The Ancient Wisdom Red Flag refers to the background support in a claim being based on ancient findings, theories and practices. But just because something has been practised for hundreds and thousands of years doesn't mean it's correct or credible.
Connection:
The link below is a website on the history of Aromatherapy, which dates it back to 3500 B.C. Aromatherapy is the belief in use of smells to help a persons health or mood; it has no scientific evidence. ]]> 2017-02-10 01:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitiekat8/gunxkelw599g/wish/152958111 kaitiekat8 https://padlet.com/kaitiekat8/gunxkelw599g/wish/153339772 Definition:
Using irrelevant information that distracts the reader/listener and usually has little or nothing to do with the subject at hand. 
Connection:
This is the debate between Obama and Mitt Romney back in 2012. Both candidates detoured away from actually answering the question by bringing up other irrelevant (to the questions) points. The Red Herring is commonly used in politics. ]]> 2017-02-13 04:14:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitiekat8/gunxkelw599g/wish/153339772 kaitiekat8 https://padlet.com/kaitiekat8/gunxkelw599g/wish/153340731 Definition:
Many people will feel more inclined to believe things that are supported by people they think are credible figures of authority.
Connection:
Dr. Oz is my connection for appeal to authority because many people swear by his advice simply because he is a doctor, but a decent amount of his advice has actually been proven inaccurate. Such as his "miracle" diet pills. ]]> 2017-02-13 04:25:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitiekat8/gunxkelw599g/wish/153340731 kaitiekat8 https://padlet.com/kaitiekat8/gunxkelw599g/wish/153341364 Definiton:
There are just some things we don't know. The Reason for Belief Unexplained refers to the failure to provide a conclusion to a mystery. Things such as how the Pyramids were made, if there truly are aliens and whether or not ghosts are real are all unexplained.
Connection:
For years the Loch Ness monster has been rumoured to be seen. There have been many sightings and supposed photographs of the monster, but no hard cold evidence. Does this mean the Loch Ness monster isn't real? Not quite. We just don't have evidence right now. Here is a recent sighting reported by a government worker.]]> 2017-02-13 04:32:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitiekat8/gunxkelw599g/wish/153341364 kaitiekat8 https://padlet.com/kaitiekat8/gunxkelw599g/wish/153342312 Definition: Given support to a belief simply because it caters to your own person morality and ethics, not on actual evidence.
Connection:
In this article, Dr. Paul Connett gives 50 reasons as to why you should be opposed to fluoridation. The second argument listed is that it is unethical. The reason being is giving someone drugs without their knowledge or consent goes against traditional medical practices.

The reason for belief Patternicity is defined as seeing patterns or shapes in meaningless projections. 
Connection:
Many people experience patternicity when looking at clouds. They tend to form many different shapes and people believe that these shapes have deeper meaning when in actuality, they're just clouds. The picture attached is what appears to be a face in the clouds.]]> 2017-02-13 04:58:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitiekat8/gunxkelw599g/wish/153342979 kaitiekat8 https://padlet.com/kaitiekat8/gunxkelw599g/wish/153498575 Definition:
Pseudoscience is much easier to grasp than modern science. People will sometimes believe simplistic answers over complicated ones, due to their limited understanding. 
Connection:
Most people are familiar with the feeling of Deja vu. Although science does not have the exact answer as to why or how this happens, they do have some hypotheses'. One of which is the theory of cryptomnesia; this is when we unconsciously think a previous thought or memory in our subconscious is new, and present it as such. This is an answer to why Deja vu occurs...but the thought of already being there in a parallel universe cross-over, or being psychic is a much simpler answer to grasp for many.]]> 2017-02-13 17:19:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitiekat8/gunxkelw599g/wish/153498575 kaitiekat8 https://padlet.com/kaitiekat8/gunxkelw599g/wish/153507223 Definition:
Confirmation Bias is when one has selective thinking towards points that favour to their preexisting opinions.
Connection:
Thousands of people read their horoscopes daily, some swear by how accurate they are. But realistically, an average person could read any given horoscope, whether it be their sign or not, and they'll most likely find it applies to them even though it's not their zodiac sign. Below is an article debunking Astrology. ]]> 2017-02-13 17:45:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitiekat8/gunxkelw599g/wish/153507223
