INTRODUCTION
1. Necessity of the topic
Behavioral culture is an aspect of culture, it reflects the
way of life of people and the level of civilization of a country, a
nation, the aspiration of people reaching out to the true – the
good – the beautiful values. Cultural behavior not only creates
beauty for each individual, but also reflects the cultural identity of a
community, country, and nation.
As a part of the society, youths of the Vietnamese
People's Army is the most crowded force, they directly perform
the function of fighting, production and work in the army. When
performing their tasks, they must deal with and solve many
complicated and specific relationships. Over 74 years of
construction and growth, youths of the Vietnamese People's
Army has contributed to creating a unique behavioral culture the behavioral culture of the "Uncle Ho's soldiers" with core
values and standards: "Loyal to the Party, fond of people, ready
to fight, sacrifice for independence, freedom of the Fatherland,

for socialism". Every task is completed, every difficulty is
overcome, every enemy is defeated”. These norms and values
play an orientation role, and are the driving force for the
generations of our young people to constantly strive, improve
and perfect the personality, successfully implement all assigned
tasks.


2
Currently, before the impact of the market economy,
international integration, especially the strong development of
mass media makes the behavioral culture of society in general
and youths of the Vietnamese People's Army in particular have
fluctuations in two directions in a positive and negative way. On
the one hand, the core values in the behavioral culture of young
people in the Vietnamese People's Army continue to be
promoted and supplemented with new contents and developed in
accordance with new conditions. Attitudes and behaviors of most
young people in the army are in accordance with orders, sociocultural norms, military culture, it arouses and promotes the
cultural traditions of the nation, army and units. On the other
hand, the impact of the reverse of the market economy, the
negative social phenomena, the resistance of hostile forces and
the limited level of awareness, some young people of the
Vietnamese People's Army had wong actions. They have the
attitude and behaviors that lack standards in communication and
living ... causing loss of solidarity, sense of responsibility in
training and working, even violating the laws of the State and
disciplines of the army ... These expressions have hindered the
development, perfection of the personality, deteriorating the
image of "Uncle Ho's soldiers", adversely affecting the quality of

building strong units and army.
That requires to strengthen to foster the behavioral
culture for for young people in the Vietnamese People's Army to


3
meet the requirements and tasks of building and defending the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam, building revolutionary, regular,
elite and modern army. The maturity of the behavioral culture
of young people in the Vietnamese People's Army undergone a
complex process, influenced by many factors, in which
education and fostering in grassroots units play a leading role.
In general, the fostering of behavioral culture for for young
people in the Vietnamese People's Army has been very
concerned by leaders and commanders of units over the years.
The content and measures of fostering are determined in
accordance with each subject. At the same time, each person
has brought into play the positive and self-awareness in
cultivation and training to create a development of behavioral
culture. However, the quality and efficiency of fostering
behavioral culture for young people in the military force in
comparison with requirements and tasks in the new situation
still face limitations and inadequacies in both awareness and
implementation.

Some

committees,

agencies,

political

commissars and commanders have not paid due attention, lack of

methods and forms of fostering behavioral culture for young

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 Truthfulness-HonestyBeauty. 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. ”


10
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.
Second, on the nature and level of expression,
behavioral culture is the aspect of culture - it is culture
expressed in communication by actual action.
From the above analysis, it can be conveived that:
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.


11
As an aspect of culture in general, behavioral culture is
full of cultural characteristics. The dominant feature, the core
characteristic of behavioral culture is the standard of attitudes
and behaviors of people in dealing with "responding" and
"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

12
people, issues and it directly expresses their behavior in
communication.
2.1.2. Behavioral culture for young people in the
Vietnamese People’s Army
As a typical object, "young pople" operating in a
specific field, "military activity field", need to format the
behavioral culture for young people in the Vietnamese People’s
Army with their own characteristics, allowing relative
segregation of behavioral culture of this object.
Accordingly, we can conceive: the behavioral culture
for young people in the Vietnamese People’s Army is an aspect
of behavioral culture, reflecting the specificity of the system of
standard values as well as the attitude and behavior of young
people in the military, in accordance with the requirements of
military operations in different historical periods.
The above notion shows that the behavioral culture of
young people in the Vietnam People's Army has a common
point, unified with the behavioral culture of Vietnamese young
people, and its specific characteristics of the requirements of
the field and the operating environment. That peculiarity is
expressed in the following basic characteristics:
The first characteristic, the standard value system of
the behavioral culture of young people in the Vietnam People's
Army is the Vietnamese military culture system, which is at the
core of the culture of "Uncle Ho's soldiers".

