Abstract
This paper examines how Vietnam was traditionally a society in which women occupied a lowly position relative to men in the family and in society. It looks at how the war years changed this a great deal as women took on jobs hitherto considered the sole province of men. It also discusses how since the Marxist socialist government took power in 1954 there have been many government sponsored attempts to improve the position of women.

From the Paper
"In traditional rural settings in their own country, Vietnamese women also experienced less economic power than their male counterparts; however, women were vitally involved in the task of rice cultivation, from which most Vietnamese earn a livelihood. The Vietnamese adage, "Men plow, women transplant, the buffalo pulls the harvest" reflects the traditional gender division of labor in the process of rice cultivation. According to Kibria, "Women not only played an important part in rice cultivation but also did most of the household work. Women were responsible for childcare and housework and for taking care of household gardens and livestock." Nevertheless, in spite of their important roles in a wide range of economic activities, women's economic participation continues to be regarded as being secondary and peripheral to that of men, who are considered to be the primary breadwinners in rural Vietnamese society."

Vietnamese Cuisine, Culture and Society, 2005.
A discussion on Vietnam's modern history and its impact on Vietnamese culture.

Abstract
The paper discusses how the modern history of Vietnam's society and culture is a complex narrative that covers not only the Vietnamese war against the French and later the Americans, but also deep cultural divisions within Vietnam itself and, more recently, between Vietnamese in Southeast Asia and the many Vietnamese immigrants who have settled abroad. The paper examines how the complexity of this history can be seen in the challenge of answering the fundamental question of Vietnamese identity: "What does it mean to be Vietnamese?". The paper analyzes whether Vietnamese identity is limited to those occupying a geographic space at the southeast portion of the Asian continent, or whether it can be considered a broader social and cultural identity.

Vietnamese Nationalism, 2002.

Abstract
The paper shows that national identity is crucial to the Vietnamese because they have an extensive history of colonial rule, beginning in 2nd Century B.C. and ending in 1945 when the Vietnamese drove the French out of their land. The paper traces the rise in Vietnamese nationalism until Ho Chi Minh rose as a communist and nationalist leader in the 1940s to unite his fellow countrymen.
From the Paper
"Vietnamese nationalism and anti- colonialism are indistinguishable because many of the nationalist organizations revolted against French colonial rule. National pride and unique national identity were possible only when oppressive colonial rulers were defeated. From the mid 18th century to 1945, France influenced Vietnam through physical presence like building hydraulic dams, and indirect presence by France manipulating Vietnamese officials as if they were puppets . Between 1904 and 1960, Vietnamese leaders formed numerous revolutionary organizations . Modern Vietnamese nationalism, for the sake of this brief paper, begins at the turn of the century."

Abstract
This paper discusses the impact of 11-year U.S.-Vietnamese War on North Vietnam?s economy, society and culture. In the postwar years, the pace of change in Vietnam is satisfactory but, unfortunately it is limited only to the realm of culture and social values while the economic sector is still desperately looking for a revival. The change on this front is expected soon with the softening of America? attitude towards its ex-enemy.
From the Paper
"The 20th century was a period of great social and political upheaval for Vietnam. The US-Vietnam war that lasted eleven years changed the face of a country, which had already been injured by severe poverty and intense political instability. It is important to understand that the war did not only change things at home but also transformed the state of international relations. Vietnam suffered socially, economically and politically because of this war and even though it won in the end, the victory did not exactly made any difference as far as development was concerned. But even though the war had far reaching implications, it is quite interesting to know that Vietnamese do not give as much importance to this war as we do, here in the United States. This is because the two countries and their people do not share same views on the subject of Vietnam-America war. In other words, while we assign tremendous importance to this event, to Vietnamese the only reason it was significant was because America was involved. (Lamb, 2002)"

Abstract
The paper investigates the causes, objectives and results of the Vietnamese Revolution of 1945, led by Ho Chi Mingh, in reaction to years of slavery inflicted by French imperialists.
From the Paper
"The Vietnamese revolutionaries had many objectives. First, and foremost, they sought to free Vietnam from the rule of oppressive French imperialism, and subsequent Japanese occupation. The Revolutionaries sought not only to free themselves from oppression, but to create a great society of equality, where no person was superior to each other. The Revolutionaries wanted to improve the living conditions of the common people, and free them from slavery and poor working conditions. This communist objective led the Revolutionaries to attempt to create a state where all citizens were equal."

