In this reflection includes my comprehension of the concepts included in the statement, my experience to clarify it.
In the interaction with westerners, Face-saving/ Face- threatening related to Association Rights is not the most a matter of concern to Vietnamese, but their most fear is threats to interpersonal harmony, as well as Cheng & Starosta (2005) point out
“Human communication is a holistic system by which people develop and maintain harmonious relationships in a continuous transforming process of mutual dependency. This model of communication, which is clearly embedded in Eastern thought, […] is essentially different from common Western approaches because it holds harmony as the end rather than the means of communication”.

Association rights refers to the emotional exchange in interpersonal interaction.to Vietnamese the need to keep association with someone is dominate the need of time saving – The prevalence of orientation towards association over time orientation. In my case, when we had a chance to study with American teacher, we preferred to ask him about his life, his experience, his feelings in Vietnam than focus on discussing about the lesson topic, one day he showed his feeling which made us disappointed, he said he just wanted to talk about the lesson content, not the irrelevant thing during the time in classroom. We thought that we just want to get close by knowing more about his life which is normal with Vietnamese culture who freely share with us a lot of thing about his life in the classroom. We didn’t meet in using time, the foreign teacher wanted to spend the class time to the class works.The other idea which I have no experience is the philosophy “time is money” from the example on page 114. It’s the story of employee didn’t feel good when her foreign boss paid money for her time of extra work. She claimed that he didn’t care of the emotional aspects. Vietnamese and Westerners contrast in view of time which may break their relationship.The other aspect is Association rights dominate the

What made Dr. King’s speech so compelling was the fact that he was preacher and was very good at capturing the audience’s attention. The way he presented his arguments to captivate the audience and to get them to agree with whatever he was saying was a technique called the Aristoliean rhetoric, a device that helped him persuade his audience to accomplish his goals. But when he made the “Beyond Vietnam-A Time to Break Silence” speech on April 4, 1967, it was not recognized
