The red flag "Ancient Wisdom" refers to information related to the different aspects of ancient history. An important point to also notice is how immensely the knowledge of history of wisdom has grown from ancient times to the modern day era.
Connection:
This website represents the astronomy had a huge part intellectual development. That the motions of the heavens was able to provide different significant information about astronomically oriented structured and ancient artifacts. The amazing thing is how how far science has come from finding out more about the "unknown" of space by using technology.

Post #3 Red Flag: Appeal to Authority (photo)

Definition:
The idea of believing people in higher power or higher fame have the right ideas or listening to them just because they are more powerful than you or more famous.
Connection:
In this picture it demonstrates someone in power (a dentist) holding cigarettes and saying he recommends them. This is appeal to authority because it gets people believing that someone who is in power "smokes" cigarettes and recommended them. People think if a dentist can smoke them then that they can.

Definition:
This usually refers to people or companies with a lot of power or influence, keeping important information hidden from the rest of the public for their own benefit.
Connection:
A very big national crisis that could fall under this red flag is 9/11. The blame for this event was placed on the terrorist organization of Al-Qaeda. Although, there are many people believing this is an inside job ran by the American Government and there is something they're not telling the public. There are so many different conspiracies on why it was an inside job, from how the buildings fell, the possible use of explosions, to the lack of video evidence. Will we ever find out the real truth?

Definition:
The red flag of conformation bias is people will exclude new incidence and will only listen to what goes with their existing theories and beliefs.
Connection:
A connection could be two people arguing over a gun debate. This website talks about how two individuals and them debating over gun laws. Even if they were to both read the same article/story on these laws, they would still tend to lean  towards what their own beliefs say which will make them perceive details in different ways.

Why Do We Favor Information That Confirms Our Existing Beliefs?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Confirmation bias can prevent us from considering other information when making decisions since we tend to only see factors that support our beliefs.

Definition: Using pointless or irrelevant information to distract someone from the actual truth. May also be used to change a topic or take someones mind of off something because they don't want to talk about it.

Connection: In this picture, the Mom is distracting her daughter by bringing up something else irrelevant to the conversation or what she wants. She wants a toy but clearly her Mom does not want to get her a toy so distracts her daughter by saying, "lets go home and get a treat".

Post #10 Critical Thinking Response (video)

# data[].attributes.body
I choose to talk about the issues of gun laws.

Define Problem:
Are gun laws in the United States to lenient?

Gather Information:
This video speaks about how the gun laws in the states and how they are not strong enough. Recently the fatalities in America have been on such a rise and things need to change.

Evaluate Evidence:
The ABC reporter stated how Americans have access to weapons they should NOT have access to. "A moral outrage that these civilians can legally purchase weapons designed to kill... these are weapons meant for war," obviously proving the point of these laws need to be more strict.

Recognize:
The reporter recognizes that having non-strict gun laws has a direct link to higher fatalities rates in the country. Also the rise of school shootings because the easy access to these powerful military weapons.

Alternatives:
Alternative 1: Stricter gun laws
Alternative 2: Limit the choice of purchasing weapons to strictly small handguns.

Select:
I conclude that gun laws need to be stricter.

Post #7 Reasons to believe emotional connections

# data[].attributes.body
Definition:
Letting our emotions take over instead of being rational and thinking without our emotions. Believing what you want to believe because you are emotionally connected.

Connection: In this picture you can tell the people that have gone to the fortune teller are in emotional distress and are very emotional with their body language. People who may have lost loved ones could go to a fortune teller looking for hope or answers. Sometimes the fortune teller can take advantage of their emotional connection and use or scam them for money as the person in emotional distress will believe the positives as they are emotionally connected.

Definition: Sometimes the human brain can play tricks on you. You might think you see one thing but you really see the opposite. Ex; Seeing a pile of clothes in your room in the dark and thinking its a figure of a person when it really is not.

Connection: For example, in this picture there is multiple different figures or faces. The longer you look at it the more you can pick out. One person could pick up a different figure or face then another person as everyone's minds plays tricks on them. This is an example of patternicity.
