Response to Amy Chua’s “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior”


This article was originally published on ASIANWEEK.COM
On January 8, Yale professor and writer Amy Chua published an article entitled “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior” in The Wall Street Journal. It caused what has been called “a firestorm of controversy“.
Chua’s article has brought an important issue to light, though I haven’t seen it mentioned in any of the scathing comments I’ve read so far. I haven’t read all of them (3397 comments at the writing of this).
The important issue is: What’s the point of all this achievement anyways?
