Ideology is a set of beliefs, especially one held by a particular group, that influences the way people behave.

The definition of red herrings Irrelevant information that distracts without addressing facts.

Connection: This video is a prime example of a red herring, it shows how both Mayor West and Louis Griffin both deviate from the concerns of the people by keeping their statements short and talking about something else to take their minds off of the issue at hand.]]> 2019-02-11 14:31:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicag4/Jessica99/wish/329871600 Post #5 Confirmation Bias jessicag4 https://padlet.com/jessicag4/Jessica99/wish/329871683   

The tendency to remember events that coincide with beliefs, and ignore or forget those that don't. Confirmation bias is one of the worst when it comes to sloppy-thinking offenders, in my opinion - one of the hardest for us to overcome. 

Connection: This picture proves that in todays society people look at themselves in certain ways and aren't happy with the way they look. Doing what is right for you and your body and considering your health should be top priority.

  • Define Problem:  What exactly is the problem? 
    • Are herbal medicines really healthy for you? 
    • Gather Information:  Look for evidence to support a claim.  Describe the source (website, video, article, picture, other), and describe the arguments for/against. 
    This article promotes and shows ways that herbal medicine are beneficial to ones health, Herbal medicines are known to be more productive in comparison to other forms of medications but has never scientifically proven or approved by a health organization .
    • Evaluate Evidence:  Is the source credible?  Is there proof?  Have the facts been checked?  Can the results be reproduced?  Has the scientific method been followed?
    There isn’t any real proof that all natural resources for medical use are reputable, the facts stated on the site that “No harmful side effects” will occur, which is a very bold statement because no two individuals are the same. It is possible for the results to be reproduced but its more of a 50/50 chance  
    •  Recognize Assumptions, Emotions, Biases:  What are the personal assumptions, emotions, and bias?  What are the potential impacts of the assumptions, emotions, and bias? 
    People don’t usually read what goes into a product as long as it is from a well reputable and trusted source like celebrity doctors or celebrities them self. When it comes to social media people have this see and want mind set that “it worked for others, it ill work for me”, impacts on his assumption typically ends up disappointing the individual, because this product didn’t work for them or it did just not as well as they thought. 
    • Synthesize Evidence, Identify Alternatives:  What are the alternative solutions?  Synthesize all findings to write clear and concise statements of alternative solutions.  Keep an open mind!
     Neglecting the label has and probably will be one of the most by passed piece information on a product, people usually look at a product and put their mind to having it not knowing if it will work or not, when it circulates around something concerning their health. 
    • Select Best Alternative:  Consider all alternative solutions (along with supporting evidence) and write a conclusion that selects the best alternative.  Make an informed choice!
    The best alternative is to READ YOUR LABELS and always makes sure you know what you are putting in your body. Don’t always listen to what you read or hear from others. it is better to do the research for yourself and ask a health practitioner if this product is right for you. Reading labels will not only save you money but may also save your health in the long run

    Unexplained belief is very persuasive for someone to believe. It gives person hopes that something either medically or religiously will work. The reason this is believed is because that one theory works with someone else but has not yet been proven by science. 

    Deja Vu is one form of an unexplained belief. Déjà vu is a brisk, stunning sensation of having already lived a totally identical situation in some undefined past.     ]]>     2019-02-11 23:01:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicag4/Jessica99/wish/330129792     Post #8- Reason for belief -Patternicity evelynkujian https://padlet.com/jessicag4/Jessica99/wish/330132178 The Patternicity red flag is defined simply as the error of seeing something that is not actually there.
