important and meaningful work for the Vietnamese revolution in the period of accelerating the national industrialization, modernization and integration getting deeper and deeper Patriotism runs like a red thread throughout history, is a noble spiritual product, holding the highest standard for morality and leading the ladder of cultural and spiritual values of the Vietnamese nation Patriotism acts as a great endogenous motivation of the Vietnamese ethnic community, creating the unrivaled power in the resistance wars against foreign aggression and in the cause of building the country Young

the State to young people and youth education Over the past years, the Party and the State have paid special attention to young people and youth work The interest of the Party and the State is of leadership and management subjects to young people and youth work This factor is a favorable condition for the application of Ho Chi Minh’s Thought in the education of patriotism for young people, facilitating maximum for young people to learn, work, dedicate and become a national construction and defense force and worthy successors to the revolutionary cause of our Party and people 2.1.2 Characteristics and situation of Vietnamese youth today - Young people are the age that reaches the most fullness of life They are rich in energy, dreams and ambitions Nevertheless, due to uneven psychological development rules, different living conditions and education, not every young people 15 develop themselves at an optimal level At this stage, the dominance of the worldview and outlook on life for youth activities is clearly expressed These young people who have perception in the right way on the development of the natural world, society and human beings will make appropriate plans for life, have clear aims and become useful people for themselves, family and society - Qualification is much higher than before, but weak in self-study methods - Employment for young people is better improved, young labor structure is more suitable for the economic structure However, minimizing unemployment in young people in urban areas, increasing the yearly working time of the rural youth, restructuring the industry, labor structure, etc are still urgent issues that should be addressed - Physical and mental health is better cared for, however, due to the psychological pressure on young people, the proportion of those who are suffering from mental problems such as stress, depresson, autism and neuropathy tends to rise - For political awareness, social positivity and lifestyle Political awareness, social positivity and lifestyle of young people have positive changes Nevertheless, a part of young people will not resist the temptation of money, affected by pragmatic lifestyles, less interested in political and social issues, prone to mistakes moral, negative and social evils, being abused, inciting, and engaging in disruptive and illegal acts 2.1.3 Impact of the innovation in the country With the achievements of the innovation in the country, young people are living in a more favorable economic, cultural and social environment and having many opportunities

information technology has profoundly impacted all areas of social life, increasing the amount of information many times, exponentially increasing the demand for information by the young generation, by each social organization However, using information technology to promote its true effect in a positive way is still limited, especially today young people are being bogged down in it and lost themselves Some of them use information technology too much time, it seems that it takes up all the time to rest and study If the use is not healthy, it will bring consequences, directly affecting their work and health 2.16 Negative effects from the declince of socialism and peaceful evolution strategy of the enemy forces It can be affirmed that the decline of socialism in the world and the

country have been promoting the industrialization, modernization and international integration more and more deeply Secondly, it is the great contribution of cadres who directly work on the education of patriotism for young people on the basis of applying Ho Chi Minh’s Thought Thirdly, the development of the program of patriotism education for young people on the basis of applying Ho Chi Minh’s Thought has been carried out in a streamlined and reduced way; The majority of educational content is suitable for the physiological mind of young people and practical demand of the country; Methods and forms of education are innovated, diversified and rich Fourthly, the achievements of the country have positively and strongly impacted the thinking and awareness of each youth for 30 years of

of educational methods given by Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union are not really close, attracting young people to participate in - A part of young people are not self-educating, self-training in patriotism - The movements of emulation, commendation, example have been formalism, not rewarding and honoring the right people, taking examples not really examplary in morality, lifestyle, etc 2.2.2.2 The causes of such limitations Mechanisms and policies for cadres in direct charge of the education of patriotism for young people have showed several inadequacies in some places; Conditions for the requirements of patriotism education have not been met in a timely way, not suitable for the rapid development of the country Updating, innovating the content and method of patriotism education for young people for a long time has not kept pace with the development of the contry and the actual needs of the youth force The practice of resolutions, policies and laws on youth has not been synchronized in both space and time, especially of which the grass-roots level is still slow Many families have not properly perceived their role and position in educating patriotism to their children Schools have followed their achievements, attaching importance to “teaching literacy” rather than “teaching people”, disregarding the 19 disciplines of social sciences and humanities, especially science of Marxism and Leninism even in the thinking of those who manage education A part of the youth for political, social, historical and cultural isses have been limited in awareness level, superficial living capity and understanding of many areas of life, not paying attenton to learning and improving knowledge 2.3 THE QUESTIONS POSED FOR THE APPLICATION OF HO CHI MINH’S THOUGHT

conditions for education are backward and poor; the quality and capacity of some teachers, lecturers, reporters, propagandists, politicians, Union officials, and those who directly work on the education of patriotism for the younger generation are limited These shortcomings resulting in the education of patriotism for young people have not yet achieved as our expectations and desires Therefore, studying, properly appreciating the actual situation, pointing out the causes, recognizing the questions posed by the reality and seeking solutions to promote achievements and overcome limitations are really urgent requirements in this work The above application of Ho Chi Minh’s Thought in the patriotism education for young people is both a science and an art, is a difficult, complicated and longterm task, especially in the current situation that should have the same strength and responsibility of the whole political system Therefore, it is necessary to adhere to appropriate views and solutions to fully impact all stages and processes to enhance this work The desire of the Party, the State and all of our people is to build a strong, democratic and civilized Vietnam in the coming time whether or not it will become a reality depending largely on what we prepare for the young generation today, including the application of Ho Chi Minh's Thought on educating

work of educating patriotism to Vietnamese youth plays a significant role, is a current urgent requirement to create a class of young people who are "both talented and virtuous", having a strong political spirit, keeping faithful to the goal of national independence and socialism, having the will to rise up to establish themselves and establish a 23 career, having desires to enrich themselves legally, to win poorly, backward, voluntarily, emulating to participate in the socio-economic development, actively contributing to the cause of building and protecting the Socialist Vietnamese Fatherland Innovating and improving the quality of patriotism education for young people following the direction of promoting the application of Ho Chi Minh’s Thought would contribute to improving the
