Question:
Summarize
the points in the lecture you just heard explaining how they serve as examples
of the points made in the text.
Sample
Response:
The
lecture relates to the points in the passage, power of superstition and the
psychological mechanism of our belief in superstition, by examining a common
superstition.
The
lecture takes up the behavior of blessing someone who has sneezed and shows how
deep-rooted in our minds this particular superstition is. The professor
describes how difficult it is not to bless the sneezer by providing his own
experience, in which he felt as if he was being accused of not doing it and gave
in in the end. This demonstrates the point in the text, the strong influence of
superstitions, which makes even highly educated people observe them.
The
professor also gives some explanations of this practice, which corresponds to
the explanation of the psychological mechanism of our belief in superstition in
the passage: superstitions help people overcome fears by providing them with security
against what they cannot control. One explanation he provides is the old belief
that one’s soul could escape from the body with the sneeze. Another more likely
explanation is that sneezing used to be the sign of a fatal disease and that
the sneezer actually needed blessing. Although the professor finds an
incoherence of this explanation in that there is not the same kind of
superstition about coughing, he dismisses it as he finds it natural that
explanations for superstitions do not add up because superstitions themselves
are beyond logic.
