Domestic news Sunday, 14:40 25-04-2021

In recent years, Vietnam emerged as the consumers of wild animals and the destination in the transnational network of wild animal trafficking. Vietnam has made an important contribution in transferring, saving and protecting rare wild animals and in keeping the biological diversity and the genes of rare wild animals. This long and tough journey requires the active participation of media organizations in promoting the policy and regulations about the protection of wild animals and the in preventing the illegal trafficking of wild animals by providing timely information about the problem, identifying the causes and proposing the solutions.

A look at the History and Application of Critical Theory

Abstract: Researchers who supported the idea of critical theory based their argument on the assumption that there is always a need for criticism in order to promote changes in society. The ultimate goal of critical theory, rather than predicting, explaining, or understanding social phenomenon, is to point out problems and pushing the decision of transformation. Critical theory assumed that the phenomenon is already existed and the inequality can only be addressed by reorganizing the society. This theory is inherently influenced by Marxism and the analytical ideas of Karl Marx. Although the researching process still involves the action of observing, analyzing, but the core idea of critical theory, as its name suggested, is to pursue changes through criticizing. There are six key concepts of this theory: text, meaning, culture, polysemy, hegemony, and ideology. It is because of its diversity that critical theory has very high applicability in the field of social studies and communication. This article aims to present an overview of the development history of critical theory and one of its outstanding applications – reader response theory.

Communist Review - Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the viewpoint of implementing "a dual task": ensuring safety for people's lives and health as well as maintaining production and business and ensuring social security, minimizing damage; a number of solutions to prevent and control the pandemic and remove difficulties in production and business have been implemented drastically and synchronously by both the political system and the Vietnamese people. The results achieved in the first 6 months of 2020 are clear and positive; however, in the context of extremely complicated disease development, people and businesses still face many difficulties; obviously, we still have a lot to do. As the head of the Government, I would like to share and hope that we together are determined to take advantage of the opportunities, overcome difficulties and challenges to achieve the best results this year and years to come.
