I. Outline Debating the Cleverness or Pettiness of Vietnamese Lifestyle
1. Introduction
- Introducing the issue for debate.
2. Main Body:
a. Ingenious:
- Ingeniousness represents wise, clever behavior that is adaptable, creative, and capable of handling difficult situations.
- Examples:
+ Stories like Trang Cân's weighing the elephant with a thin sheet of paper, Trang Hiền solving the tricky riddles of the Yuan dynasty envoy: 'A thread pierces the shell of a snail, ...'
+ Ho Chi Minh cited directly from the Declarations of France and the United States in our Declaration of Independence to affirm the contemporary truth about independence and freedom.
- In everyday life, in all relationships, cleverness and flexibility in communication are also highly appreciated. In a fiercely competitive environment where many talented individuals exist, those who can solve problems and communicate effectively are often preferred.
=> Ingeniousness is a commendable lifestyle that each of us needs to understand and apply in life, contributing to personal development, job excellence, and other relationships.
b. Petty:
- Pettiness refers to selfishness, a preference for personal gain, narrow-mindedness, lack of understanding, and concern only for one's own interests without considering the interests of the group.
- This is clearly manifested in some proverbs such as 'Eat the feast first, wade through water afterward,' 'The husband grabs the leg of meat, the wife grabs the bottle of wine,' 'Eat while you can, sleep with urgency.'
- In modern society, where life is full of hustle and bustle and competition, the petty lifestyle, opportunistic, and pragmatic, becomes increasingly common.
- Manifestation:
+ Ridiculing others' sudden misfortunes.
+ For a few bucks, being willing to smuggle Chinese immigrants has shattered the country's 99-day COVID-19 prevention efforts!
