Disadvantages of watching television

Sex, crime, and violence are frequently depicted on television and may have negative

effects on impressionable children (and adults!) Kids who see violent acts are more

likely to display aggressive or violent behavior and also to believe that the world is a

scary place and that something bad is going happen to them Ongoing studies have

shown a lasting correlation between watching violence on television and aggression that

begins in childhood and continues into adulthood Viewers sometimes imitate violent,

criminal, sexual, or other risky behavior they see on television and end up in trouble, in

jail, or in a hospital as a result

Watching too much television is not good for your health Studies have shown that there

is a correlation between watching television and obesity Excessive TV watching (more

than 3 hours a day) can also contribute to sleep difficulties, behavior problems, lower

grades, and other health issues

Television makes us antisocial, taking the place of family and friends

It’s a waste of time Watching television fills the time a person might have spent doing

important, enriching things like interacting socially with other human beings, being

physically active, discovering the outdoors, reading, using one’s own imagination, or

accomplishing other things like working or doing homework or chores, or spending time

with enriching hobbies like art, music, etc

Television might be addictive For those who watch a lot, it’s very hard to quit, so it is

similar to a dependency like alcoholism or any another addiction Recent studies have

found that up to 12% percent of TV-watchers feelunhappy about the amount of TV they

watch, consider themselves addicts yet feel incapable of stopping themselves

Discover New Cultures Clutter-free Life Cheaper Living The Ability to Live and Visit Anywhere

BENEFITS OF BEING NOMADIC

1

Owning a home naturally lends itself to clutter You have so much room, why not fill it? Nomadic life removes all this space and leaves you with the bare essentials Backpackers trim their belongings down to what they can fit in their packs; and RV-ers must limit their possessions to what can fit in their RV While your new RV is spacious and roomy, you will think twice about loading up your old treadmill

2

Removing a rent or mortgage payment frees up a large amount of cash While living on the road can make holding a traditional job difficult, many nomads are turning to the Internet to fund their journeys You may also be able to get work from town-to-town Bear in mind that the nomadic life has its own expenses For example, nomads who live

in a RV must continually fuel their home, find campsites and pay for insurance

3

A nomad experiences the ultimate in geographical freedom This is one of the most attractive benefits of nomadic living You can follow every inclination and desire you have Want to see the Grand Canyon? Plot a course Need to get your feet in the sand? Head for the coast Nomads can follow their fantasies and make them reality

4

According to a study by the Kellogg School of Management, those who have lived abroad or nomadic lifestyles were consistently more creative and able tothink outside the box Exposing yourself to new cultures can do wonders for your mental acuity by learning new ways of thought, traditions and morals

VIETNAMESE FARMERS

Vietnam is an agricultural country and about 67% of Vietnamese people live in the rural

areas Both men and women work on the fields Rural women in Vietnam typically do

hard outdoor physical labor, which keeps them physically fit and strong Everyday, they

wake up early to get started on their work, normally before the sun comes up The fields

are near their houses, so they often walk to the field The entire family helps out during

planting and harvest Each family member has certain tasks to do Men do heavy labor

like plowing and digging Women work around the house, and help with the harvest,

planning and weeding The elderly do light labor Children, if not going to school, will

help the house chores Girls clean, cook, and work in the vegetable garden; while boys

carry water, and help the men in the field In the countryside, almost every house has a

garden to grow vegetables, fruits for family demand or selling for more incomes Besides

growing vegetables, they also keep cattle, pigs and poultry The day ends up with a

family meal together It’s a great time for all family members to share their stories and

get closer to each other

VIETNAMESE COSTUME

The most recognisable traditional garment you’re likely to see in Vietnam today is the ao

dai, an item of national dress consisting of a long, tight-fitting, silk tunic worn over loose

trousers The design of the modern ao dai is a variation on more traditional forms of dress, and was perfected in the 1950s Though it was banned in the late 1970s, the ao

dai has since seen a resurgence and many women in Vietnam continue to wear it, often

as part of a uniform for schools, universities and public service roles

41

The male equivalent of the ao dai is called the ao gam, and is a brocade tunic ordinarily

worn only on special occasions, such as birthdays or festivals You are less likely to see

the ao gam than the ao dai in a day-to-day setting in Vietnam

More well-known even than the ao dai, the non la is a style of Vietnamese conical hat

that has become symbolic not just of Vietnam but of East Asia in general for many

Westerners The hat, which is usually made from bamboo or straw, appears in

Vietnamese art dating from 2,500-3,000 years ago, and is considered part of modern

Vietnamese national costume

From the early twentieth century onwards, most Vietnamese have worn Western-style

clothing in day-to-day life, while members of minority ethnic groups in the north of

country still commonly wear the traditional dress of their own particular locality

between his teeth After that, the body is put on the ground with the meaning that

“being born from the earth, one must return back to the earth.” Next, he is enveloped

with white cloth, and put in to the coffin Finally, the master of the funeral officially

performs the funeral ceremony During these days, all family members have to wear

coarse gauze turbans and tunics, and hats made of straw, or dry banana fiber

neighbors and friends come to offer their condolences The funeral procession is

conducted All relatives, friends, and family members join the procession to accompany

the dead to the burial ground After three days, there is a ritual of opening the grave

After 49 days, the family stops offering meals for the dead to the altar 100 days later,

Ví dụ:

LUNAR NEW YEAR

Lunar New Year Festival often falls between late January and early February; it is among the most important holidays in Vietnam Officially, the festival includes the 1st, 2nd and 3rd day of January in Lunar Calendar; however, Vietnamese people often spend about nearly a month to celebrate this special event

Since Tet occupies an important role in Vietnamese’s religious beliefs, Vietnamese will begin their preparations well in advance of the upcoming New Year In an effort to get rid of the bad luck of the old year, people will spend a few days cleaning their homes, polishing every utensil, or even repaint and decorate the house with kumquat tree, branches of peach blossom, and many other colorful flowers The ancestral altar is especially taken care of, with careful decoration of five kinds of fruits and votive papers, along with many religious rituals Everybody, especially children, buy new clothes and shoes to wear on the first days of New Year People also try to pay all their pending debts and resolve all the arguments among colleagues, friends or members of family Vietnamese believe that the color of red and yellow will bring good fortune, which may explain why these colors can be seen everywhere in Lunar New Year People consider what they do on the dawn of Tet will determine their fate for the whole year, hence people always smile and behave as nice as they can in the hope for a better year Besides, gifts are exchanged between family members and friends and relatives, while children receive lucky money kept in red envelope No matter where Tet is celebrated, it must be clarified from the beginning that Tet is not a day, but several days of celebration
