Superstitious beliefs can be found in every culture and our culture is one of them. A society has more such dim-witted unbelievable beliefs when it is closed to itself and there is no straightforward interaction with other cultures. In fact, superstitious beliefs are believed among women more than men for the reason that they are less educated. Most of superstitious beliefs in our society are found as old traditions which transferred from one generation to another. In fact, many of superstitious beliefs in our culture which some people still believe in can be viewed from different angles.
First, some of superstitious beliefs are associated to women’s life. These beliefs show their old immature way of thinking. For example, they can guess the sex of baby by a dead male snake. It might seem to be a strange idea to inspect the future, but there are still many people practice it. So, after killing a male snake, they articulate the name of the pregnant while they are throwing the snake. So, if the snake falls on its back, the baby is going to be a girl. On the other hand, if it lays on the other side, the baby is going to be a boy. This superstitious belief is common among old rural uneducated women and they used to practice it mostly with children.
Moreover, some of superstitious beliefs can be found within adults in many cultures which are related to bad or good luck. For instance, the number 13 is an evil omen which is believed by many young people in our society. Actually, this belief is transferred to our culture from west countries. This number is a sign for bad events that might happen to you in a little while. For example, if the student’s number in a teacher’s list is 13, he or she is going to fail the course as some believe. So, most people who have this belief in their minds try to avoid making their private parties on the 13 of each month. In my opinion, if I decided to get married, I would have the wedding on the thirteen. This only to show people how...
