  1. Hello,
  2. I'm mia Thompson and for my interview project I
  3. decided to interview julie win on her Vietnamese culture.
  4. Julie has lived in Tumwater Washington since she was six.
  5. This is for her aunt, decided it was time for their whole family to leave Vietnam
  6. once the Vietnam war was commenced.
  7. Some interesting findings and realizations I had during this interview was
  8. julie has two different personas when referring to
  9. her household behavior compared to her public behavior.
  10. Another one is when she was little, her parents resorted to spanking her
  11. because they believed this was the best way for her to learn.
  12. Another one is
  13. her last name is a common Vietnamese last name.
  14. So many people believe she's related to others with the same name,
  15. especially in our small town.
  16. Younger Vietnamese generations americanize their interactions
  17. while their older generations are more so glad to
  18. just see their own kind in this small town.
  19. Another one is is if julie were to put her grandparents in a nursing home,
  20. they would feel disrespected because they are
  21. not showing them respect and attention.
  22. Most of their grandparents believe that they should
  23. be taking care of them at their old age
  24. in order to communicate effectively with someone from the Vietnamese culture.
  25. It is extremely important to be patient
  26. patients allows them to explain
  27. with time, so they're not being interrupted.
  28. I learned at the beginning when I interrupted julie,
  29. it leads to pauses in our conversations
  30. because when I would ask her questions mid sentence,
  31. it would throw her off and kind of make her confused.
  32. Another very important aspect to focus on is when they are done with their response.
  33. That is the time to clear your confusion, not during their mid response.
  34. So they can like
  35. respond to that,
  36. not respond to both questions while they're trying to answer the first question.
  37. Lastly,
  38. I strongly suggest showing your appreciation towards them with polite manners,
  39. julie knew I was appreciative towards her time with my polite manners,
  40. so she wasn't comfortable in my home and was not hesitant to do the second interview.
  41. That was my interview. Thank you for listening.
