Pseudoscience Red Flags and Reasons for Belief.

# data[].attributes.body
Define: Theories or wisdom that is blindly followed, and disregards modern knowledge, discoveries and technology.

Connection:
I used this humorous comic to show how people blindly listen and trust ancient wisdom or ways. Sometimes no matter how odd they seem or unusual. "Who are we to question the ancient wisdom".

# data[].attributes.body
Define:  The idea that Energy is more then just measured substance in science, that it can heal us and be read by psych's or felt by others.

Connection:
The website of the moon power is only one example of mystical energy, that people choose to believe in for its healing power or calming properties. People are misguided into thinking the moon has harness able energy fields, and that people do as well.

You don't have to be a NASA scientist, astronomer, or astrology-aficionado to appreciate the sheer awe-inspiring magic of a full moon.

It's an experience we've all encountered: after a long day, you're heading home at twilight and suddenly you notice a stunning full moon rising on the horizon. Whatever thoughts were on your mind disappear and you feel an amazing surge of energy and awe. Your connection to the natural world wakes up and you, too, begin to shine!

Full moon energy

Full moons stir up our emotions and amplify mystical powers connected to the human spirit. You take joy in watching what was once dark come into the light, your mind plays out scenes of potential chaos in a wild and untamed world while also basking in deep and uninhibited feeling that is impossible to define.

The time of the full moon is a powerful energy healing opportunity, an optimum time for meditating, recharging your energy field, and clearing your chakras. That is why so many cultures have full moon rituals and ceremonies-there's so much pure energy in the moonlight that anything it touches can't help but respond to its radiance and love.

Using the lunar energy of a full moon can yield incredible healing results, both physically and mentally. Full moons bathe your skin in a soft light, while also illuminating the often overlooked crevices of your subconscious-giving you insights into your spirit and soul.

Define: The Use of Authoritative props, uniforms, language, etc. to manipulate any given audience.

Connection:
The connection between this image and appeal to authority is the use of uniform, stats, and dentist equipment in the background. they use this to give the look of authority and make you trust the commercial and buy their product, in this case toothpaste. In most cases they use actors, and exaggerated stats and information to manipulate the consumer

# data[].attributes.body
Define:  information that is usually used to distract someone from the original question. A lot of useless info unrelated to the topic to appear as though it is useful, or to change topics.

Connection:
I used Trump as my connection because he is famous for being a professional at the red herring method of avoiding topics. In this video they have compiled different times in press conferences and meeting with the public where he completely avoids or changes the subject to not answer specific questions or to distract his crowd.

Post #7 Reason For Belief: Emotional Connection 

# data[].attributes.body
Define: Emotions are what drive a humans thought process, and decision making, which sometimes causes bias outcomes or irrational beliefs.

Connection:
I used a photo of someone holding a Cardinal for this connection, because there is a theory that if you see a cardinal its a deceased loved one coming to visit you. This is emotional connection because even if it may or may not be true we are emotionally connected to our loved ones and want to believe its true. This theory is also similar to the butterfly one with the same idea behind it.

# data[].attributes.body
Define: Its the idea that all natural things are better for you then not. for example Poison ivy, and poison oak are natural plants... but is still poisonous and can cause someone harm. But also some plants are healthy for us and safe, like Aloe Vera plants, they can help with healing.

Connection:
I choose this website because it lined up with my own definition and gives more examples and used a credible source for their information. This site also points out he fact that not all "natural" products are bad, but that producers use the words natural to get consumers interest, and not always for the right reasons. Producers may make more money on a product that isn't good for someone but because its a natural product people will buy it.

Marketers will have you believe natural or organic is synonymous with healthy, but that's not always the case. (As one clinical professor put it over at INSIDER, "Poison ivy's organic and it's not good for you.") Even more innocous ingredients like tea tree oil and rosemary can irritate your skin, though.

Dear Lifehacker, I know some people who swear by organic food. They say it has all kinds of...

The INSIDER points out that, although many health-conscious consumers prefer natural products, those products can be just as bad, if not worse, for people with sensitive skin. According to the Mayo Clinic, a lot of the top triggers for allergic reactions come from natural, plant-based ingredients: eucalyptus and rosemary, for example. They reported:

"People have to be really cognizant of the fact that just because [a product] is botanical, that doesn't mean it's not going to be an irritant or an allergen," Mona Gohara, MD, associate clinical professor at the Yale University department of dermatology, told INSIDER...even if you don't have allergies, some natural ingredients - like tea tree oil and citrus-derived ingredients - are common causes of skin irritation. They may not cause an allergic reaction, but they can still make some people itch and develop a rash.

Of course, this isn't to say these products are bad, either. But it's always useful to know how marketing affects our purchasing decisions. For more info, head to Insider's full post at the link below.
