Keywords: Honor, Face, Family Honor, Culture, Gender

Abstract

The abstract concept of “family honor” has rarely been analyzed in Vietnam’s social sciences and humanities. It explains several ongoing phenomena in social life, which are related to people’s behaviors and responses towards moral dilemma of their marriage and family life. Taking into account of relevant aspects of the definition and approaches, the paper clarifies its varied interpretation associated with complex sociocultural contexts as well as particular case studies, and addresses the requirement for caution in understanding and manipulating this concept.
