Is someone who favours information that supports there own beliefs instead of solid information that contradicts there beliefs. 

Connection:      
 In the comic strip below it demonstrates someone looking up research online and the person finding information that agrees with the persons own belief about the topic. The picture is an accurate representation of the red flag Confirmation Bias they were only looking up information that supported there own beliefs instead of accurate information about the topic. The flaw with this is that instead of going off of actual facts people choose to believe there own ideas even if there wrong and cause problems. ]]> 2019-02-04 18:36:06 UTC https://padlet.com/alysha_hester/bo4tnluqwa3z/wish/327465884 alysha_hester https://padlet.com/alysha_hester/bo4tnluqwa3z/wish/327466570 Definition: 
Red Herring can be defined as a way of distracting from going forth with information that has proof by diverting peoples attention with a piece of information that has absolutely no relevance to the original topic. 

Connection:
This video from Family Guy demonstrates the red flag, Red Herring showing two candidates running for election and are answering the peoples questions. One of the candidates though tries to use the persons question and his right to ask the question to divert and get there vote. A flaw with Red Herring is that people choose to side with the person who is trying to divert the attention from the important topic which is the issues and how the candidates plan to deal with them.

It is defined as a way of using authoritative images such as someone in a lab coat presented to look like someone who people can trust or believe in towards a product such as medications. 

Connection:  
In this video they are going over all their evidence in regards to the Vaccines and how they 'supposedly' cause autism. There is no physical evidence of these beliefs. We see no physical evidence we are taking these supposedly "Officials" words. People dressed as important figures are trying to pass off vaccines as a dangerous way of causing Autism in children. They are trying to use the appeal to authority to there own advantage to get what they want. People are deciding that All Natural is a better way of going about things and putting their own beliefs above scientific facts about the Vaccination phenomena.

It can be defined as an event similar to one that has followed another event and assuming that the event had happened as a consequential response from the previous event that had happened. 

Connection: 
The video from the show Friends shows Joey trying to fix his broken fridge. Once his roommate comes out he tries to get her to buy a new fridge by accusing her that the fridge broke because of her moving in. Claiming that his parents bought the fridge just after he was born and was working fine until she moved in with him. This clip is a perfect demonstration of the red flag Confusion of Caustation and Correlation.

There are things in this world that can not be explained even when our brains try to comprehend what is happening we are not always able to explain what is going on.

Connection: 
Below is a website of a documentary about places that are haunted. People most associate Unexplained belief with ghosts because it is something our minds cannot wrap the idea around, of another life after death.  The documentary connects to the description of Unexplained because even though people use there paranormal devices such as EMF hunter, Audio Amplifier it is a topic that often has a lot of skeptical attitude doubting the belief of paranormal entities.                               ]]> 2019-02-04 18:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/alysha_hester/bo4tnluqwa3z/wish/327469085 alysha_hester https://padlet.com/alysha_hester/bo4tnluqwa3z/wish/327469950 Definition:
Strong emotions can make our thoughts and the reasons we do the things that we do obscure and blurred so we are unable to properly make rational choices. 

Connection:  
The picture below shows most common emotional connections that can be established. 
A flaw with emotional connection is that our emotions can be very strong and make our brains blur our rational thoughts resulting in negative actions.

People like to add meaning or intentions to theoretical beings that have no proof of existence such as angels, UFO's and conspiracy's. 

Connection:
Below is a video about a UFO story. This man has never had a UFO experience before. But when in Thailand he had an experience of a light coming through his window and forming a ball of light in his room.  There are many reasons this incident could be misconstrued as an alien interaction when there are many other things that could be that ball of light. Confirmation Bias plays a part in this too because he may be retelling events from a perspective that he wants to or does believe in. The flaw with this is that there is no other concrete evidence that such thing happened there is no picture or recording of the experience. ]]> 2019-02-04 18:44:23 UTC https://padlet.com/alysha_hester/bo4tnluqwa3z/wish/327470507 alysha_hester https://padlet.com/alysha_hester/bo4tnluqwa3z/wish/327471151 I chose to evaluate the  video Electroconvulsive therapy is back.

Define the problem:
These scientists are trying electrocuting people to see if it can cure mental illness. The results are not always successful

Gather Information:
The story is on a website (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/long_reads/electroconvulsive-therapy-is-back-but-is-it-worth-the-risk-a8084631.html) It is an article about how some doctors are continuing research with Electrocution of the brain to see if it can cure mental illness.  It goes into a historical background about the information as well. In past research some of the patients had been left unable to feed themselves or with broken bones. In the Neurologists experiments many schizophrenics had walked away somewhat better but there were some patients that had not been so lucky they were left with significant memory loss. There success rate was 60 -90% Some reports from patients say that some people saw no difference with the treatments. 

Evaluate Evidence: 
With all the information gathered it is a controversial issue even  in todays society how would electrical surges help the brain to help heal mental illness. Many of their patients though were people who suffered with Schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety. The experiments performed back then are all a credible source for the information that Neurologist Ugo Cerletti used and where many others look for there's. With Ugo Cerletti's experiment he had tried to reproduce the same results but those results had resulted in negative outcomes. The trial had resulted in the first five steps than had run into a problem with the outcome. Once they had re-evaluated their experiment they had finally accomplished the steps of the scientific method. 

Recognize Assumptions, Emotions, Biases:
Many people disproved of the experiment. It was known and practiced all around the world. It had gone from a supervised experiment to one that had created a negative image on the topic.  

Synthesize Evidence, Identify Alternative : 
Alternative solution 1: They should terminate the experiment altogether.  
Alternative solution 2: Use a less damaging technique for the brain so there are no long term consequences. 

Select Best Alternative: 
Therefore i conclude that Using Electrocution as a form of therapy is not safe to conduct in today's society there are damaging long term effects of the brain. ]]> 2019-02-04 18:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/alysha_hester/bo4tnluqwa3z/wish/327471151 alysha_hester https://padlet.com/alysha_hester/bo4tnluqwa3z/wish/329413575 Definition: 
Ancient Wisdom can be defined as beliefs, knowledge, and a philosophy that dates centuries back in time and used centuries later as a reliable source of information. It is like saying since people back then used this so it must be okay to do so now. 

Connection:
This website is connected to ancient wisdom because they are testing practices that were once used years ago today. Medical electric shock was a type of therapy performed in hospitals on patients it was once used negatively on people. In this website there were trying to prove that they could induce a seizure that would help the patient with mental illness. It is skeptical that this should be done again in this time of age because medical professionals from a century ago had used it negatively on patients in insane asylums. The flaw with this is that they are testing on people and it does not always have positive results such as people having some memory problems
