Abstract

This research will consider from both theoretical and practical sides the implementation of Criteria Framework for happy families in HCMC from the perspective of cultural philosophy. Specifically, in this work, the author will try to demonstrate that family not only should be regarded as the unit of society but as a “cultural cell,” where values are established, negotiated, transferred and reproduced [1,2]. In view of urbanization processes, growing international integration, and cultural diversity, the Criteria Framework cannot be considered as an administrative tool only but as a tool fostering the consolidation of families and creation of urban cultural identity as a means of sustainable development. According to cultural philosophy, not the prosperity alone but the harmonious development of the personality, values, and relations between people within families and outside them defines the notion of family happiness [3]. In this study, I will identify challenges that could impede the implementation of the Criteria Framework. The most crucial are cultural conflicts, reduction of spirituality, community irresponsibility, and age pressures in the city. This research concludes that construction of happy families in big cities should be conducted via integration of policy, culture, and philosophy. In such a way, it became evident that the values are vital for the sustainability of family evaluation criteria.
