We now know that it is illogical to believe that ancient civilizations knew more about science than scientists today.

Object:  Blood letting is an example of ancient wisdom. These medical professionals believed that draining blood from a sick person would cure their illness. We now know that this is unsafe and untrue.

Using these people makes people believe that this product is 100% authentic and good because a celebrity or a person in a lab coat uses it.

Object: This weight loss company uses Kim Kardashian to advertise their pills in order to sell more product. They advertise them as Kim Kardashians weight loss pills when in reality, she most likely does not use these pills. ]]> 2018-03-05 23:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_swanston14/c4trid4l3uke/wish/238398474 emily_swanston14 https://padlet.com/emily_swanston14/c4trid4l3uke/wish/238398554 Definition: When we as humans only listen to information we want to hear, this is known as confirmation bias. This information confirms out biases and helps us strengthen out beliefs.

Object: An example of confirmation bias is prayer. If 5 people got sick and each one of them was prayed for and 3 out of the 5 people died but 2 survived, everyone would say that the prayer worked on saving these 2 people. This confirms their beliefs on prayer. ]]> 2018-03-05 23:45:49 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_swanston14/c4trid4l3uke/wish/238398554 emily_swanston14 https://padlet.com/emily_swanston14/c4trid4l3uke/wish/238398816 Definition: The red flag all natural means that everything that is natural and comes from the earth is healthy for you. This is untrue and should not be believed because plenty of all natural things can kill people and animals.

Object: Anthrax is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria bacillus anthracis. This infection occurs naturally in the world and can be life threatening in left untreated. This infectious disease is proof that not everything grown naturally from the earth is healthy and good for you. ]]> 2018-03-05 23:47:40 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_swanston14/c4trid4l3uke/wish/238398816 emily_swanston14 https://padlet.com/emily_swanston14/c4trid4l3uke/wish/238399109 Definition: the red flag confusion of causation with correlation is defined as one thing happening, which then leads to something else happening when in reality neither of the events are related to each other.

Object: this graph shows both the increase of ice cream sales and the increase in murders in the span of three months. This graph implies that because ice cream sales are increasing, more people are being murdered. Anyone can look and see that the increase of ice cream sales and consumption cannot lead to the increase of murders.]]> 2018-03-05 23:49:30 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_swanston14/c4trid4l3uke/wish/238399109 emily_swanston14 https://padlet.com/emily_swanston14/c4trid4l3uke/wish/238399135 Definition: When humans strive to find meaningful patterns in everyday objects and nature, it is known as patternicity.

Object: in this image there is a cluster of clouds in the shape of a mans face. We know this is a cluster of clouds, but as humans, we strive to find a meaning in everything there is. While looking at these clouds, we wonder what this face means and if there is more out there. ]]> 2018-03-05 23:49:41 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_swanston14/c4trid4l3uke/wish/238399135 emily_swanston14 https://padlet.com/emily_swanston14/c4trid4l3uke/wish/238399182 Definition: As humans, when something happens that has no explanation yet, we try our best to come up with an explanation so nothing is left unexplained.

Object: Criss angel is a well known magician known for his absurd tricks. We as viewers are unsure of how he performs his tricks, but we continue to believe them because there is no other explanation. In this photo he is making a woman levitate. We know she isnt actually levitating, but there is no other explanation other than magic. ]]> 2018-03-05 23:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_swanston14/c4trid4l3uke/wish/238399182 emily_swanston14 https://padlet.com/emily_swanston14/c4trid4l3uke/wish/238399200 Definition:  Humans often assign meaning to "beings" such as aliens, angels and demons. people believe that these beings often control things on earth.

Object: When crop circles appear in farmers fields, aliens are the first suspects. It is hard to suspect humans have the ability to create these extravagant formations, so alien ufo's must be the reason. ]]> 2018-03-05 23:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_swanston14/c4trid4l3uke/wish/238399200 emily_swanston14 https://padlet.com/emily_swanston14/c4trid4l3uke/wish/238439613 2018-03-06 03:21:18 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_swanston14/c4trid4l3uke/wish/238439613
