An Examination Of The Belief In Superstition Within American And Madurese Cultures.
Keywords:
Superstition, Madurese culture, American CultureAbstract
Superstition is an irrational belief that lacks empirical evidence or logical reasoning. Superstitions are narratives passed down through generations by the Madurese and Americans. Superstitious beliefs, such as the belief in sacred objects, are still upheld by both the Madurese and Americans. These beliefs manifest in numerous rituals and stories that are deeply ingrained in their social lives, serving as a repository of superstitious knowledge. The belief in legendary entities is perceived as peculiar, odd, and irrational by both people and modern society. The author examines the belief in superstition among both the Madurese and Americans, both in ancient times and in the present day. This study aims to address multiple inquiries. The query pertains to the definition of superstition. What are the origins of superstition in American and Madurese cultures? Please provide examples of superstitions from both American and Madurese cultures. Why do contemporary individuals continue to hold onto superstitious beliefs?.
