My answers to the tough questions!

 Q. Do parents ever pressure their children to achieve? Why do you think so?
 
 A. This is really a given, if a parent never pressures their child into doing anything, the child might grow lazy and not feel any responsibility or have any drive.

Q. What are some of the conflicts that parents and children have?

A. Parents and children collide on many things. I know my mother and I disagree whenever she is telling how to do something the right way and I try to be stubborn and think that my way is the right way. That among other things like curfew, who to date, and the child's career choice are some things parents and children may disagree on. 

Q. Do you feel that people can be anything they want to be?

A. Well maybe not anything, but I do wholeheartedly agree with the idea that anybody can pursue anything he or she wants to do or be. I say not anything because a person can not become something illogical, for example, a child says he or she wants to become an astronaut that is something that child can do with hard work and dedication, though say that child said, he or she wanted to become a Pokemon, that is not something that child can achieve no matter how hard he or she tried. 

Q. Do all conflicts have a winner?

A. Not every conflict has a winner. It could even be said that plenty of conflicts end in compromise. International conflicts for example almost never have a winner, but ends with a mutual agreement between both parties.

Q. Compare your relationship with your parents to Chinese children's relationship with their parents in China.

A. From what I have seen in the videos that my teacher Mr. Rease has showed me, what I have seen in my own experiences, and the sterotype that is associated with how chinese parents treat their children, I can say that my relationship with my mother is similar in the way that she has very high expectations of me. However other than that it is almost completely different.
