In Vietnam, when a couple have a baby, and in their kid's first birthday, they always hold a big party and invite many people such as friends, neighbors and all members in their family to come to enjoy. All the guests will prepare some gifts for the baby base on the baby's gender. If the baby is a boy, he usally recieve some toys like superman toys or which is relevant to strength such as police man, super hero, sometime is clothes and things that useful for the baby, but it is printed picture of superman or in blue color. On the other hand, girls are recieved something more girly like dolls, make up toys or everything is relevant to pink.
Boys are always expected to learn active and strength required activities and like soccer, basketball or taekwondo. Girls are learning to cook, scuplture or painting, activites that are require finesse and skills. However, in my opinions, that is stereotype because nowaday, boys and girls can do the same things by practicing. It's up to their passion, also.

Blog #4
In 5 topics that I have read, maybe I'm interested in "The Arts in a Cultural Context" on page 166 - 169. First of all, maybe because it is easier to read and understand what is the writter talking about and the topic is similar to our life, we can easily see art in normal life. Sencond, the reading doesn't have many new vocabulary for me to look up on dictionary haha. Lastly, I found it's true that there are different types of art in different cultures. For example, many countries in Western are interested in painting while Asian countries usally get inspired by scuplture.
I'm very interested in the symbolic communication because it is worldwide value, every countries have it. an example of this is dancing or singing, maybe we can not understand clearly the stories or know the right way to enjoy, we still can enjoy the movement and melody. In addition, to me, art is one of the ways that I can use to start a conversation with someone in another country. By asking about their music or their traditional art.
