Superstition in Vietnam
SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY ESSAY
Question: Each individual will be responsible for writing their own research paper on a specific issue discussed in class. The topic will be the same as the one presented on. It is imperative that students write their own research paper.

Specific requirements of both the paper and the presentations will be disscused further during class.
Each student will also present this paper (approximately 5-10 minutes) and their findings to the class at the end of the semester. After the oral presentation, it is encouraged for all to participate in an active disscusion.
Answer:
Since a long time ago, people had always been living with the belief in the supernatural force. Needless to say, there have been many stories and cases with the mysterious air around them occuring all over the world, some are pretty hard to believe, while many others happened very close to our lives, it is just so familiar to us that actually scares us the most. Believing in this kind of force, for me to say, it is neither good or bad as everything in this world always has two sides depending on the viewer’s perspectives, just like a mirror. However, if the people become too obsessed to the supernatural world , it will bring out many negative affects which surely lead to tragedies, that is what we call “superstition”. Basically, superstition is the belief in supernatural causality: that one event leads to the cause of another without any physical process linking the two events, such as astrology, omens, witchcraft, etc., that contradicts natural science. It makes people believe that when certain events happened, which cannot be explained by reason or science, might bring good or bad karma, affect them in positive or negative ways.For short, superstition means blind belief.
Superstition is the fear of what is unknown
