Connection: I have picked this image as it represents what many of us are guilty of. Many of us will feel a medical symptom and begin to research said symptom. Once we start reading on the symptom, we convince ourselves that we have a disease or illness.

Examples may include ancient Chinese medical practices, or even practices such as bloodletting (withdrawing blood to cure a disease) https://durhamcollege.desire2learn.com/d2l/le/content/231697/viewContent/2679255/View .
Connection: I have selected an image of the Mayan Calendar. My reason for this stems from the epidemic that the world would end in 2012 based on the predictions made with the Mayan Calendar. It was predicted that there would be no planetary alignment and thus creating an apocalypse. This myth was quickly debunked, as it is 2018 and we are still here. https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/maya-world-end.html ]]> 2018-05-28 14:42:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jmcrae0108/14dmrpcj5ktx/wish/264045968 jmcrae0108 https://padlet.com/jmcrae0108/14dmrpcj5ktx/wish/264046067 Definition: All natural refers to typically natural medical practices, such as natural health, use of crystals, use of organic food etc.
Connection: Many ancient civilizations used various gems and crystals because they believed they possessed healing properties. Today, many people still rely on the healing powers of gems, and are even used in facilities such as spas. The crystal, such as amethyst is placed on a point of the body, and it contributes to healing. This is a great website for someone who is interested in learning more about the powers of crystals.

Connection: I have picked this video to use the commercial examples. In this case, celebrities will make an endorsement to sell a product and to make money of of the endorsement. They may not necessarily believe the function of the product to work, but because of their position of power (the ability to sell and appeal to their fans and supporters), it is easy for them to convince the public that the product does work and that the public should purchase it. ]]> 2018-05-28 14:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jmcrae0108/14dmrpcj5ktx/wish/264046172 jmcrae0108 https://padlet.com/jmcrae0108/14dmrpcj5ktx/wish/264046311 Definition: The belief that higher powers such as governments are keeping information vital and private from its citizens. 
Connection: While this website provides insight to the American government, it still provides insight that there are many things that the government wants us to believe or not believe, while covering many secrets that they believe the general public have no business knowing. ]]> 2018-05-28 14:43:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jmcrae0108/14dmrpcj5ktx/wish/264046311 jmcrae0108 https://padlet.com/jmcrae0108/14dmrpcj5ktx/wish/264047278 The goal is to express and explain different concepts surrounding the paranormal and unexplained. Please enjoy!]]> 2018-05-28 14:47:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jmcrae0108/14dmrpcj5ktx/wish/264047278 jmcrae0108 https://padlet.com/jmcrae0108/14dmrpcj5ktx/wish/264047605 Definition: We want to believe because it has an underlying special meaning to us, such as the automatic belief in God (please note I am not arguing this or trying to disprove, I am simply trying to prove an emotional connection), as it is easy to believe when born into it.
Connection: This photo suits emotional connection well. Many of us can relate to having that battle between logic (representing our rational thought - the brain), and emotion (representing what we believe because it makes us feel good - the heart).

In respect for reasons of belief, it means in the simplest terms it is the "easiest" answer. https://durhamcollege.desire2learn.com/d2l/le/content/231697/viewContent/2679248/View
Connection: This is likely the easiest reason for belief to disprove. Seeing a medium or a psychic and having your future predicted is easy to believe, but is it realistic? Is it realistic to believe that the universe was created by an all-powerful being within 7 days? We believe it because it's easy. http://www.iep.utm.edu/simplici/#SH4a

However, one person may perceive something completely different than another (e.g. Person A the dog is black. Person B the dog is blue). Two people could attend the same event and recall the same event, but may have different memories pertaining to the event. 
Connection: I would like to present an optical illusion. My reason is many people may perceive it differently, and have different feelings surrounding the illusion. ]]> 2018-05-28 15:11:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jmcrae0108/14dmrpcj5ktx/wish/264051442 jmcrae0108 https://padlet.com/jmcrae0108/14dmrpcj5ktx/wish/264079256 2018-05-28 18:14:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jmcrae0108/14dmrpcj5ktx/wish/264079256
