Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior

"Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior" is an article where the author, Amy Chua, explains that Chinese children are more successful in their life than Western Children. She compares the western parents way of raising their children with the Chinese mother's way and she gives examples from her own way of upbringing.

Amy Chua declares her message and therefor she is the sender of the article. She is professor at Yale Law School, which means that she seems reliable. She knows how she will raise her children, when she follows the Chinese mothers and makes strict rules that protect her children, Sophia and Louisa, from love and friendship. She is subjective through the article because she involves her own life for example page 2, lines 2-3, where she talks about her western friend and how her children only practice 30 minutes every day on their instruments.

This article target group is the western parents, because the author, Amy Chau, wants them to be more like the Chinese mothers and everybody who wants to know the difference between the Chinese mothers and the western parents' way of bringing up their children. This effect the message in the manner that she maybe wants the western parents to learn something of the Chinese mothers' way of upbringing.