13
The second characteristic, the way of expressing the
behavioral culture of young people in the Vietnam People’s
Army

is

self-discipline

and

strictness

according

to

predetermined rules.
The third characteristic, the behavioral culture of
young people in Vietnamese People’s Army has a high demand
for attitude and communication.
2.1.3. Expression of behavioral culture for young
people in the Vietnamese People’s Army
The behavioral culture of young people in the Vietnam
People's Army is expressed in the knowledge, attitudes and
behaviors of military personnel in practical activities.
The knowledge of behavioral culture of young people in
the Vietnam People's Army is their basic understanding of
Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh’s thought, morality and style;
the Party's views, lines and undertakings; policies and laws of

the state; The Vietnam People's Army’s glorious, heroic
tradition
The behavioral attitudes of young people in the
Vietnamese People's Army is their willingness in terms of
thoughts, feelings, beliefs, their choices to react to situations in
their tasks, lives and behaviors to successfully solve those
situations.
The behaviors of behavioral behavior of young people
in the Vietnamese People’s Army is a high level of self-


14
discipline in implementing a code of conduct in military
activities. It is expressed in their response, their behavior
according to the political objectives, cultural norms of state
law, military discipline, voluntarily, unanimously, without
criticism
Behavioral culture for young people in the Vietnamese
People’s Army is expressed in their practical activities, in
speech and behavioral attitude.
2.2. The nature of fostering behavioral culture for
young people in the Vietnamese People’s Army
2.2.1 Concept of fostering behavioral culture for
young people in the Vietnamese People’s Army
Young people in the Vietnamese People's Army is
conceived as young people in the army, aged from 18 to 30.
They are officers and professional soldiers of the age of the
Youth Union and the entire non-commissioned officers. Young
people in the Army is the core force, the majority force of the
Vietnam People's Army. They are the ones who directly

perform military tasks in the grassroots units, according to the
function of "Combat armies, working troops and production
labor army". In units with enough troops, they accounted for
more than 80% of the army; at company level, most officers
and soldiers are at the young age; 21.45% of officers, 32.49%
of party members, 30% of workers and civil servants, defense
labors are in young ages.


15
As young people in the army, the experience is not
much, so they are often not really mature and stable; lack of
patience; often easily subjective to victory, pessimistic,
depressed when encountering difficulties, temporary failures;
the ability to discriminate right - wrong, good - bad... is limited,
the ability of self-control is poor, often rigid, inflexible in
handling complex situations. Since then, it can be affirmed that
the behavioral culture for young people in the Vietnamese
People’s Army has been formed and developing, and must
continue to be fostered for improvement.
Fostering is a social activity aimed at improving,
supplementing, compensating for weaknesses and shortcomings
to meet their needs. Therefore, it can be understood that
fostering is a process of conscious impact in order to increase
certain aspects of people to meet their requirements and tasks.
In real life, fostering activities are very diverse. Fostering
behavioral culture for young people in the Vietnamese People’s
Army is a side of general training.
Thus, it can be conceived: Fostering the behavioral
culture for young people in the Vietnamese People’s Army is

the whole of conscious and purposeful impacts of the subject in
a voluntary way to supplement, consolidate and improve
knowledge, attitude and behavior level of young people in the
Vietnamese People’s Army in order to meet the objectives of


16
requirement of military activities in each certain historical
period.
The purpose of fostering the behavioral culture for
young people in the Vietnamese People’s Army is the overall
self-consious impact according to the development rules of the
subject's culture in order to supplement the missing ones;
reinforce the unstable, immature and imperfect elements of
cultural knowledge, attitudes and behaviors to meet the
requirements of military activities.
In essence, fostering the behavioral culture for young
people in the Vietnamese People’s Army is the process of
transforming the standard of cultural behavioral culture of
society and the military field into cultural knowledge, attitudes
and behavior of young people in the revolutionary, regular
army youth. In fact, activities of fostering behavioral culture of
young people in the Vietnamese People’s Army are a process
of positive, voluntary, dynamic and creative impacts of
subjects. With many ways of organizing different impacts,
closely linked with each other, based on the correct awareness
of the general rules and specific characteristics of the
formation, behavioral culture for young people in the
Vietnamese People’s Army is developed.

Based on the research results in both theory and

Regarding the content, forms and measures of fostering

cultivating and practicing behavioral culture. Most of them
have good personality, worthy of "Uncle Ho's soldiers".

Limitations
In addition to the efforts and achievements, the behavioral

behavioral culture for young people in the Vietnamese People’s
Army.
The content, forms and methods of fostering the

young people in the Vietnamese People’s Army also exhibited
standard deviations in behavioral culture. They are lacking of
responsibility at work, resigning duty; not dealing with
comrades in proper manner; having not yet raised the spirit of
