This article describes and analyzes the working conditions of young restaurant waitresses from the touristic neighbourhood of Ho Chi Minh City (Viet Nam).

The new Culture and Citizenship in Québec (CCQ) program of study, implemented in Quebec in fall 2024, touches on some issues on which there is little consensus in civil society: prostitution, gender identity, medically assisted procreation and transhumanism, among others.

The various contemporary realities addressed by the authors seem to contribute to a culture of the dissociated self and a denial of the body as an organic whole (Agacinski), as well as accentuating disparities between North and South. Finally, by raising the issue of the politicization at school and the ideological indoctrination of young minds (Condorcet, Arendt), this article attempts to reflect on the role of public education.
