Superstitious lives in everyone, and in this article of TIMES magazine, Bruce Hood, author of Supersense explains where superstition comes from, and how it is involved with the brain. He believe that people use their brain and way of thinking by trying to fit patterns together therefore creating superstitions. Not only does he discuss how our brain creates superstition, but also who are the people that are able to admit they are superstitious and who won't admit it. Religious people admit that they are superstitions while the people who believe in paranormal things do not believe that they are superstitions, which is something many people did not know. Hood states how his book talks about all the things that deal with all these superstitious things, and also what the tittle of the book means. The tittle describes how there are other forces in nature acting on the world that we may not know. He gives examples of superstitions that famous athletes have before playing a gave such as Tiger Woods and David Beckham to help support his argument. Bruce Hood shows his reader that there is more to superstition than just bad luck and ghost, and persuades them to want to go out and buy his book.
Application- Religion has to do with superstition, then why do people view it as a bad think when religion is a good thing?
Style- Do you believe that people all around the world have their own spuerstitions?
