Response the below in detail:

To me the difference between science and pseudoscience is the fact, that science can be proved from research and studies, while pseudoscience comes from myths and the minds of people who believe in non-scientific standards.Here are some of the things I grew up believing in: That your house is suppose to be clean before the New Year comes in and I was also brought up to believe that for Christmas and the New Year we were to cook black eye peas.They don't meet scientific standards because neither example can be proved by science. This hasn't changed my beliefs because that is how I was raised even though I now no that these examples can't be proved by science or scientifically I still believe in them.
