Prepare a speech on Science and Superstitions.

Solution
Science and Superstitions
Good morning respected Principal, teachers and friends. I am here to speak on ‘Science and Superstitions’. Facts make for science while superstitions emerge from blind faith! There is no denying that most aspects of our lives are based on science or superstition. Science works towards exploring and rationalising the unknown and superstition work on exploiting the fear of the same. Science has been the key player in demystifying things around us and has laid a strong foundation for the development of mankind. Superstitions often stem from our religious and mythological beliefs. When people seek a desired outcome, they rely on superstitions conveniently shielded as faith! It is easier to follow a superstition than consciously avoid it! In conclusion, I think it is only fair to say that science encourages our quest for reason, while superstitions promote irrationality. Thank you all for being patient listeners.
