    For the design of this project, I looked at other Vietnam videos for ideas. I spent my time looking at previous works of Westlake High School students from previous years. Through that I got inspiration and started getting ideas for creating the design of my memorial project. Creating this memorial for me was pretty exciting I was really looking forward to making a video on memorializing the soldiers who died in the Vietnam War. I found it to be really interesting that I got to create a video on a solider. I liked how I got to put what I found and researched into the video. At first I thought creating the video is going to be really hard because I didn't have enough information but then I got a idea on putting events that happened throughout…

    As I left the Indianapolis airport at almost midnight, I knew that I was in an unfamiliar place, however, I couldn't see it either. Compared to the sparkling night cities in California where I grew up in and left behind, here it was almost completely dark, with only the dim highway lights to aid our vision. I grew up in the city where a large Vietnamese population resides for up to 12 years called Little Saigon. Always in a comfortable place, the culture outside of my home resembles the inside as well—unlike Noblesville, Indiana. I was paranoid about how large the difference would be. The food, the places, the…

    I understand there to be copious amounts of influential events which triggered trends in Vietnamese culture. The Chinese influence in Vietnam may have likely led to its communist political system. Vietnamese nationalism may have contributed to the difficulties the French faced during its colonization of Vietnam. However, I believe that the most relevant contribution to contemporary Vietnamese culture is the religious diversity and how it contributes to Vietnam's closed-door economic and political philosophies.…
