Ho Chi Minh ideology and Vietnamese political system

Tran Thi Quang Hoa

Abstract: Although Ho Chi Minh did not deeply and concretely discuss the political system or the factors of the new political system that Vietnam should build up, through his speeches, writings and his life and work, we can understand his aspiration and points of view on the Vietnamese political system. This paper analyzes Ho Chi Minh’s points of view on the foundations and key objectives of the new political system, basic and important factors and their role in the political system as well as their reciprocal relations. Ho Chi Minh points of view show that these factors are harmoniously combined with their self-supervision mechanism, close and concrete mutual supervision. That is the model, the important guidance for the whole Party and people to make coordinated, whole-hearted efforts in building an independent and free country, a society in which for the rights of the “peoples” are first and foremost placed.

linguistics perspective

Ta Thi Thu Hang

Abstract: The English songs play an important role in teaching programs in various countries. Of all topics, songs about mother have drawn attraction of listeners and learners. Until now, there has not been much research on mother songs in the light of linguistics. So, I do this research with project “Mother in English and Vietnamese Songs from Systemic Functional Linguistics Perspective”. The study is conducted to figure out the similarities and differences in the way of representing mother image in view of systemic linguistic perspective. Because of limited time, we confine the research to a manageable scope: analyzing mother songs in terms of TRANSITIVITY system. Three principal methods employed in the study are descriptive and comparative method and discourse analysis method. Through descriptive method, the kind of transitivity process which is mostly used in carving mother image in each language will be illustrated. In fulfilling the focuses of the study, the comparative method and discourse analysis method are applied to the identification of prominent features of mother songs in English and Vietnamese. The paper also provides conclusions on the images to which mother is compared, and these images are closely associated with cultural and historical factors. On that basis, a number of comments, discussions, proposals designed exercises will be mentioned.

Keywords: Mother; systemic linguistics; transitivity; descriptive; comparative.

Right after the Indian King of Asoka holding the third Buddhist Council, he sent missionary monks dispatching into 9 routes of different localities to propagate the Buddha’s doctrine. Through long history and dynasties, Thailand Buddhism has increasingly been more diverse and far more attractive to the followers. The Buddha taught, “put down the sword to be a Buddhist” or “putting down the sword is also to throw away the hateful and hatred” and “getting rid off and then become a Buddha, because the Buddha nature resided in our heart”. However, with Thailand, a Buddhist country, but was not always peaceful. There were rebellions, violence and bloodshed, floods or tsunami etc.; however, Buddha’s teaching is somewhat the spiritual medicine to heal the pain of the people in this society.  

For more than 700 years since the foundation of the nation, Thailand Buddhism has always been existed even in political life i.e. the law. The Constitution of 1946, 1949 and the current Constitution (issued on 11-10-1997) have emphasized that “The king must respect the Buddhist dharma and was a supporter of Buddhism” (Article VII-HP 1997) or “the king follows Buddhist dharma and the guardians of this religion” (Article IX -HP 1997).
