According to Chua, Chinese parents do not only set strict rules and regulations that their children have to abide by, but they also use negative reinforcement when their children do not want to obey their orders. In contrast, western parents believe that it is unnecessary to control their children preferences such as, no watching T.V, studying excessively and only participating in extracurricular activities that they are assigned to be successful throughout life. However, Chua claims that the children brought up by the “Chinese mother” style of parenting still turn out not only to be mentally, physically, and emotionally stable but happy and as well as successful later on in life. Chua says she knows this because the “Chinese mother” methods help her raise two successful kids. She gives a list of things that her children were not allowed to do, which consist of them not taking part in any school plays or getting any grades less than an A and that it all paid off for her in the end.
Chua (a Chinese mother) feels differently, moral and culturally. For example, Murphy expresses, “Ms. Chua claims that her parenting methods will produce ambitious, successful and happy adults while her critics argue that her methods will produce neurotic, self-absorbed and unhappy ones” (279). As Murphy and Chua’s feelings on the importance of childhood years are extremely opposite, there are many supporters to both theories. You can observe this by reading the responses to Murphy’s essay posted online on The Wall Street Journal Website.
In other words, one-child policy is another way to reduce the resources. Chinese government encourages people “late marriage, late childbirth”, which make a big effect for young couples’ thoughts. In today’s China, some young couples choose to have children late or do not want to have a child. Some new styles of family are growing in China. For a big country like China, one important thing is being responsible to the world.
Not only the young daughter Lin, but also everyone who tries to live and fit in different country with a strange culture always finds a big challenge of adaptation. Every country has different tradition, culture, and custom, it makes people find difficulties in changing themselves to fit in the new life. However, it also causes many positive effects on people by changing their point of view and personalities. During the story “All- American Slurp”, the Lins find the hard ways in learning American culture. They try to act professionally like the other Americans, especially the young daughter Lin.
In Oates’ story, the conflict between Connie and her family develops from a combination of several sources, and it makes the story easier to relate to real life and thereby more meaningful as a whole. Perhaps the most significant source of the tension in her family life is Connie’s age. The story takes place as she is beginning to transition from childhood to adolescence, so her desires and attitudes are entirely understandable. She wants her freedom. Yet, like nearly every other child that experiences this, she does not entirely understand what independence entails.
For centuries people seem to think race and ethnicity define a person, However, we now know that there is more to a person than just race and ethnicity. In our society the heritage of an individual most likely defines who they are. Each individual, regardless of religion, race, or ethnicity has a sense of pride burning within them. This concept of pride sometimes overturns or perhaps overlooks problems within our society to fulfill this need. In the film Eat a Bowl of Tea, directed by Wayne Wang, a young Chinese couple living in a 1960’s Chinatown located in New York are constantly facing conflicts in their marriage.
Take for example someone who lives in China, although for us we think learning Chinese would be almost impossible and sometimes can not imagine ever speaking it, that is because it is what’s natural to them from an early age. People worldwide have different view points on life, speak different languages, act differently, have different morals, etc. since they grew up in different societies, so it would be the same for someone growing up in isolation. Growing up and adapting to a culture is both mental and social, and affects the way any person thinks. I find that survival would become anyones first priority and natural instinct.
Another Asian culture is that young adults have responsibility for taking care of elders. Education is also important for Asian family. Asian parents always push their children very hard and force them to get very high scored on their education because they want their children to be “perfect”. Asian parents believe that high education can get a much better life and job. Asian parenting might look pushy and pressuring to Western eyes, but that is what Asian-American children say their parents’ guidance is warm and love.
These hard working parents and dedicated teachers all want to see America with a brighter future, they are doing what they can to make sure that there children grow up to be important part of a good generation. Now it is time for the school districts that are stealing money and government who is not regulation the education system well too do there part and make sure all that money that people have worked hard for and the parents hard work pays off, with better education system for American
Early on during this stage, they may face a bit of confusion because they may feel pressured by family members to make certain choices in life such as obtaining a higher education or not starting a family. Because young adults are still in the process of trying to find their way through life makes their mental state bring about a number of ups and down. At this point in their lives, establishing healthy bonds with others can allow them to better handle such situations while they try to make crucial
