There are a lot of beliefs that my ethnic group has and I'm pretty sure that there are some that I'm not aware of. Firstly, the belief that women should not wear pants is still very much alive till this day and that if you wear them as a woman you're showing signs of promiscuity and disrespect.Women are just allowed to wear skirts and dresses. Till this day my mom doesn't even wear pants in public because she didn't grow up wearing them and she says she's scared of what people might say. Luckily she never restricted my sister and I from wearing them even my father didn't. When I think about it I don't see anything wrong with wearing pants and I see other women from different ethnic groups wearing them and having no worry. This belief made me search more about women from other ethnic groups and I don't see the world the same anymore because I see that people are different and hold different beliefs and teachings from us.

Secondly,the belief that if someone is having really bad muscle strains only a person who is a twin can help relieve them. My mother is the one who told me about this, she was having really bad  pains on her neck and needed someone to stretch her , so she asked my aunt who is a twin to do it because she has the 'power' to make it feel better as she is a twin . That's when I realized that she was really serious about this and from there on I knew that most people in my ethnic group have this belief and I just decided to go along with it because it must be true. The accuracy of this belief made me realize that many people wouldn't believe it because they would think it's silly but it actually works. Now I see the world differently, I understand that even beliefs that I don't necessarily understand might actually be the real deal and the beliefs don't have to conform just because I don't understand them. People belief in different things and we shouldn't judge because what works for them makes them happy.
