Literature Review
Hong Kong parents are known for their rare yet famous parenting approaches including ‘Monster Parents’, ‘Tiger Mothers’ and ‘Helicopter Parents’.

Due to lack of emotional responsiveness and love from their caregivers, these children tend to display deficits in cognition, attachment, emotional skills and social skills (Cherry, May 2016). Apart from this, this parenting style may also contribute to the adoption of the pessimistic attitude in children. They may be reluctant to talk to others. For instance, they may not be willing to participate in any group activities and isolate themselves by playing alone in one corner in the classroom. Thus, resulting in lack of social competence in children. Moreover, this child rearing style may result in problems in the long-term for these children.

Women on the Homefront During World War II The World War 11 period is a very interesting time in women's history in the United States because for the first time, women were actually being encouraged to take jobs that were usually held by men and therefore needed a more "masculine attitude" . Traditional female gender roles were challenged during this time period . Not only were some of these women simply serving the country during its need in wartime, but they were trying to pursue their own passions and interests . The government and media's heavy use of propaganda such as Rosie the Riveter was used in order to manipulate and influence women into joining the workforce and taking on more "masculine" jobs, simply because the men were away at war.
