1) What is the meaning of a true tiger mom? 2) Tiger Mom: Some cultural groups are superior 3) Marueen Callahan/ New York Post 4) http://nypost.com/2014/01/04/tiger-mom-some-groups-are-just-better-than-others/ 5) Google, i typed in tiger mom 6) S:Tiger Mom thinks some cultural groups are better than others O: Newspaper article A: Anyway whose read tiger mom or reads the new york post P: To inform that there are some people who take the importance on culture very seriously S: Marueen T: very bias, sounds like she doesn't agree with Chau so she is a little hostile towards her 7) The article is about Marueen's perspective of Chau's writing and methods of raising a child with an iron fist. Marueen sounds like she doesn't agree with her and also she attacks on many points that Chau claims, ultimately challenging methods. 8) The point/thesis of this article is that even though Chau was successful with raising her children to be amazing people, but there were many flaws in her methods thus there are better ways in raising a child than the method that Chau's. 9) quote: Her book really can be reduced to a simple argument: Chinese mothers are better than those of any other race, and these parenting methods are going to result in the West’s big fear — the continued rise and ultimate supremacy of China.

Yet the authors do not mention whether these immigrants are low-wage workers who have a greater chance at upward mobility, and the Pew study they cite is from 2007 — one year before the global financial collapse, resulting in an American economy that may be structurally altered for decades to come.

The real story here — the less controversial one, the more interesting and possibly instructive one — is that historically, immigrant groups tend to experience upward mobility in America until the third generation, and then, for reasons unknown, tend to level off.

These groups — “cultural,” mind you, never “ethnic” or “racial” or “religious” — all possess, in the authors’ estimation, three qualities that they’ve identified as guarantors of wealth and power: superiority, insecurity and impulse control.

And so begins their cat-and-mouse polemic, in which they claim they’re courageously agitating for a greater good: the revival of America itself as a “Triple Package Culture.” It’s a series of shock-arguments wrapped in self-help tropes, and it’s meant to do what racist arguments do: scare people.
