Chua and Rosin have very different ideas on children’s self-esteem. Chua states that Chinese parents make comments to their children that Western parents find unimaginable such as “Hey fatty, lose some weight” (Chua). Chua herself was called garbage as a child and she said “it worked really well” (Chua). She explains that Chinese parents can say things like that to their children because, they believe “their child will be strong enough to take the shaming and to improve from it” (Chua). She insists that Chinese children know that their parents think of them highly, and criticize them only because they know their kids can achieve high expectations.
Discrimination and isolation Alice accused other Australians of thinking that Chinese people are naturally dexterous. She asserted that dexterity was a result of children helping their parents in their outwork, as the older people’s sight failed. She saw this as stereotyping of Chinese people. Yet she had her own stereotypes of Anglo-Australian children gluing icy pole sticks to paper plates. These stereotypes result from lack of information on both sides, and can result in prejudice and discrimination.
Some people were against the idea of abstinence because they said this would put their kids at risk by “providing a fear-based program that gave children incomplete, inaccurate, biased an sectarian information”. A women from Planned Parenthood referred to it as a “trick” to the students (517). Limbaugh disapproves of this opinion, and says it is “absurd” since he believes that this approach is honest and provides student with information about health endangerment. Students will learn about the truth of a sexually active
They also do not have the financial foundation to support their urge to spend money on the products advertised. Children are much more gullible than adults. Sharon Bedor wrote in a 1998 national conference article about her concerns about advertising to such a young age. “There are questions about the ability of children so young to understand advertising and its intent and not be deceived and manipulated by it. Experts say that children do not understand persuasive intent until they are eight or nine years old and that it is unethical to advertise to them before then.
Impartiality in morality for e.g. explains why we find sexism and racism morally wrong for it is wrong not just because it happens to those we are close to but because it happens to anyone at all. Also although we may like to lavish attention on our nearest and dearest this can be over the top and seen as unfair to the less well off. E.g. a mother spending £1000’s on her child’s second birthday wrong when there are other people’s children starving and dying?
The first difference is that Western parents worries a lot of their children’s wellbeing in the form of their self-esteem than Asian parents does. Asian mothers believe that the worst possible thing you could do to a child’s self-esteem is to let them give up and fail. The second difference Lu Chin displays is that Asian parents believe that their children owe them everything and must use their lives to repay and obey them. The third difference originates in Asian parents who put up very strict and firm rules for their children to follow. The rules are not made to harm the children’s childhood, for an example like Chinese daughters who can't have boyfriends in high school and can’t participate in sleep-away camps, but it simply
the murder of the Third mistress when the master found out that she loved a doctor. The master’s servants also obeyed his orders since he was believed to be the most important person in the household. Thirdly, the women in the film could be seen to represent the Chinese people who are oppressed by an authoritarian government that allows no freedom of expression, restriction on personal liberty and forcing them to be trapped and controlled in the world of the government. Examples include women becoming concubines and not having the power to divorce with the male. Also, the master could love another woman but women couldn’t love another man.
[[1]] Moreover, Chinese thought that sons worth more than daughters and there is a saying in Chinese that “Ten fine girls are not equal to one crippled boy.” There is another notorious saying of daughters as “a loss of money”. From these, we could see that the unequal social status of gender is prevalent. Even in Hong Kong, Chinese woman are treated unequally generally during the 1950s and 1960s. For example in the film, when Suzie first met Robert, she told him that she had a fiancé who she had never met before, and the marriage was clearly decided by her father. Although she was telling lies about this, this
It finds that less supportive parenting techniques used by some Chinese parents damages self-esteem and complicates school adjustment, while also putting kids at greater risk of depression and problem behaviors. “Our research shows that Tiger Mother type of parenting, specifically controlling, punitive, and less supportive type of parenting is really not working in this sample of Chinese adolescents,” said Cixin Wang, an assistant professor at UC Riverside’s Graduate School of Education. “It also shows that it is important for Chinese parents, who tend to be less emotionally expressive and use less praise in parenting, to show their approval, love and support for their children.” POPULAR AMONG SUBSCRIBERS Interstellar, Where No Movie Has Gone Before Subscribe The Last Men of Steel Review: Interstellar’s Wonder of Worlds Beyond Chua’s book was packed with vivid, sometimes shocking tales of her strict approach to raising her own daughters, including
Clearly, this shows that studies prove that due to ‘mediocre’ parents having less involvement in their children’s social life, will lead their children to making immature decisions that they may regret. Amy Chua, like most Chinese parents, states “Chinese parents believe that they know what is best for their children and therefore override all of their children's own desires and preferences.”(2011). This allows parents to become more involved and aware of what’s going on in the social lives of their children. In doing so, strict parents make sure they lead their children in the correct pathway in their social life in order to get a step closer to becoming successful. Most importantly, Chinese parents set
