Is communication affected by superstitions?
> I think it is. It is useful when we communicate with poeple from another countries and talking about superstition is interesting topics to get to know each other and each countries. There is some common things and defferent things, but even if it is different it is okay becuase it is superstition and most of them does not have an evidence and valid explanation. People can not fight with it and people can understand it.
Also, it is useful for child discipline when parents tell superstitions to children not to do something . There is a possibility that some of the superstitions exist to control an act not preferable. For example, "do not cut nail at night because you can not see your parent's death" and "do not whistle at night because snake will appear". Some people feel of discomfort to listen a whistle or the sounds of cutting nails at the time of vacant night and if some people say "be quiet" or "stop it", their relationship dese not go well. However, if it is said becuase of the superstition, their realationship will be fine.

> I don't believe in Japanese or any superstitions so much. Because there is no good evidence and valid explanation. However, someitmes I do, use, or say some superstitions unintentionally. For instance, when i was little, I counted sheep when I can not sleep. another examplae is "you can get rid of your cold, if you pass your cold to another person"
I found an interesting page on the Internet which shows people believe superstitions or not. and also, they shows which superstition comes out from your mind first.

Hello♪ I'm also interested in superstition because you said that they are connected to foreign culture, history and so on. Japan has also a lot of superstition♪I believed that if I whistle in the night, snakes come in my room...It is a lie!!! When I was a child, I believed this superstition!!! When I was a child, I'm still pure girl... It is my favorite superstition, but it is not connected to Japanese history... I'm sorry, but I want to tell you that!!! I want to search a lot of superstitions around the world!!! It looks so fun and interesting♪♪
