After completing my first draft of my rebuttal to "Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior," there are several things I'd like to comment on. Firstly, research was both easier and more difficult than I expected. It was easier because I was able to find many relevant articles and studies--all that would aid me in my paper; however, at the same time, it was more difficult because I had a difficult time narrowing down which articles and sources that I should actually utilize in the paper. Before I started researching, I assumed that it would be difficult to find information on this topic and easier to incorporate, but I was surprised to find that the research was the easier part, and making decisions on what would work best for my argument was the more difficult part.
For my revision, there are several things I believe I should change or add to the paper. Firstly, I believe I need to discuss the idea of self-esteem more. One or more body paragraphs covering how Chua's techniques are detrimental to her children's self esteem and development would greatly improve my argument, especially considering I have already found several sources that provide quantitative observations with statistics for how this parenting style is damaging for children.
