In an interview with Rosanna Greenstreet, Lang Lang points out the destructive quality of the way his father raised him and forced him to excel. Lang claims in the end that he would have been successful without the forceful parenting his father provided. However, even though research has shown some poor mental health effects from “tiger parenting,” memoirist Kim Wong Keltner, in an interview with writer Yasmin Anwar,  claims to still believe that some aspects of that parenting style — the same style Lang experienced — are worth retaining.

For this paper, address the following question:

While Lang Lang’s father may have made a few mistakes, was he right or wrong for pushing his son to achieve such outstanding success?

For this essay, you must refer to the articles by Greenstreet and Anwar, but you may also make use of any chapter we’ve read from Outliers up to now
