1.Do you think it is important to talk about superstitions in cross culture communication class? Why?
Yes, I think so, because lots of people believe their superstitions. So, when I go to foreign country, if I know the superstition in this country, I will not be rude and be able to enjoy when a local person says some superstition.
2.Is communication affected by superstitions?
Yes, it is. I often use this, we said fool does not catch a cold, superstition. If my friend gets a cold, I say that I don't know you are not fool, and make a joke.
3.Do you believe in superstitions? If yes, what superstitions do you believe?Why do you do, use, or believe in them?
Yes, I do. I believe "Don't whistle at night" superstition. When I was young, I did not believe this superstition. So I whistled midnight, in this moment I felt weird and creepy.
