Connection:  In this video a former government official talks about things the government is hiding from us, such as how they record phone calls from between citizens and that the government was spying on the french presidents. There is also a conspiracy the government is hiding the truth about life on other planets.]]> 2018-03-05 21:07:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicagater/65j0dlcbjsyp/wish/238358950 jessicagater https://padlet.com/jessicagater/65j0dlcbjsyp/wish/238363871 Definition:  Appeal of Authority is using someone in a position of authority or power related to the topic to make your claim more believable. 

connection: Doctors are the people we turn to for health issues and advice. its a proven fact that smoking causes cancer and other health related issues, doctors don't recommend smoking. this ad portrays that camels are better for you because doctors smoke them, when in fact all cigarettes are bad for you. ]]> 2018-03-05 21:20:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicagater/65j0dlcbjsyp/wish/238363871 jessicagater https://padlet.com/jessicagater/65j0dlcbjsyp/wish/238366176 Definition: Ancient wisdom is persuading someone to believe your theory because its been around for a long time.

Connection: This video shows ancient wisdom because it suggest that the ancients beings created them. people are more likely to believe facts about something from 100's of years ago simply because they still exist today. They believe that if the facts were false they would have figured it out by now therefor they must be true. ]]> 2018-03-05 21:27:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicagater/65j0dlcbjsyp/wish/238366176 jessicagater https://padlet.com/jessicagater/65j0dlcbjsyp/wish/238380203 Definition: confirmation bias is when you choose to believe something strictly due to the fact that it supports your beliefs. information that contradicts your beliefs is usually ignored. 

Connection: a solid example of confirmation bias is Donald Trump as president. this article goes over all the reasons Trump should not be president. A lot of people have a negative impression from Donald Trump,  and since he became president the public has viewed him as a joke. The news seems to broadcast all the negative things trump has done since becoming president and very little about anything positive Donald Trump has done. ]]> 2018-03-05 22:14:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicagater/65j0dlcbjsyp/wish/238380203 jessicagater https://padlet.com/jessicagater/65j0dlcbjsyp/wish/238382796 Definition: "all natural" is when you use the word natural to make people believe its good for you. 

Connection:  In this article it goes over some food that claims to be healthy and all natural but in fact are no, such as cheddar cheese. most people grow up thinking cheddar cheese is orange when it is actually white. so when you buy "all natural" orange cheddar cheese its not actually natural, there is artificial coloring in the cheese. ]]> 2018-03-05 22:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicagater/65j0dlcbjsyp/wish/238382796 jessicagater https://padlet.com/jessicagater/65j0dlcbjsyp/wish/238391553 Definition: Finding faces and patterns in everyday objects or nature. Patternicity is the reason the brain believes something that is not real. 

Connection: In the picture below there is a regular leaf with holes in it, but the position of the holes makes it look like a face. This is an example of Patternicity. ]]> 2018-03-05 23:03:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicagater/65j0dlcbjsyp/wish/238391553 jessicagater https://padlet.com/jessicagater/65j0dlcbjsyp/wish/238441277 Definition: Simplicity is when you are given multiple theories/choices and choose to believe  a certain one due to the fact that it is the easiest to understand or explain.

Connection: elow is a picture of our weekly discussion options, this shows simplicity because each week we are given 3 options to choose from and typically the students would choose the easiest one for them to complete ]]> 2018-03-06 03:32:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicagater/65j0dlcbjsyp/wish/238441277 jessicagater https://padlet.com/jessicagater/65j0dlcbjsyp/wish/238442793 Definition: The unexplained are things we don't know for sure, you cannot prove them and they cannot disprove them. 

Connection: In this article it talks about possible life on other planets that are not in our solar system. Currently telescopes can only view planets within the milky way therefor you cannot prove it or disprove it, making it unexplained ]]> 2018-03-06 03:42:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicagater/65j0dlcbjsyp/wish/238442793 jessicagater https://padlet.com/jessicagater/65j0dlcbjsyp/wish/238451379 2018-03-06 04:39:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicagater/65j0dlcbjsyp/wish/238451379
