Introduction;+Conclusion+--+Outline


 * (Introduction) **** The publication of __Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom__, as well as an excerpt from it in //The Wall Street Journal//, set off a firestorm of controversy among enraged American parents who accused its author Amy Chua of child-abuse and creating robotic high-achieving daughters. Chua basically accuses American parents of being “too soft” and “allowing failure” through fear for their children’s self-esteem, and she herself assumed strength rather than weakness in her children and pushed them absolutely as hard as could. __In this research paper I will examine Chua’s parenting style, as well as other critics of it, and then I will add my own opinion to the mix towards the end.__ **
 * First of all, there is Chua’s words in the //Wall Street Journal//. **

 * Finally, I will explain my own opinion on “Tiger Moms” and this extensive debate on parenting. **
 * __ (Conclusion) __**** Amy Chua’s Wall Street Journal article received some 10,000 comments online, and her Facebook page received another 100,000 comments. Clearly, what she wrote touched a nerve in contemporary America. It would seem there are as many opinions and parenting styles as there are parents out there, and who is to say “who is right”? __As for me, I would say “to each his own,” and that nobody has the “right answer” for the slippery, difficult job of a parent trying to produce the best human being they can.__ A dose of humility, another portion of undying love, and our children then must take it upon themselves to become the best human being they can become. **
