Superstition

Left Brain Perspective :
·         This superstition does not make sense because people are free to cut their nail anytime as everyone should keep themselves to be clean
·         Some people might die before their parents, as all human death is based on god’s decision
·         We won’t be able to predict the time of someone’s death, even we think in the term of science

Right Brain Perspective :
·         In certain culture, it has been a part of ancient rule to cut their nail in a convinced specific time.
·         This is maybe due to long time ago there is still no electricity, thus it is dangerous to cut nails in late evening or at night
·         It is easy to clean up the nail than have been cut during the day


Ancient nail clipper..No wonder this superstition exist





2. Sharp objects aren't supposed to be used during Chinese New Year's Day because it symbolizes cutting of good fortune
Left Brain Perspective :
·         This superstition is totally outlandish because Fortune doesn’t relate and resemble by any objects
·         Most of good fortune didn’t come by itself, it comes by a hard effort or by god’s will
·         A fortune cannot be seen, touch, or even cutting it
Right Brain Perspective:
·         This superstition as tolerable especially In Chinese culture, because they respect New Year ’s Day as a day of all war ends in the early times.
·          This superstition is perhaps used to avoid from any accident related to sharp object during the new year’s day celebration
  • It is also to avoid from children reaching sharp object while their parent is unaware about them



     
3.A pregnant woman should never utter foul or vulgar words or you might risk getting your baby cursed
Left Brain Perspective:
1.      This superstition is irrelevant because there is no relation between the people way of talking and the future of baby that is still unborn
2.      This superstition is illogic because in these modern days there are no such things such as jinxing or being cursed.
3.      This superstition does not make any sense because nowadays  there is technologies to observed the health of  the baby which is still unborn. The baby just can’t simply being cursed if the mother still take care of her health.
Right Brain Perspective:
1.      This superstition can be accepted because a mother will carries the responsibilities towards her marriage life. The mother should practices to get rid all negative value in herself (especially when she was about to giving birth) so that the family will be harmony.
2.      This superstition is relevant because all parents didn’t want their daughters to speak vulgar or utter foul to people as it was contradict to the culture. It will also overthrow the dignity of the parent.
3.This superstition makes sense because the young child will definitely be closed  towards the mother after they was born. In this case, the mother will be a guidance towards her child in shaping their manners and attitude,


Be a soft spoken mother, so you will get a soft spoken children
