Vietnam is considered a fairly collectivist culture. Because of their Confucian roots, their culture is strongly orientated around family and community. Family comes before oneself. Therefore, they value the collective whole rather than the individual. To bring pride to ones family is the ultimate goal.
Vietnam is classified as a Low Uncertainty Avoidance culture. Although they have had decades of invasions to their country they choose not to dwell on this, or live in fear. They are welcoming to outsiders and are less tense and more relaxed. Furthermore, Vietnam is confident in their country and comfortable with the uncertainty that tomorrow brings.
