There is no perfect ‘antidote’, I am interested in the output of your brainstorming here.
a)     The availability heuristic 
b)     The anchoring and adjustment heuristic 
c)      Confirmation bias

What are possible consequences for individuals and society when media sources communicate news stories in a manner that demonstrates attributional biases? gemmagordon https://padlet.com/gemmagordon/elr9zueqy7h3wamw/wish/1787989066 2021-10-03 21:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gemmagordon/elr9zueqy7h3wamw/wish/1787989066 4. Global statistics are hard to formulate on this issue, but for the sake of argument let’s take the following estimates. Your odds of being kidnapped as a child were roughly 1/300,000. To put that in perspective, the odds that you'll choke to death in your lifetime are around 1/3,400. If parents or guardians warned you about being kidnapped (or frequently fretted about the possibility), do you think that they were succumbing to any systematic errors in thinking? If so, why? gemmagordon https://padlet.com/gemmagordon/elr9zueqy7h3wamw/wish/1787989067 2021-10-03 21:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gemmagordon/elr9zueqy7h3wamw/wish/1787989067 Response: gemmagordon https://padlet.com/gemmagordon/elr9zueqy7h3wamw/wish/1787989068 2021-10-03 21:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gemmagordon/elr9zueqy7h3wamw/wish/1787989068 Response: gemmagordon https://padlet.com/gemmagordon/elr9zueqy7h3wamw/wish/1787989070 2021-10-03 21:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gemmagordon/elr9zueqy7h3wamw/wish/1787989070 Response: gemmagordon https://padlet.com/gemmagordon/elr9zueqy7h3wamw/wish/1787989071 2021-10-03 21:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gemmagordon/elr9zueqy7h3wamw/wish/1787989071 Response: gemmagordon https://padlet.com/gemmagordon/elr9zueqy7h3wamw/wish/1787989072 2021-10-03 21:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gemmagordon/elr9zueqy7h3wamw/wish/1787989072
