The red flag Confirmation Bias is when we use events that support our beliefs to back them up and events that do not support our beliefs are ignored.

Connection:
This website demonstrates the Confirmation Bias red flag because this study is using the fact that half of the accidents were men and women collisions and it cannot be proved that the women was at fault for the accident. There was also more men on men accidents than women on women which leads me to believe the author of the article has a confirmation bias towards women being worse drivers than men.

Who's worse at driving? Men or women?

A new study suggests that women, in fact, may be more dangerous behind the wheel than men.

Researchers at the University of Michigan analyzed 6.5 million car crashes in the U.S. between 1998 and 2007. Female drivers were found to be involved in 68.1 percent of all crashes, according to The Daily Mail.

The results are especially surprising given that men were found to drive 60 percent of the time, while women only 40 percent. In other words, women got in more accidents despite driving less than the opposite sex.

Lead researcher Dr. Michael Sivak said they expected to find that male-to-male crashes would account for 36.2 percent of accidents, female-to-female would make up 15.8 percent and male-to-female would make up 48 percent of collisions.

Instead, analysis showed female-to-female accidents made up 20.5 percent of all crashes, much higher than expected. Male-to-male crashes were lower than expected, at 31.9 percent, while male-to-female crashes were close to their predictions at 47.6 percent.

However, Dr. Sivak refused to go so far as to say he personally believes that women are worse drivers than men.

"The results indicate that in certain crash scenarios, male-to-male crashes tend to be underrepresented and female-to-female crashes tend to be overrepresented," he said.

Women had the most trouble with navigating intersections, the study found. In most accidents, women were "t-boned" on the driver's side while trying to make a left turn, or hit on the passenger side while trying to turn right.

Dr. Sivak said height differences, as women are typically shorter than men, may explain why females have especially high accident rates at intersections.

On the other hand, AOL Autos suggests the data may be a result of gender stereotypes dominating driving behaviors. "Men do most of the driving, and women, who ride along as passengers, are less experienced or confident -- thus prone to wrecks," associate editor Ros Kenneth Urken wrote.

A 2004 study found almost the complete opposite, however. According to The Guardian, Scottish researchers said 94 percent of accidents causing death or bodily harm involved male drivers.

The same study also suggested that because men drive more often, they're more likely to get in accidents. Speeding drivers were found to be twice as likely to get in a car crash, and men were found then to engage in more reckless driving than women.

"There are three dominant driver-related factors," Dr. Sivak said, "including the probability of being at the wrong place at the wrong time, one's own driving skills and the driving skills of the other driver involved."

The Red flag confirmation bias is a problem because we should be looking at all evidence not just the pieces that support what we already believe or want to believe. The object I chose was about women being worse drivers than men and that is simply not true. Your sex does not determine whether or not you are a good or bad driver. The facts in the article contradict themselves because it says that it is about half of accidents are male-female so both sexes are at fault not just women. It seems because the author is a male that they gave preferential to the fact that men are better drivers. It is simply not true and a bias because even the facts point out that there are more males in accidents. This was someones findings after looking at accidents over a year and the results could not be reproduced but should be examined in a different year. Their should be an impartial person to review the evidence of the accidents to see who is at fault to see if sex does determine wheter or not you are a bad driver.

A TOP British historian has claimed that conspiracy theories which suggest the world is secretly ruled by a group called the Illuminati are "lunacy".

Professor Niall Ferguson, a professor of history at Harvard University, has issued a scathing slapdown to people who believe a secretive organisation founded in 18th century Bavaria is controlling world events.

However, his dismissal of the existence of a "new world order" is unlikely to convince many conspiracy theorists who believe he is part of the very elite whose existence he denies.

Later this week, Professor Ferguson will publish a book called The Square and the Tower: Networks, Hierarchies and the Struggle for Global Power which explores the role powerful but often invisible "networks" of people have played throughout history.

Two chapters deal with the Illuminati, a "secret network that tried to change the world" when it was founded in 1776.

Some people believe this group still exists and is quietly working behind the scenes to control the planet.

In his book, Ferguson quoted author Richard Hofstadter's description of the Illuminati as a "vast, insidious, preternaturally effective international conspiratorial network designed to perpetrate acts of the most fiendish nature".

He said this group is incorrectly believed to secretly run the world's political and banking systems and manipulate everything from Hollywood to the oil industry.

"A fairly representative screed describes the Illuminati as a 'super -rich power elite with an ambition to create a slave society'," Ferguson wrote.

Soon after it was founded, the Order of the Illuminati was immediately blamed for causing events including the French Revolution.

Although the order was broken up and suppressed in the late 18th century, many people still believed it continued to secretly pull the strings of history.

Even now, up to half of all Americans believe world affairs are being manipulated by a tiny and malign elite dead set on building a "world government" which dominates the entire planet.

"This may be lunatic, but it's lunacy that appeals to more than a fringe," Ferguson added.

"Far from continuing their plot for world government down to the present, [the Illuminati] ceased to operate in the 1780s and efforts to revive the order in the twentieth century were largely bogus," he continued.

However, Ferguson is unlikely to convince some diehard believers in the Illuminati conspiracy.

He has worked closely with organisations which are often claimed to be involved in a secret plot to rule the world including The Bilderberg Group, a shadowy and mysterious grouping of the world's elite which meets every year in total secrecy.

Ferguson has attended these meetings and has also written a book about a prominent bank that's closely linked to stories about the Illuminati.

If you were a member of the Illuminati, conspiracy theorists are likely to ask, wouldn't you try to convince people that it doesn't exist?

This website demonstrates the Idealogical Support red flag because on the home page it points that flouride reduces the IQ of a child.  This is not true and they use studies that havent considered any other variables as thier reason for belief.  They are using a campaign to raise awareness for their cause and it is backed more by idealogy than by science.
