Some people today still think that these ancient ways are still superior to modern science.

Connection: The practice of sati ( Widow Burning) is a ancient Hindu custom where a widow would kill themselves by throwing herself onto her husbands funeral pyre. At this time widows believed that they had nothing else to live for and therefore should kill themselves after their husbands death. The last recorded sati was in 2008, but the practice was made illegal in the late 1800s.]]> 2017-02-08 20:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/meaganholwerda97/8ud2bbi3inan/wish/152621169 meaganholwerda97 https://padlet.com/meaganholwerda97/8ud2bbi3inan/wish/152631119
Definition: Appeal to authority is when influential people (i.e; celebrities, doctors, etc.) are used to make a product seem more credible.

Connection: This photo of the Scientology Celebrity Gala demonstrates the appeal to authority because Scientology uses the endorsement of celebrities to make them seem more desired and credible.]]> 2017-02-08 21:40:12 UTC https://padlet.com/meaganholwerda97/8ud2bbi3inan/wish/152631119 meaganholwerda97 https://padlet.com/meaganholwerda97/8ud2bbi3inan/wish/153236380 Definition: A red herring is a distraction from the topic in order to be misleading.

Connection: This photo demonstrates a red herring because Calvin uses the distraction that 'its just a ball in the gutter. Its not as if..." so that his father will be thrown off and the ball in the gutter wont seem that bad.]]> 2017-02-11 19:46:23 UTC https://padlet.com/meaganholwerda97/8ud2bbi3inan/wish/153236380 meaganholwerda97 https://padlet.com/meaganholwerda97/8ud2bbi3inan/wish/153237765 Definition: All natural products can still be deadly if the wrong herb is used or mixed with another that can make it dangerous to consume.

Connection: People usually ignore other points of view because they may be hurtful or inconvenient to them. Being blind to other opinions can make a person feel right and that can be reassuring to them.]]> 2017-02-11 20:45:32 UTC https://padlet.com/meaganholwerda97/8ud2bbi3inan/wish/153238771 meaganholwerda97 https://padlet.com/meaganholwerda97/8ud2bbi3inan/wish/153246599 Definition: Perception/observation is when we let our own experiences change how we perceive a situation or event. What we think is true might not be, it depends on how we observed the situation.

Connection: UFO sightings are commonly a trick of the eye or even a faulty memory. Peoples observations of the night sky can be misleading and not what they seem to be upon original perception.]]> 2017-02-12 01:29:42 UTC https://padlet.com/meaganholwerda97/8ud2bbi3inan/wish/153246599 meaganholwerda97 https://padlet.com/meaganholwerda97/8ud2bbi3inan/wish/153246627 Definition: Emotional connection is when we let our feelings and emotions cloud any logical thoughts or judgements. We believe in something because our emotions are telling us to believe in it.

Connection: It's not uncommon for people, especially the elderly and the vulnerable, to be tricked into giving psychics thousands of dollars. The psychics use emotional connections to trick these people, the most common way this is done is saying that a loved one that has passed over said that they needed to give X amount of money.]]> 2017-02-12 01:31:23 UTC https://padlet.com/meaganholwerda97/8ud2bbi3inan/wish/153246627 meaganholwerda97 https://padlet.com/meaganholwerda97/8ud2bbi3inan/wish/153246658 Definition: Ideologies are ideas that reflect a certain opinion, belief or action.
