    As a Vietnamese, my cultural background has shaped my values, behavior, and

    perspectives. I was taught a lot about the importance of family and community since I
    was born. My culture encourages humility, respect, and unity. Therefore, these values
    appear in every aspect of my life.

    Tet, the Vietnamese Lunar New Year is an outstanding experience for me. Once the
    family has gathered around, we will honor our ancestors and celebrate the new year. The
    rituals such as preparing a big meal for the whole family and giving lucky money have
    always made me feel deeply connected to my culture. These traditions remind me of the
    collective identity I share with my family and the Vietnamese community.

    My research into cultural traditions and representation in media helped me understand


    how culture both shapes and is shaped by identity. I found that cultural celebrations like
    Tet and the rituals surrounding them are essential for reinforcing identity. Similarly, I
    discovered that media representation plays a critical role in shaping how individuals from
    marginalized groups view themselves and are viewed by others.

    There are differing viewpoints on culture and identity. Some view cultural diversity as
    an advantage, creating opportunities for individuals to learn from and appreciate other
    cultures. However, others see it as a challenge, as it can lead to cultural clash or the
    erosion of traditional values. I have been struggling to choose between the values of my
    Vietnamese background and the expectations of the wider society around me. This
    tension has sometimes created confusion but has also allowed me to grow, as I learn to
    blend the best of both worlds.

    Globalization is a challenge and an opportunity for cultural identity. While the world is
    getting closer to each other, it also imposes the risk of losing some of the unique cultural
    traditions. Globalization presents an opportunity where cultural practices can be
    presented and preserved. What is important is that people practice their cultural identities
    through maintaining their native language, continuing with family traditions, staying in
    contact with their community members.
    This research has deepened my understanding of how culture and identity
    intertwined. My Vietnamese heritage influences my values, actions, and views, while the
    world that keeps on changing around me is both a challenge and enrichment.
    Understanding culture and identity in today's diverse and global society creates empathy
    and respect throughout the globe.
