Establishing relationships

Day 2

Reflection: Building Bonds.

This afternoon, we visited the University of Social Science and Humanities, Faculty of Oriental Studies.

We were touched by the effect the students have put in to welcome us.

They have put up a slide show to show the good relationship that Vietnam and Singapore have developed over the years.

Many students had taken the effort to be with us on this sunny Saturday afternoon.

The MC, Ms Hau Can did a great job in getting the road show started.

Later on, the students from the university asked us several questions. They were interested to know about the education system in Singapore and the language that is used in school in Sinagpore.


Three students performed a dance and two songs which we enjoyed very much.

The students made an image of the Merlion.

Mdm Santhi and Mrs Audrey Koh found it impressive that the students had done so much research about Singapore.

Reflection : Cu Chi Turnnel

Here are some notes about Cu Chi tunnels from wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cu_Chi_tunnels

The tunnels of Cu Chi are an immense network of connecting underground tunnels located in the Cu Chi district of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and are part of a much larger network of tunnels that underlie much of the country.

The Cu Chi tunnels were the location of several military campaigns during the Vietnam War, and were the National Front for the Liberation (NLF)of South Vietnam's base of operations for the Tet Offensive in 1968.

(Here, one of the student is trying out the entrance to the tunnel.)

The tunnels were used by NLF guerrillas as hiding spots during combat, as well as serving as communication and supply routes, hospitals, food and weapon caches and living quarters for numerous guerrilla fighters.

The role of the tunnel systems should not be underestimated in its importance to the NLF in resisting American operations and protracting the war, eventually persuading the weary Americans into withdrawal.

American soldiers used the term "Black echo" to describe the conditions within the tunnels. For the NLF, life in the tunnels was difficult. Air, food and water were scarce and the tunnels were infested with ants, poisonous centipedes, spiders and mosquitoes. Most of the time, guerrillas would spend the day in the tunnels working or resting and come out only at night to scavenge supplies, tend their crops or engage the enemy in battle. Sometimes, during periods of heavy bombing or American troop movement, they would be forced to remain underground for many days at a time.

Sickness was rampant among the people living in the tunnels; especially malaria, which accounted for the second largest cause of death next to battle wounds. A captured NLF report suggests that at any given time half of a PLAF unit had malaria and that “one-hundred percent had intestinal parasites of significance.”



In spite of these hardships, the NLF managed to wage successful campaigns against a conscripted army that was technologically far superior.

In the morning, we also visited a printing factory called VinSing, set up in 1992 by a Singaporean Mr. Wu.

He travels to Vietnam and stays for 3 weeks and then flies home to Singapore to rest and recreat for one week before flying back to Vietnam again.

The students managed to see the working conditions of the factory and were surprised to discovered that an unskilled worker was paid about Singapore one hundred dollars and a skilled worker about one hundred and thirty only.

We have arrived

Day 1.

Reflection on the History of Vietnam.

Today is the first day of our field expedition to Vietnam, HCM city.



Students loading the gift of love which they had prepared for this trip. They had collected clothes, toys and story books for the children in Vietnam





We arrived safely in HCM at 1.45 p.m. local time.

After checking out of the airport, we visited the Reunification Palace.


Here are some interesting information of the palace from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Reunification Palace (Vietnamese: Dinh Thong Nhat) formerly known as Independence Palace (Dinh Đoc Lap) built on the site of the former Norodom Palace, is a historic landmark in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.


It was designed by architect Ngo Viet Thu as the home and workplace of the President of South Vietnam during the Vietnam War and the site of the official handover of power during the Fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975.







(This is the President of South Vietnam's office.)
It was then known as Independence Palace, and an NVA tank crashed through its gates, as recorded by Neil Davis.


For additional information refere to this external website http://www.dinhdoclap.gov.vn/

A brief history on the fall of Vietnam.

NVA Tank crashing through the gates of the South Vietnam's Presidential Palace

( Information from ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_Saigon)

The Fall of Saigon was the capture of Saigon, the capital of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) by the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN), the armed forces of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam), on 30 April 1975. The event marked the end of the Vietnam War and the start of a transition period leading to the formal reunification of Vietnam under Communist rule.

PAVN forces under the command of the Senior General Van Tien Dung began their final attack on Saigon, which was commanded by General Nguyen Van Toan on 29 April, with a heavy artillery bombardment.

(Bed room of NguyenVan Toan at the basement of the palace.)

(Map room where the South Vietnam Army planned the defence of South Vietnam.)

By the afternoon of the 30th, North Vietnamese troops had occupied the important points within the city and raised their flag over the Independence Palace. South Vietnam capitulated shortly after.

The city was renamed Ho Chi Minh City.

(This is a bust of Ho Chi Ming City)



The fall of the city was preceded by the evacuation of almost all the American civilian and military personnel in Saigon, along with tens of thousands of South Vietnamese civilians. The evacuation culminated in Operation Frequent Wind, which was the largest helicopter evacuation in history.[2] In addition to the flight of refugees, the end of the war, and institution of new rules by the Communists contributed to a decline in the population of the city.

South Vietnamese civilians scramble to board the last US helicopter leaving the country at the end of the Vietnam War.

Later we visited the Post Office.
The Post Office recalls European railway stations, particularly in the vaulted and glazed interior. Its "modern" skylight also recalls European buildings of the later nineteenth century (like Paris' Les Halles or Milan's Galleria).




The late 19th century cathedral has a neo-Romanesque facade with twin towers. A statue of the Virgin is located in the center front. (See below.)

