Media and Pop Culture in Vietnam and Cambodia Rachel Lindrud

What reminders (both formal and informal) of the American-Vietnamese war did you encounter during your visit? Based on your observations, what does the war mean to the Vietnamese? To what extent does the war color your own impressions of the country? To what extent do you suppose the war influences the way that Vietnamese view you?

Describe Vietnamese and Cambodian media and popculture. What programming or films did you observe? What did you read? What music did you hear? How did Vietnamese or Cambodia media differ from American media? What elements of global media concentration did you observe? What local advertisements did you observe? How did they differ from the advertisements that you are typically exposed to? What cultural values do the ads appeal to?
