Superstitions

Now in CRITICAL LITERACY subject,  i have to choose and write about the SUPERSTITIONS. No doubt, there are enormous superstitions among the world that can i choose. However, i would like to choose the Malaysians superstitions because i believe some of us especially the youth is not familiar with our own superstitions.

With the superstitions that i had choose, there are also the LEFT BRAIN HEMISPHERE and RIGHT BRAIN HEMISPHERE. In simple words, left brain thinking is to criticize while the right brain thinking is for defend.

In Malay culture, there are two superstitions that i had choose :

1)IF A LADY SINGS WHILE COOKING, SHE WILL DESTINED TO MARRY AN OLD MAN.

CRITICIZE  (Left Brain Thinking)

 

• This superstitions is ridiculous. This kind of action cannot determined someone’s  life because only God can determine someone’s life and death.
•   This superstitions is not relevant because this action do not have any effect that can cause the lady to marry the old man.

·  

EMPHATIC (Right Brain Thinking

• This superstitions is used for a mother to avoid a daughter from do any mistakes while cooking  and in addition, this superstitions also can avoid a daughters from being hurt.
•   This superstitions is relevant because it is not appropriate to a girls or a women to sing in the kitchen.

2) A LADY CANNOT CHANGE PLACES DURING MEALS OR SHE WOULD REMARRY MANY TIMES IN HER LIFE.

CRITICIZE  (Left Brain Thinking)

•    When changes places during meals cannot changed someone’s life because this kind of action does not have any ‘magic’ or superpower to make the lady remarry in her life.
•     If the lady truly remarry in her life, it is because of God’s will because everything that happened in the lady’s life is determined by God.

EMPHATIC (Right Brain Thinking)

•   This superstitions is relevant because it can teach the lady that it is not a good behavior to a lady changes places while she is eating and therefore, it is not be accepted in Malay’s culture

• This superstitions is also relevant. It can avoid the places being dirty because of fall food from the plate while the lady changes places.
