Trang 11Chapter 2 SOME THEORETICAL ISSUES ABOUT FOSTERING BEHAVIORAL CULTURE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN
THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE’S ARMY
2.1 Behavioral culture for young people in the Vietnamese People’s Army
2.1.1 Concept of behavioral culture
As presented in the overview, like culture in general, the concept of behavioral culture has a multitude of different approaches and definitions However, until now, when discussing behavioral culture, researchers agree on the following basic aspects
First, in essence, behavioral culture is a unique feature
of humanity, reflecting and expressing the nature and level of
people in the historical-natural process of humanity In terms of behavioral culture, it is a combination of culture and behavior
Culture means beauty, value, culture that expresses the
aspirations to live of human towards Beauty Therefore, culture with its true meaning is a conscious mode of human activity, a system of material and spiritual values created by human, in which "the system of viewpoints, ideologies, arguments, politics, laws, ethics, aesthetics, religion and philosophy plays a coherent role, orienting the cultural circles ”
Trang 12Truthfulness-Honesty-Behavior, in a broad sense, is the reaction of people to
the impact of externalities (nature, society and surrounding people) Behavior is a reaction that selects and calculates on the basis of knowledge, experience, living experience and personality of each person in order to achieve the highest
results in communication Thus, behavior is the living attitude
That attitude was formed and developed in the intentional receptive process - observation, receipt and brood
Behavioral culture is the reaction of a subject to the impact of another subject or an object in a certain way, in order
to achieve the best result In which, "culture" and "behavior" are closely intertwined Culture is the foundation and, at the same time being expressed through behavior, and behavior is a requirement and, at the same time, a mode of existence of culture

Behavioral culture is an aspect of culture, reflecting and expressing the standard level and nature in people's attitudes and behaviors (human community) within the impacts
of nature and society in specified historical stages and circumstances

"treating" relations to the impact of nature and society Behavioral culture includes "culture", "behavior" and the indispensable, intrinsic relationships between them
The first element that constitutes behavioral culture is the behavioral knowledge of human according to a system of
cultural values In terms of social aspects, it is gathering, synthesis and integration of the beauty of human’s attitude, behavior treating people and issues in social relationship
The second element that constitutes behavioral culture
is the behavioral attitude of human with (following) culture
Attitude is both a constituent element and a basic attribute of behavioral culture In essence, the behavioral attitude with cultural is a mental and psychological state reflecting and expressing the positiveness in awareness, emotion, feeling of people and the community of people towards partners during communication
The third element that constitutes the behavioral culture
is the behavior of people and communities according to a
certain cultural value system In essence, the behavior with (following) culture is a chain of human actions in treating
