02438348033 Method of communication to ethnic minority regions in Vietnam today
Vietnam is a multi-ethnic country with Kinh (Viet) as the majority group and 53 ethnic minority groups, who are living across the country, mostly in mountainous, remote, rural and border regions with rough topography and difficult transportation. The backward social and economic condition, language barrier, psychological reservedness and low literacy have made communication in ethnic minority regions difficult. Therefore, it is important to employ different methods of communication to people of ethnic minorities be it direct or indirect in order to help them access and understand the directions, policies of the Party and State, accelerate their production and consolidate the national solidarity.

An investigation into how Vietnamese university students in Hanoi experience cyberbullying on social media
Abstract: This dissertation presents a mixed-methods investigation into the nature, consequences, and coping strategies related to cyberbullying among Vietnamese university students in Hanoi. Addressing a significant gap in research, this study adopted a sequential explanatory design, utilizing a quantitative survey (N=226) to assess prevalence and trends, followed by in-depth qualitative interviews (N=8) to provide nuanced contextual understanding. The research was theoretically grounded in the Social-Ecological Model and General Strain Theory. The findings establish cyberbullying as a pervasive phenomenon, with the most common forms being verbal harassment (57.2%) and reputational harm (51.8%). Lived experiences were critically shaped by the digital context, with anonymity, public visibility, and power imbalances (rooted in social influence) significantly amplifying victims’ distress. The study reveals that the perceived consequences are severe and holistic, extending beyond psychological impacts (chronic anxiety, insomnia) to significant academic disruption (decline in performance, withdrawal from studies) and social isolation. In response, students primarily relied on informal social support and avoidance strategies. A key finding, however, is the perceived ineffectiveness of these coping mechanisms, which provided emotional relief but failed to secure tangible solutions or accountability. This highlights a critical deficit in formal institutional support. In conclusion, this research provides empirical evidence that cyberbullying acts as a serious systemic stressor in the Vietnamese higher education context. The findings underscore an urgent need for universities and policymakers to implement formal accountability measures, alongside culturally sensitive support and prevention programs, to safeguard the well-being and academic success of students.
