How to use "Superstition" in context?
Superstition is the practice of crediting special powers or magical qualities to things beyond the natural or scientific. Superstitions are generally considered to be irrational and unnecessary, but some people still cling to them as if they were genuine beliefs. Superstitions can take many different forms, some of which are harmless and some of which are dangerous. Superstitions can be found in all corners of the world, and they usually have some connection to a culture or religion. Some common superstitions include believing that chickenpox is caused by the devil, believing in black cats, and holding that a crystal ball can see one's future.
