year later.

    There were many events that lead up the Vietnam War, it started in 1945 with the hostilities between the French and Vietminh. “Geopolitical Strategy, economics, domestic US politics, and cultural arrogance shaped the growing American involvement in Vietnam” (Anderson 1). As a matter of fact, the Vietnam War was several wars, but it was not until 1962 that America had their first combat mission, however, Americans were killed during ambushes by the Vietnamese before the first combat mission. There is much controversy over the reasons for the Vietnam War, supported by the several different books and articles written about the war. “The most famous atrocity occurred in a tiny hamlet called My Lai in March 1968” (Detzer 127). History shows that the reaction of many Americans to the attack by US soldiers on the village of My Lai during the Vietnam War was opposition, and the actions of the US soldiers during the My Lai Massacre will be forever remembered as a significant part of the Vietnam War and American History.