Abstract
The paper begins with an outline of the four waves of Vietnamese refugees who have attempted to find asylum in the U.S. since the fall of Saigon in 1975. The writer traces the hardships these people have met along the way, looking specifically at the insensitivity many countries have shown towards the boat people, refugees who encountered tragic events while traveling towards a country of refuge.
From the Paper
"The plight of the boat people lies at the heart of a political quandary that involves many countries. It illustrates the intricacies involved in the diplomatic negotiations that ensue when the international community comes together to deal with an extremely difficult problem. Since 1984, Western countries, such as the U.S., have lowered their quotas for receiving the refugees. However, by decreasing the number of refugees accepted in the Western countries, first asylum countries, such as Thailand and Hong Kong, are bearing the brunt of the problem. They are using their resources to sustain increasing numbers of refugees who are not being resettled elsewhere (Santoli 28)."

From the Paper
"When Saigon fell to the North Vietnamese in 1975, the first wave of Vietnamese immigrants to the US consisted mainly of the residue of South Vietnam's elite bureaucracy, chiefly political in their orientation. The second wave, coming 1979 and the early 1980s, comprised what were called boat people, refugees from the North Vietnamese communist crackdown against disloyal citizens and a war with the People's Republic of China, and settling in a variety of locales around the country. The second wave of Vietnamese immigrants proved to be more entrepreneurial in focus. Indeed, the determination of South Vietnamese immigrants and their families to find a way to make money in the US put them in sometimes dangerous competition with established American businesses; indeed, American hostility to Vietnamese shrimpers at the Texas Gulf sometimes spilled over into ..."

Abstract
This paper is about the North Vietnamese Army and the National Liberation Front, the forces that opposed the U.S. Military during the Vietnam War. The paper describes how these two groups were disorganized, unskilled and uneducated.
From the Paper
"Contrary to what some historians believe, the North Vietnamese Army and the National Liberation Front during the Vietnam War were anything but an organized and efficient unit, for in reality, these two entities were disorganized, peasant forces that operated under the so-called leadership of the Communists in North Vietnam and their counterparts in the Soviet Union and Communist China. According to A.J. Langguth, the North Vietnamese Army and the National Liberation Front, headed by Nguyen Huu Tho, "were hardly the fighters" which a prominent American journalist had deemed them, for following one of many skirmishes, the troops "had killed only one unarmed farmer who was living with his wife and children in a hut painted with anti-government slogans" (160-61)."

From the Paper
"The conflict between Kampuchea, or Cambodia, and Vietnam dates back to the late 1970s, though tensions between the two regions date back centuries to earlier wars and incursions on both sides. The present conflict came about in 1978 when Hanoi launched an offensive with twelve to fourteen divisions and three Khmer regiments, a total invasion force of 100,000 people. The Vietnamese units crossed the Cambodian frontier in five spearheads, initially directed into northeastern Cambodia. It is believed that in concentrating its forces in this way, Vietnam may have had several objectives. One may have been to capture as quickly as possible substantial expanses of Cambodian territory which had earlier been a spawning ground for the Khmer Rouge in the late 1960s. An early occupation would also have preempted ... "

Abstract
This paper explains that the Vietnam War was a war between the forces of communism (the norrth) and of capitalism and democracy (the south) and was particularly bloody because of technological advancements, such as napalm and agent-orange. The author points out that Bao Ninh's "The Sorrow of War" is both an anti-war and an anti-heroic novel in which war is not glorified but rather equated with suffering and sorrow. The paper relates that Duong Thu Huong in his novel "Paradise of the Blind" presents socialism positively as it allows people of humble origins to rise up through the ranks.
From the Paper
"Land reform is seen as a necessary step in "Paradise of the Blind", but it was not without its errors. The first socialists were perhaps too strident in their methods. Thus, the "Special Section for the Rectification of Errors" came into being. This group of socialists acknowledged that in the pasts errors had been made. This willingness to accept that socialism is not perfect is a positive aspect of Vietnamese socialism as portrayed in "Paradise of the Blind". Socialism has evolved. It gives the people a chance to correct errors. The atmosphere in the time of the Special Section for the Rectification of Errors was one of "laughter, tears, and sighs of relief." Socialism ushered in a happy time in Vietnamese history, even if the initial days might have been a little rough.""

From the Paper
"Since the fall of Saigon in 1975, Vietnamese refugees have flocked to the U.S. in four waves in order to escape from the political persecution of the Communist government. The first wave of refugees consisted of successful and wealthy Vietnamese who were evacuated from Saigon by the Americans. In an efficient evacuation campaign, 120,000 Vietnamese were carried to four domestic military bases by ship and plane (Weiss 32). In the late seventies, the second wave, comprising ethnic Chinese and fishermen escaped to the U.S. in boats (Weiss 33). After the then-Secretary of State George Schultz?s proposal in 1984, Amerasian children who were outcasts in the Vietnamese society were allowed to enter the U.S (?Forgotten Children,? 32). Former political prisoners who were released from the notorious re-education camps constituted the fourth wave of..."
