    Answer: Cultural repertoire consists of components that may influence the way a parent raises a child. Middle class child rearing, the book asserts, generally conforms to the logic of concerted cultivation, according to which parents view it as their duty to actively foster the development of their children’s potential skills and talents. By contrast, the book notes, working class and poor child rearing conforms to a logic of the accomplishment of natural growth, according to which parents assume that if they provide their children with love, feed and clothe them, and keep them safe, the children will grow and thrive spontaneously.…

    The reading is about the stereotype regarding Asian Americans as a model minority. The literature review shows a lot of different opinions about why people stereotype the Asian Americans. First, there is a widespread saying that the academic success of Asian American students is because of the hereditary differences in intelligence and Asian cultural values. Moreover, some people say Asian American children are more sensitive to please their parents and they are more likely to be influenced by their parents. In my opinion, it has something to do with the culture values. Asian American parents always have high expectation on their children and they invest a lot in their children’s education. Recent study reveals human capital family, culture…

    This closeness acts as an aid for success. When Asian-American students felt that they were failing, their brain automatically thought of their mother and the child found energy in that pressure to help bounce back (a fact that is also supported by the California study). In Asian culture, it is excepted that the mother pushes their child greatly towards success. This interdependence between mother and child is the trait that creates the power behind a mother's pressure. A defining trait of “Tiger Moms” is that they don’t just give an order to their children, they completely engulf their own life with their child’s. The mother keeps complete track of their child’s whole schedule, their assignments due, the instrumental practices, and helps them keep commitments. The extra support and pressure from their mothers are believed by the culture to help create efficient and dependable members of society (Parker,2014). In European- American families, there is normally a lot strained on being independent, and allowing a child to make their own decisions. This helps create a more creative child, but not necessarily a more successful one. “Most researchers investigate how a child is brought up” (Ember & Ember, 2014, page 62-63) when they are researching or investigating disobedient vs obedient children in the classroom. This is why studies have shown that “tiger moms” raise better-behaving children in school. In summary, Asian-American mothers are more forceful of decisions in their child’s life, which creates more obedient…

    Language can be defined as the human capacity for acquiring and using complex systems of communication. This system allows individuals to express and communicate thoughts and feelings by using speech sounds and written symbols. The scientific study of language is linguistics. There are four key features of language, which are phonemes, words, sentences and text. Phonemes-phonetics can be considered the most important key feature of languages, because this aspect is what makes each language different from one another. Phonemes are sounds usually indicated by slash symbols, and these sounds cannot be broken into smaller sounds. Phonetics studies the physical properties of those speech sounds, and what they mean. Words, the second key feature in…
