Superstitions Homework

We talked about many superstitions in many countries, but do you think it is important to talk about them? Why?

Is communication affected by superstitions?Do you believe in Japanese superstitions? If so, what superstitions, what do they mean and why do you do,use, or believe in them?



1, Do you think it is important to talk about them? Why ?

I think it's importnat to talk, because superstition is based on their country's value, daily life, or religious, and it's good to know to understantd their life or culture. It doesn't matter if you believe them or not, but those superstition has came down with generations, so there would be something that made those superstition and i think it would be really fun to know them !!



2, Is communication affected by superstitions?

My age, i think our communication is not affected by superstitions that much. We do talk about that if it happens, like when we find a four-leaf clover, but it's not often. I think my gradparents age, they would believe more and talk more about the superstitions, cause my grandmother tells me about superstitions a lot, so i could say my gradparents generations, the comminivation is more affected by superstitions.


3. Do you believe Japanese supersutition? If so, what superstitions, what do they mean and why do you do, use or believe in them?

I believe some superstition, one that bring me a good luck. For examle, when i find a four-leaf clover and see a shooting star. It doesn't happen that much, so if it happens, i feel so happy and i feel something good luck will happen. I don't usually believe superstition with bad luck, because i don't want care about the bad luck.

I think some of superstitions are affected to our life, culture and habit. There exist some meaningless superstitions though. I agree with you.

Hi, tulalup.
Yea, me too!! I don't need any bad luck!! When I get something like bad luck I care about that, but a few min later I always forget about it. Maybe, I don't want to keep it in my head for long time. hahaha
