The line graph shows the urban and rural population in Vietnam from 1960 to 2020. Overall, the urban population increased while the rural population decreased.

In 1960, most Vietnamese people lived in rural areas. However, from 1960 to 1980, the percentage of the rural population fell slightly to 81 per cent. Then the figure remained stable for the next ten years. From 1990 to 2000, the proportion of the population living in rural areas continued to decrease gradually. In 2020, the rural population was only 63 per cent of the total population of Vietnam.

By contrast, the urban population rose throughout the same period. In 1960, the percentage of the city population was just around 15 per cent. The figure went up slightly in 1980 and remained stable until 1990 when less than 20 per cent of the population lived in urban areas. Since 1990, the proportion of the urban population has increased gradually and in 2020, it reached 37 per cent of the total population.

Problem-Solving Report: Reducing Single-Use Plastic Waste
Problem Statement: The excessive use and disposal of single-use plastic products contribute significantly to environmental pollution and long-term degradation of ecosystems.
Proposed Solution: Implement a comprehensive strategy to reduce single-use plastic consumption. This includes:
 * Policy and Legislation: Enact and enforce stricter regulations on the production and distribution of single-use plastics. Impose bans or levies on items like plastic bags, straws, and cutlery.
 * Consumer Education and Awareness: Conduct widespread campaigns to educate the public about the harmful impacts of single-use plastics and promote sustainable alternatives.
 * Infrastructure Development: Invest in robust recycling and waste management systems to effectively collect and process plastic waste.
 * Innovation and Industry Collaboration: Encourage innovation in sustainable packaging materials and promote industry partnerships to develop eco-friendly alternatives.
Expected Outcomes:
 * Reduced plastic waste in landfills and oceans
 * Improved environmental quality
 * Conservation of natural resources
 * Positive impact on public health and well-being
By implementing these measures, we can significantly reduce the environmental burden of single-use plastics and move towards a more sustainable future.

The increasing adoption of Western festivals like Christmas and Halloween by Vietnamese youth sparks a debate about cultural influence.  While some worry about the erosion of traditional Vietnamese celebrations, I believe this trend is largely positive.  Celebrating diverse festivals enriches cultural understanding and provides opportunities for fun and community bonding.  These events aren't inherently destructive; they simply offer alternative forms of expression and celebration.

Concerns about cultural dilution are valid, but embracing new traditions doesn't necessitate abandoning existing ones.  The vibrant tapestry of Vietnamese culture can comfortably accommodate these additions.  Indeed, the enthusiasm surrounding Christmas and Halloween demonstrates a youthful openness to global experiences, a valuable trait in an increasingly interconnected world.  Rather than viewing this as a threat, we should see it as an evolution, a broadening of cultural perspectives without necessarily losing our Vietnamese identity.
