Superstition
Any blindly accepted opinion or notion is referred to be a superstition.
Superstitions may be believed for a variety of reasons, including religious beliefs,
erroneous interpretations of natural events, or personal superstitions. For some,
religion is superstition, while for others, religion is superstition. For some, religion
is superstition, while for others, religion is superstition.As a result of interviews
with a variety of young people and senior citizens. I've discovered a variety of
superstitions they grew up with, such as a superstition based on a false
interpretation that if one's right hand is itchy, money will be found; one person's
right hand must have been itchy and then they found some money; having a lucky
pencil that one must use to write every test to get an "A+" in the test.
Whistling inside a house can bring bad luck to a family member and cause wealth
to leave the house; seeing an empty jar before going to an office or leaving the
house for anything means you will have a bad day ahead of you and your work will
be ruined; and if a cat, especially a black cat, crosses the road, it is a belief that we
should not cross that line on the road until something else passes; and seeing an
empty jar before going to an office or leaving the house for It is thought to bring ill
luck. If you are in a hurry, though, it is acceptable to toss a stone and stroll beyond
the line. These were the superstitions that our society's elders and youth were
raised with, and which are still common and held by them now.
According to the survey, superstitions such as getting an old wife in the future if
you look in the mirror at night, crossing fingers for good luck, scratching forehead
until a black wound does not appear for being a lucky person, putting your broken
teeth under pillow convert to coin, Deuki system, and others are not being
practiced or believed by the elders or youth.
According to the youth, because most of us are now educated, those beliefs are
slowly but steadily being phased out of society. People in the past were
uninformed, therefore they had no idea what was correct and what wasn't. People
used to form their own theories about incidents that happened to them on a regular
basis and connect them to other related events that occurred at the same time. On
the other hand, elderly people claim that superstition is not a joke, but that it does
effect us directly or indirectly. They even claim that if we defy those superstitions,
God would punish us by sending us to hell. The results of the poll suggest that
educated youth are less inclined to believe in superstitions, although the elderly
still believe in them and are afraid of God, believing that they will go to hell after
death. However, as a whole, superstitions are slowly but steadily fading from
society, and just a few of us, primarily elderly people, still believe in them. People
nowadays are more preoccupied with their employment than with gods and
superstitions. These facts indicate that people are evolving and that they are now
viewing everything from a different perspective.

War
Bad effects of War
War is a term used to describe conflict between countries or groups of people. No
matter how big or small a war is, it is always devastating. It's horrible for everyone
in the end, whether they're powerful or weak, winner or loser. Death is the most
sad side effect of war, but it is far from the worst. Even if you die, there are worse
things that could happen to you. Soldiers and civilians have diverse experiences
with conflict, yet we all suffer in times of war, and women and children in
particular suffer unimaginable crimes. Thousands of people have been slain in
recent years as a result of inter-county warfare and internal war. Another legacy of
these battles is widespread trauma produced by crimes and sufferings of civilians,
which results in considerable emotional and psychological damage.
In World War II and we can see the devastation wrought by the atomic bombs
dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. No vegetation are
believed to have grown there up to this point. The town of Japan, as well as the
people that lived there, perished in a flash. The bomb's radius of action was 500
meters, and its radiations affected a large number of individuals. Its rays rendered
many people physically crippled or caused a slew of skin disorders. We can see the
devastation caused by conflict in this way. People are displaced by war, and when
they are relocated, they are unable to work or keep their companies running, which
has a detrimental impact on the economy of the country. Food availability is
reduced, people's sense of self-reliance is weakened, and so on. The hardest part is
how much emotional turmoil it causes. As a result, people's hopes and dreams are
destroyed. It's a squandering of potential. After a lengthy period of good fortune,
everything suddenly goes tragically wrong. Additional effects of war include the
erosion of morality, the transformation of individuals into political puppets, the
absence of peace, the building of hatred, the ruin of nations, and so on. Without a
question, war is a terrible thing, the worst disaster that humanity has ever faced. It
leaves death and damage in its wake, as well as disease and malnutrition, poverty,
and ruin. Overall, war has always been humanity's worst blemish. It was created by
man, yet it has now escaped the grasp of all human forces. Now is the time for the
entire human species to reflect on it for the sake of mankind; otherwise, neither
war nor humanity will survive.
Good Effects of peace
Peace is the road we follow to achieve societal growth and prosperity. It is a time
when there are no clashes or wars, and no one is afraid. It will be impossible to
achieve political strength, economic stability, and cultural advancement without
peace and harmony. Furthermore, before we can impart the concept of peace to
others, we must first find peace within ourselves. It is not the responsibility of a
single person to keep the peace, but it is everyone's obligation. People and nations
benefit from peace because it brings them freedom, happiness, and tranquillity. We
can learn and create more when we are at peace. We can focus on our task when
there is peace. Peace is beneficial to the country's development. Things will go
smoothly and without delay if peace is maintained. It can also be a lifesaver for
those who do not want to participate in any disruptive activities. People will be
able to live in peace without fear of mental torture if peace is maintained. Many
countries aspire to acquire other countries' land and expand their territory in today's
society and world, which leads to conflict and war both within and outside. We can
see an example of a war between Russia and Ukraine, which is evoking fears of a
third World War. Peace is essential in these situations.
There will be riots and battles if there is no peace, and we will all be preoccupied
with safeguarding our lives and the lives of those we love. We must keep peace
since it is so vital to us. Cooperation and tolerance among people, respect for all
living beings, promotion of brotherhood, and other rights should not be violated;
each country should support and live in harmony; treating everyone kindly,
assisting others, thinking positively, respecting elders, and so on are some of the
ways to keep peace. "First make peace with yourself, then bring peace to others," a
great personality once stated. "We can never achieve peace in the outer world
unless we establish peace with ourselves," another individual observed. So, in
order to live a joyful and fearless life, we must first bring peace to ourselves and
then to our society.
