LNYF Screening:

February 15, 2012LNYF Presents: A Round Table Discussion on Culture and Parenting: When: Thursday, March 1st Where: Tisch Commons Time: 7:00PM Cultural identity is one of the largest factors playing into social interactions. Every day, we react to situations based on how we were raised and values we have internalized. However, just as cultures vary across a broad spectrum, so do our social interactions. What we hope to accomplish in this discussion is open up inter- and intra-cultural dialogue regarding how we act today. Namely, we would like to address cultural standards and expectations surrounding parenting strategies. How were you raised? Do you think your parents' culture influenced how they raised you? What aspects of how you were raised would you like to give to your children (if you plan to have children)? Would you change anything? We would also like to explore cultural influences on values and on perceived dichotomies such as success/happiness and freedom/self-discipline. We will be using The World Cafe method of discussion. http://www.theworldcafe.com/method.html Refreshments will be provided. Amy Chua Speaker Event:When: Tuesday, March 6th Where: Graham Chapel Time: 5:00PM There will be a book signing and reception in the Women's Building Lounge at 3:30PM Amy Chua 'Tiger Mom' is currently a Yale Law Professor. She is most famous for her memoir, 'Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother' that discusses her experience with 'tiger parenting,' a strict parenting technique, and the successes and failures that came along with it. The sensationalized image of her was created by The Wall Street Journal that took a short excerpt from her novel and titled it, 'Why Chinese Mothers are Superior.' Thousands of comments were made in response to the online post, varying from pure appreciation to utterly appalled responses. During her talk, she will be dispelling the misconceptions that the media has created and discussing the clash of cultures that she has experienced as an Asian American in the US.
