I learned that in the olden days, people tought that it is the work of the devil if things went wrong. It is because, they do not know much about science. Another superstitious that I learned is about the witches. People thought that witches worked for the devil and they were evil. For an example, witches turns milk sour and makes crops grow badly. Even important person like the king, believed in witches. Witches were put on trial and hanged if found guilty.
I also learned the modern superstitious. Two interesting Chinese superstitious are, they can't cut their hair during Chinese New Year and buy shoes until they can. They also can't eat bitter groud. It will cause bad luck. Two interesting Indian superstitious are, when they sneezed when steping out of the house will give one bad luck. Another one is, if one dream in the dawn, one's dream will come true. Two interesting Malay superstitious are, one can't urine at trees because 'something' may stay at the tree and will disturb one. One more is, one can't play around when it is evening time. They may crash with a devil.
You don't lack in facts, but I would like to see more personal response; how it is applicable to your personal life. More critical analysis would also be good. 5.5/10
