I've visited your site before. While I don't 100 percent agree with your opinions on other stuffs, but on THIS ONE, I'll have to say that I see the points you coming from. You have pointed out some real major problems that exist in many parts of East Asia, particularly Taiwan and perhaps South Korea.
As someone who's from that place and moved to the US when I was 14, I can shed some insight with you. Many Taiwanese were raised with child abuse...despite average Taiwanese might disagree with this, IT IS child abuse. Sure I don't agree with completely spoiling the children neither, but East Asian's idea of disciplining children is pretty much like treating the children like an animal for little mistakes. Some of method of physical punishments even borderlines with sexual assault...caning inner thigh below crotch, standing outside in only underwear and bra (shit like that happened before.), yet nobody does shit. With this abusive upbringing, alongside with the isolation of the children proposed by the typical Asian family and the typical Asian attitude regarding academic success, you have these zombie like creatures known as what you've seen in Taiwan.
I was lucky enough to be an outcast at school before I moved to the US, thus avoid most of their poison and able to assimilate a lot faster than the rest of fobs.
I wish to discuss with you more about this subject on the forum or through email. Anyways, nice post. |
