Chinese education in the novel by A. Chua Battle hymn of the tiger mother
Journal Title: Journal of Education Culture and Society - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Chinese culture and tradition stand in direct opposition to American and European cultures. Chinese children must live according to the principles of metaconfucianism from an early age. Failure to do so threatens social ostracism. Amy Chua in her autobiographical novel Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother describes the education of her two daughters living in America according to the principles present in China. The educational methods used by Chua are considered controversial by western parents. The author made an attempt to explain the motives of Asian mothers.
