The tradition of gift giving is a worldwide practice that is said to have been around since the beginning
of human beings. Over time, different cultures have developed their own gift giving customs and traditions.
In France, the gift of wine for the hostess of a dinner party is not an appropriate gift as the hostess would
prefer to choose the vintage for the night. In Sweden, a bottle of wine or flowers are an appropriate gift for the
hostess. In Viet Nam, a gift of whisky is appropriate for the host, and some fruit or small gifts for the hostess,
children or elders of the home. Besides, gifts should never be wrapped in black paper because this color is
unlucky and associated with funerals in this country. Gifts that symbolize cutting such as scissors, knives and
other sharp objects should be avoided because they mean the cutting of the relationship. Also, in some countries
you should not open the gift in front of the giver and in others it would be an insult if you did not open the gift.
Beyond the gift itself, give careful consideration to the manner in which it is presented. Different
cultures have different customs regarding how a gift should be offered - using only your right hand or using
both hands, for example. Others have strong traditions related to the appropriate way to accept a gift. In
Singapore, for instance, it is the standard to graciously refuse a gift several times before finally accepting it.
The recipient would never unwrap a gift in front of the giver for fear of appearing greedy.
Understanding these traditions and customs, as well as taking time to choose an appropriate gift, will help
you to avoid any awkwardness or embarrassment as you seek to build a better cross-cultural relationship.
1. The gift of wine for the hostess of a dinner party is an appropriate gift in France.
2. Gifts should never be wrapped in black paper because this color is unlucky and associated with
funerals in this country.
3. Gifts that symbolize cutting such as scissors, knives and other sharp objects shouldn’t be avoided.

Today, more and more women are actively participating in social activities both in urban and rural
areas. Specifically, they have shined brightly in even many fields commonly regarded as the man's areas such
as business, scientific research and social management. In some areas, women even show more overwhelming
power than men. The image of contemporary Vietnamese women with creativeness, dynamism, success has
become popular in Vietnam's society. The fact reveals that the gender gap has been remarkably narrowed and
women enjoy many more opportunities to pursue their social careers and obtain success, contributing to
national socio-economic development. According to Ms, Le Thi Quy, Director of the Gender/and Development
Research Centre under the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi National University, gender
equity in Vietnam has reached a high level over the past decade. The rate of Vietnamese women becoming
National Assembly members from the 9th term to the 11th term increased 8.7%, bringing the proportion of
Vietnamese women in authority to 27.3%, the highest rate in Southeast Asia. There is no big gap in the level of
literacy and schooling between men and women. Women account for about 37% of university and college
graduates, 19.9% of doctoral degree holders and 6.7% of professors and associate professors.
The legitimate rights of women and children are ensured more than ever before with more complete
legal documents including laws, conventions and national action plans, among which the laws on "gender
equity" mark a turning-point in the empowerment of women.
Mass media also highlights the continued success of women in every field and honors their great
importance in modern society, helping to do away with outdated perceptions about traditional women's duties.
Many projects on reproductive health care, children protection, and family income improvement jointly
conducted by various mass organizations, state agencies and non-governmental organizations have created
favorable conditions for women to become involved.
1. The image of contemporary Vietnamese men with creativeness, dynamism, success has become popular
in Vietnam's society.
2. There are more women in authority in Vietnam than those in any other countries in Southeast Asia.
3. There is a big gap in the level of literacy and schooling between men and women.

For Catherine Lumby, deciding to take on the role of breadwinner in her relationship was not a difficult
choice. When she discovered she was pregnant with her first child, she had just been offered a demanding new
role as Director of the Media and Communications department at the University of Sydney. But she didn't see
this as an obstacle, and was prepared to use childcare when the children were old enough. It came, therefore, as
a surprise to Lumby and her husband Derek that, after the birth of their son, they couldn’t actually bear the
thought of putting him into childcare tor nine hours a day. As she was the one with the secure job, the role of
primary care-giver fell to Derek, who was writing scripts for television. This arrangement continued for the
next four years, with Derek working from home and caring for both of their sons. He returned to full-time work
earlier this year.
Whilst Lumby and her husband are by no means the only Australians making such a role reversal,
research suggests that they are in the minority. In a government-funded survey in 2001, only 5.5 percent of
couples in the 30-54 year age group saw the women working either part- or full-time while the men were
unemployed.
The situation is likely to change, according to the CEO of Relationships Australia, Anne Hollonds. She
suggests that this is due to several reasons, including the number of highly educated women in the workforce
and changing social patterns and expectations. However, she warns that for couples involved in role-switching,
there are many potential difficulties to be overcome. For men whose self-esteem is connected to their jobs and
the income it provides to the family, a major change of thinking is required. It also requires women to reassess,
particularly with regard to domestic or child-rearing decisions, and they may have to learn to deal with the guilt
of not always being there at key times for their children. Being aware of these issues can make operating in
non-traditional roles a lot easier.
1. They decided that Derek would look after their son because they worried about their son’s health problems.
2. Catherine and her husband decided that Catherine would be the primary earner because she was not good at
childcare.
3. The number of highly educated women in the workforce and changing social patterns and expectations are
some reasons for the role reversal.
