Ho Chi Minh’s Thought is the ideological foundation of our Party and the greatspiritual property of our people, guiding the struggle of our people to go to victory.Promoting learning, applying and following his thoughts is an extremely importantand meaningful work for the Vietnamese revolution in the period of accelerating thenational industrialization, modernization and integration getting deeper and deeper
Patriotism runs like a red thread throughout history, is a noble spiritualproduct, holding the highest standard for morality and leading the ladder of culturaland spiritual values of the Vietnamese nation Patriotism acts as a great endogenousmotivation of the Vietnamese ethnic community, creating the unrivaled power in theresistance wars against foreign aggression and in the cause of building the country
Young people are the mainstay of the country, are the future owners of thecountry, are the pioneering force in building and defending the Fatherland, which areone of the factors determining the success or failure of the Vietnamese revolution.Taking care, fostering and educating young people are really important and necessary
in order to ensure the stability and sustainable development of the country
Nowadays, we are striving to build a Vietnam which is peaceful, rich,independent, democratic and going up to socialism This is a great and glorious careerbut really arduous, complex and unprecedented For the purpose of accomplishingthis career, one of the most important motivations is to promote learning, following

The research works related to the application of Ho Chi Minh’s Thought in thework of educating patriotism to Vietnamese youth all showed great values of Ho ChiMinh’s Thought and patriotism education for the young generation; at the same time
it was pointed out that the patriotism of youth was only formed and developed in the
Trang 12process of social activities, in the multidimensional relationship among individuals,families, schools and society Thus, young people from birth to adulthood alwayshave a relationship with the surrounding environment that formed patriotism In otherwords, the patriotism of youth may be dynamic, changing gradually over time If thischange turns positive, young people will love the Fatherland much more and viceversa, etc
