Connection: This video demonstrates how Cherrios is trying to convince the viewer that the product helps give you a "healthy heart," with no scientific evidence backing up their claim. They are using their fame as a way to make people believe they must buy their product and consume their product in order to live a healthy lifestyle.

You could ask said person the same question over and over and respect to have a solid response from them, however are given information thrown at you that is completely irrelevant to that of what you are asking.
Connection: This video clearly demonstrates hoe Donald Trump avoids questions related to his business and tries to victimize himself against people who have done nothing wrong or out of their scope of authority.

Connection: This video demonstrates the concept on Ancient Wisdom through healing crystals. ]]> 2019-02-12 03:14:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jolenemclarke/8ox0jknnsgpp/wish/330176924 jolenemclarke https://padlet.com/jolenemclarke/8ox0jknnsgpp/wish/330178111 Definition: Suppression by Authorities is when it is believed that a Government Agency or other is covering up, for example, a cure for a deadly and common disease, such as cancer.
Connection: This video demonstrates from other people who believe this conspiracy to be true and the real-life events that they have all gone through to make them feel the way they do about this conspiracy theory.

Connection : This video clearly shows President Donald Trump telling his viewers that he believes Global Warming and climate change to be a hoax and blames it on another group of people, who he insists are trying to damage the American economy and steal their jobs. ]]> 2019-02-12 03:30:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jolenemclarke/8ox0jknnsgpp/wish/330179982 jolenemclarke https://padlet.com/jolenemclarke/8ox0jknnsgpp/wish/330186452 Definition: Mystical Energy are items and/or people or objects who have 'magical powers"
Connection: This article demonstrates the beliefs of individuals and some conspiracies lying around the idea of the crystal skulls and their ability to see into the future of the person who stands directly in front of the person holding the crystal skull.]]> 2019-02-12 04:05:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jolenemclarke/8ox0jknnsgpp/wish/330186452 jolenemclarke https://padlet.com/jolenemclarke/8ox0jknnsgpp/wish/330187426 Definition: Confirmation Bias usually stems from something that we may remember in past times, such as 'full moons make people crazy.' We ultimately believe it to be true, because why wouldn't it be when we have memories of such beliefs? We do not question it
Connection: This article outlines the possibilities of why the moon "makes people crazy."]]> 2019-02-12 04:12:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jolenemclarke/8ox0jknnsgpp/wish/330187426 jolenemclarke https://padlet.com/jolenemclarke/8ox0jknnsgpp/wish/330188303 Define the problem: Is Global Warming reality, or is it a hoax?
Gather information: https://www.ucsusa.org/our-work/global-warming/science-and-impacts/global-warming-science#.XGJJI_ZFzIU This article stipulates any and all evidence for the truth behind global warming and goes on to explain just why believing it to be a hoax is not only scary, but untrue.
Evaluate Evidence: The source is credible and results can absolutely be reproduced. This is all scientific based and is correct and true information. There is scientific proof to back these claims which is detailed on this website/article.
Recognize assumptions, emotions & biases:   Some individuals may have a strong belief that this in untrue due to influential people in their life, such as the President of the United States. There is no doubt in my mind that followers of his are now convinced that Global Warming is not an actual issues in the world, and merely a 'hoax,' due to his public outbursts of disbelief on the subject. Often times people are raised by parents who have a strong belief or disbelief of something and this can also construe our thoughts and make our mind wander or shift one way or another, without having put any substantial time into researching the topic to prove or disprove it to ourselves or the people around us.
Synthesize Evidence: It is clear a substantial amount of time and effort was put into the scientific research behind the issue of Global Warming through the examples of their testing and the fact that they are able to reproduce such evidence with ease. The non-believers have that of the opposite effect. None of which can prove this to be untrue.
Select best alternative: The only alternative to Global warming, is that there isn't such a thing as Global Warming. After careful consideration and purposely not trying to hone in on 'debunking' Global Warming- I have decided that I do, in fact, believe this to be a nationally concerning issue which needs immediate attention and is absolutely true.]]> 2019-02-12 04:17:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jolenemclarke/8ox0jknnsgpp/wish/330188303
