Q1.
A social relationship refers to the relationships and interactions that exist between people in
society. These relationships can take many different forms and occur on multiple levels,
ranging from intimate personal connections with family and friends to more distant exchanges
with acquaintances, coworkers, or even members of larger communities.Humans require social
ties, which play an important part in molding people's lives and well-being. They can provide
emotional support, information sharing, and collaboration in a variety of areas of life. Here are
some common social relationships: family relationships, friendships, romantic relationship,
community and social relationships, etc.
There are many reasons why social relationship important:
Collaborations and Cooperations: Social relationships play a crucial role in
communities especially teamwork and collaboration in both personal and professional
settings. When they have high awareness of work and know how to efficiently
communicate, like solving problems with customers, partners, they are able to achieve
common goals.
Social Norm, Behavior and Social Control: Through the establishment of social
standards, expectations, and social control, social interactions have an impact on human
conduct. We frequently adapt to these norms in order to fit in or earn acceptance from
others, and the worry of facing social repercussions might deter unconventional
behavior.
Information and Learning: Social interactions facilitate the sharing of knowledge,
experiences, and cultural values. Learning from others is a significant part of human
development.
Sense of Belonging: Humans are naturally sociable creatures, and social connections
provide a sense of identity and belonging. Being a part of a group or community can
improve one's sense of self and worth. It can provide them a sense of direction and
community.
Emotional Well-being: Social relationships make them reduce stress and escape the
loneliness feeling and isolation. Communicating is the key point of social relationships
and helps people have higher energy when eliminating many difficulties in their life by
communicating.
Example to Justify the Influence of Social Relationships on Human Behavior:
Social relationships with peers during adolescence play a significant role in shaping behavior.
Adolescents often seek acceptance and validation from their peer group, which can influence
their decisions and actions. For instance:
Peer Pressure on Substance Use: Teens who hang out with friends who use drugs,
alcohol, or smoke may take up these harmful habits themselves in an attempt to fit in or
win the favor of others. This demonstrates how social interactions can influence actions
that may not be consistent with a person's principles.
Academic Performance: Positively, social connections can influence academic
achievement as well. When a kid associates with peers who excel academically, they
may be more motivated to put in more effort and achieve better grades.
In general, this illustration demonstrates the profound influence that social relationships
both positive and negative—can have on people's conduct. It emphasizes how crucial it is to
comprehend how social ties affect an individual's decisions and behaviors.
Q2. Example of sociology: Tet Holiday
What is Tet Holiday ?
Tet is the most significant traditional holiday in Vietnam. It is often referred to as Tet Nguyen
Dan or simply Lunar New Year. The Vietnamese New Year is celebrated according to the lunar
calendar, and according to the Gregorian calendar, it usually occurs between late January and
mid-February. Vietnamese people celebrate the start of a new year and pay respect to their
predecessors during Tet, which ushers in the spring season.
How was it established ?
During the reigns of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the Lunar New Year, a component
of Chinese culture, first appeared. Based on their chosen colors, the kings selected various
months for the year, including January, December, and November. Different Tet days were
designated for various dynasties, with the idea of "creating heaven and earth" being used.
During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Confucius changed the month to the Tiger month, while Qin
Shi Huang changed the Pig month to October. Tet was instituted by Emperor Han Wu (140 BC)
of the Han Dynasty in the Tiger (January) month. No dynasty altered the Tet month again after
then.

years. It became a historical and agricultural event to celebrate the dawn of the new lunar year
and the coming of spring. Tet's origins are firmly ingrained in Vietnamese mythology, customs,
and historical occasions.

Thanks to influences from culture and religion , Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism
have all been incorporated into the Tet festival over time. It involves paying homage to
one's ancestors, presenting sacrifices to gods, and going to pagodas and temples to seek
spiritual guidance.
Shopping behavior: People in Vietnam believe that if they wear new clothes
(traditional like Ao Dai or colorful bright colors like red, yellow or blue) on Tet
holiday, it can bring good luck and prosperity to people for the upcoming year. So, a
trend of shopping in Vietnam during the period before Tet became significantly popular
and important, almost all shopping streets in Vietnam (such as Tran Quang Khai,
Nguyen Trai,..) crowded and bustled.
Besides, people have planned to purchase beverages, confectionery, jam and gifts
around 1 or 2 weeks before welcoming Tet. Because in Vietnam beliefs, The jam tray
is first of all a wish for a happy and sweet new year that the homeowner gives to the
guest who comes to celebrate Tet at their house. This is also the homeowner's own wish
for good luck in the new year. In the jam tray, candy can not be missing, sweet candies
represent the expectation that the new year will contain many sweet things.

sharing special Tet delicacies like banh chung (sticky rice cakes), banh day and mut
