Rebuttal Prewriting Exercise

The only way to rebut Amy Chua's article is to mostly challenge assumptions, due to her severe lack of evidence. I don't see an opportunity to counter argue simply because it would be difficult to generate a strong rebuttal. I think the best possible way to go about the response is to refute.

Some quick pieces of the article that stood out
-overall a childish, poorly structured, weak argument
-many over generalizations
-pompous and egotistical tone
-unethical to the audience she is scrutinizing

Rough Claim
Amy Chua uses Why Chinese Mothers are Superior to present an argument that lacks any sufficient convincing evidence, and supports a claim that condemns and insults Western Society.
