HOMEWORK - Superstitions

COMMENT ABOUT MS.CAMILLA'S PRESENTATION
her presentation with lots of pictures of foods was so nice and interesting! I was especially surprised about the big fish, and want to try danish bread cause i love bread!

1. DO YOU THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT SUPERSTITIONS IN MANY COUNTRIES IN CROSS CULTURE COMMUNICATION CLASS? WHY?
yes, i do. superstitions came down from old people to us, people of today, so we can see cultures through them. like what is important in this country, what people think that country... i guess every country has own superstitions and they should affect them cultures, personality, ...all things!

2. IS COMMUNICATION AFFECTED BY SUPERSTITIONS?
basically no. i never have communications affected by superstitions.
but there are some people or countries communicating with superstitions. the news i read last year said that a hotel in China did not accept an event held by Holland. because Dutch wear clogs, wooden hard shoes, and some Chinese believe a superstition: sounds of hard shoes give them bad things.

3. DO YOU BELIEVE IN SUPERSTITIOUS? IF YES, WHAT SUPERSTITIONS DO YOU BELIEVE? WHY DO YOU DO, USE, OR BELIEVE IN THEM?i do not believe in superstitions. they must be interesting and fun but believing them is kind of childish. i cannot believe things that is unsupported by fact and unseen.

    Yes, Japanese superstitions came down from old people to us too. So, If you examine for a country's superstitions, you can see the country's cultures.