MOVING BEYOND THE GLOBALISATION PARADIGM

Enter the Cognitive Age

By David Brooks


(This article is a bit tought and so I will add comments as your read along. Try, there will be light at teh end of the tunnel. mamafess)

IF YOU go into a good library, you will find thousands of books on globalisation. Some will laud it. Some will warn about its dangers. But they will agree that globalisation is the chief process driving our age. Our lives are being transformed by the increasing movement of goods, people and capital across borders.

The globalisation paradigm has led, in the political arena, to a certain historical narrative: There were once nation-states like the US and the European powers, whose economies could be secured within borders. But now capital flows freely. Technology has levelled the playing field. Competition is global and fierce.
(Mamafess :This means that the world is our oyster now and that some company liek Macdonal has a larger GDP then many countries.)

New dynamos like India and China threaten American dominance, thanks to their cheap labour and manipulated currencies. Now, everything is made abroad. American manufacturing is in decline. The rest of the economy is threatened.

Mrs Hillary Clinton summarised the narrative a few weeks ago: 'They came for the steel companies and nobody said anything. They came for the auto companies and nobody said anything. They came for the office companies, people who did white-collar service jobs, and no one said anything. And they came for the professional jobs that could be outsourced, and nobody said anything.'(Mamafess: This is knwon as teh slipply slope. GO on check what it is.)

The globalisation paradigm has turned out to be very convenient for politicians. It allows them to blame foreigners for economic woes. It allows them to pretend that by rewriting trade deals, they can assuage economic anxiety. It allows them to treat economic and social change as a great mercantilist competition, with various teams competing for global supremacy, and with politicians starring as the commanding generals. (Mamafess: In other words, globalisation is now a scapegoat)

But there's a problem with the way the globalisation paradigm has evolved. It doesn't really explain most of what is happening in the world.

Globalisation is real and important. It's just not the central force driving economic change. Some Americans have seen their jobs shipped overseas, but global competition has accounted for a small share of job creation and destruction over the past few decades.

Capital does indeed flow around the world. But as Professor Pankaj Ghemawat of the Harvard Business School has observed, 90 per cent of fixed investment around the world is domestic. Companies open plants overseas, but that is mainly so their production facilities can be close to local markets.

Nor is the globalisation paradigm even accurate when applied to manufacturing. Instead of fleeing to Asia, US manufacturing output is up over recent decades. As Mr Thomas Duesterberg of Manufacturers Alliance/MAPI, a research firm, has pointed out, the US' share of global manufacturing output has actually increased slightly since 1980.

The chief force reshaping manufacturing is technological change (hastened by competition with other companies in Canada, Germany or down the street).

Thanks to innovation, manufacturing productivity has doubled over two decades. Employers now require fewer but more highly skilled workers.

Technological change affects China just as it does the America. Mr William Overholt of the RAND Corporation has noted that between 1994 and 2004 the Chinese shed 25 million manufacturing jobs, 10 times more than the US.

The central process driving this is not globalisation.

It's the skills revolution.

We're moving into a more demanding cognitive age.

In order to thrive, people are compelled to become better at absorbing, processing and combining information. This is happening in localised and globalised sectors, and it would be happening even if you tore up every free trade deal ever inked.

The globalisation paradigm emphasises the fact that information can now travel 24,000km in an instant.

But the most important part of information's journey is the last few centimetres - the space between a person's eyes or ears and the various regions of the brain.

Does the individual have the capacity to understand the information?

Does he or she have the training to exploit it?

Are there cultural assumptions that distort the way it is perceived?
(Mamafess: Do you remember I asked in class what is the difference between data, information, knowledge and wisdom?)

The globalisation paradigm leads people to see economic development as a form of foreign policy, as a grand competition between nations and civilisations. These abstractions, called 'the Chinese' or 'the Indians', are doing this or that.

But the cognitive age paradigm emphasises psychology, culture and pedagogy - the specific processes that foster learning. It emphasises that different societies are being stressed in similar ways by increased demands on human capital.

If you understand that you are living at the beginning of a cognitive age, you're focusing on the real source of prosperity and understand that your anxiety is not being caused by a foreigner.
(Mamafess : This means that anyone who can get information, the relevent information when required will be able to survive. It is no longer remember facts but knowing where to get the facts)

It is not that globalisation and the skills revolution are contradictory processes. But which paradigm you embrace determines which facts and remedies you emphasise.

Politicians, especially Democratic ones, have fallen in love with the globalisation paradigm. It's time to move beyond it.

Reflection questions

Are you ready for the Cognative Age?

Are we as teachers preparing you for this age?

Learn from the Past, Prepare for the future

On June 8, 1972, children and their families fled the village of Trang Bang down Route-1, their bodies seared by napalm.

The young girl screaming, in particular, was etched onto the world's mind by the photograph of Huynh Cong 'Nick' Ut, an AP photographer.

The girl was Phan Thi Kim Phuc.

The picture was taken near the village of Trang Bang in South Vietnam on June 8, 1972, thrust the burned, screaming youngster into photographic history. The London "Observer" Sunday paper calls the photograph "the most haunting image of the horror of war since Goya" in their review of the exhibit (by science writer Deyan Sudjic).

What do you think happened to her now?
Visit this site to find out.

Here is another iconic picture taken in 1963. A buddhist monk set himself on fire. Why do you think he did that? Can you use the web to find the answer?

American photographer Eddie Adams, also shot one of the Vietnam War's iconic images.

His picture of a South Vietnamese colonel executing a communist North Vietnamese Vietcong prisoner in Saigon earned him a Pulitzer Prize in 1969.

His picture shows the exact moment when the bullet enters the prisoner's head. It was taken on 1 February 1968, the second day of the communists' Tet Offensive in Saigon's Chinese quarter.

Reflection Question.

1. Is there any value in studying History?

2. What happens when the collective memory of a society is wipe out, modified by the internet or controlled by the media?

Get Wowed by Vietnam !
