SOLNAL (설날) - January 8, 2012
Notes/Outline from: November 13, 2011 - IDENTITY
IDENTITY:
- Asian stereotypes:
- influence/portrayal in media, literature, theater, other creative expressions
- Hardworking, diligent, politically inactive, studious, intelligent, productive, inoffensive
- Education system: stereotypes/"model minority" image and their assumed success makes it easy for educators to overlook Asian American students who are struggling academically.
Do you think your kids, who are Korean but are adopted into American families, will grow up to be viewed with these Asian stereotypes? How might you help him/her handle these stereotypes?
- Do you think it's better to be really strict and hard on your child or raise them with more freedom and fewer/lower expectations? Do you think there are different sets of stereotypes for different Asian groups, or do you think the same stereotypes apply to all Asians?
Tiger mom:
- Amy Chua
- Never allowed to:
- sleepover
- have a playdate
- be in a school play
- complain about not being in a school play
- watch TV or play computer games
- choose their own extracurricular activities
- get any grade less than an A
- not be the #1 student in every subject (except gym and drama)
- play an instrument other than the piano or violin
- not play the piano or violin
- "Nothing is fun until you're good at it. To get good at anything you have to work, and children on their own never want to work, which is why it is crucial to override their preferences.
Thoughts? How does Chua's style compare to yours?
