#9: Argument and Counter Argument

Points of my Argument: Counter argument: Financial independence is too shallow of a definition of success. If we use that perspective, tiger parenting works because of a lot of Asian Americans are financially independent and outwardly successful, but at a major cost. Asian American students feel like they do not belong, lack connection to their family members, suffer from mental health issues, and struggle with trying to develop their sense of self. Argument: Self-determination theory is a better way to define success because it encompasses more than just financial independence.

#7 My Frame

Vasquez, Ariana & Patall, Erika & Fong, Carlton & Corrigan, Andrew & Pine, Lisa. (2015).  Parent Autonomy Support, Academic Achievement, and Psychosocial Functioning: A  Meta-analysis of Research. Educational Psychology Review. 28. 10.1007/s10648-015-9329- z.  Key terms from this source: Self-determination theory: the idea that there are three universal psychological needs that underlie human motivation and achievement: autonomy, competence, and relatedness.  Autonomy: when one feels like their actions are their own  Competence: a ready approach to a task or new environment  Relatedness: the need to be attached to a community, group or family Last week, I used the literature review to think more about what success is.
