For example, if a dentist recommends a certain type of toothpaste, chances are, people will look to buy that specific brand of toothpaste because an authoritative figure said so.

Connection: This advertisement represents an Appeal to Authority red flag because of it's recommendation by doctors. By using the words "studies have shown", the authorities, doctors, are giving off the impression that soda should be drank from a young age. However, the amount of sugar within soda is extremely high and would actually be unsafe for a young infant to consume.]]> 2018-03-05 20:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/zakhtar1202/jugvkjamd5jg/wish/238331455 zakhtar1202 https://padlet.com/zakhtar1202/jugvkjamd5jg/wish/238416095 Definition: The Red Herring red flag means that one party in the conversation will attempt to deter the other party by deliberately changing the topic of the initial conversation. For example, Michelle and I are having a conversation about potato chips. Michelle asks me why I don't like potato chips. I begin to talk about basketball, which then abandons the conversation about potato chips.

Connection: In this episode of Family Guy, two candidates are running for mayor. They hold a press conference for the public to ask questions. The red herring red flag is used here because they deter the audience by discussing issues that are more appealing to them, versus their initial question.]]> 2018-03-06 01:19:12 UTC https://padlet.com/zakhtar1202/jugvkjamd5jg/wish/238416095 zakhtar1202 https://padlet.com/zakhtar1202/jugvkjamd5jg/wish/238422274 Definition: The Confirmation Bias is the idea of latching on to facts to confirm the legitimacy of a certain statement or fact. For example, if I think that someone is a liar, I will look for any clue to convince me that indeed that person is a liar.

Connection: This Powerade advertisement has a Confirmation Bias red flag in this because it's trying to convince you that Powerade is a complete solution to your thirst by putting scientific claims in there and pushing your mind to confirm the facts.]]> 2018-03-06 01:46:55 UTC https://padlet.com/zakhtar1202/jugvkjamd5jg/wish/238422274 zakhtar1202 https://padlet.com/zakhtar1202/jugvkjamd5jg/wish/238425468 Definition: The Suppressed by Authorities red flag gives the idea that larger corporations, such as the government, are hiding the cures or solutions to large problems. Or, they are failing to address situations at hand.

Connection: The mass shooting in Florida sparked a national out roar on current gun laws by a large amount of people all over the United States. I believe that the gun laws are being suppressed by the government. They have the power to change the gun laws. But why would they, when the President receives $30 Million from the National Rifle Associate every year?]]> 2018-03-06 02:01:53 UTC https://padlet.com/zakhtar1202/jugvkjamd5jg/wish/238425468 zakhtar1202 https://padlet.com/zakhtar1202/jugvkjamd5jg/wish/238426974 Definition: The Proof by Verbosity red flag represents an overload of information. It shows that the quantity of something is more valuable than the quality of it. For example, banks use verbosity by using bank jargon in their contracts and loan agreements. Not many people would read each word in a 10 page document, so they agree with the bank because they believe that the bank would not put so much time and effort into something if it weren't true.

Connection: Proof by Verbosity is used in this article because it shows how credit card companies use long winded agreements to coerce the buyer into agreeing on something they don't fully understand. This connects the two together by showing that banks and creditors follow this red flag with a very well used product: credit cards.]]> 2018-03-06 02:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/zakhtar1202/jugvkjamd5jg/wish/238426974 zakhtar1202 https://padlet.com/zakhtar1202/jugvkjamd5jg/wish/238433959 Definition: Patternicity occurs when one begins to see certain patterns within objects they carry or use on a daily basis.

Connection: Patternicity is seen in these bell peppers. It connects because you see disgruntled faces within these bell peppers, knowing you are about cut it up and eat it.]]> 2018-03-06 02:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/zakhtar1202/jugvkjamd5jg/wish/238433959 zakhtar1202 https://padlet.com/zakhtar1202/jugvkjamd5jg/wish/238435617 Definition: Simplicity is defined as taking the simplest explanation in comparison to tough scientific explanations.

Connection: Simplicity is defined in this video by people's willingness to do meaningful yet simple things. ]]> 2018-03-06 02:58:56 UTC https://padlet.com/zakhtar1202/jugvkjamd5jg/wish/238435617 zakhtar1202 https://padlet.com/zakhtar1202/jugvkjamd5jg/wish/238441117 2018-03-06 03:30:39 UTC https://padlet.com/zakhtar1202/jugvkjamd5jg/wish/238441117 zakhtar1202 https://padlet.com/zakhtar1202/jugvkjamd5jg/wish/238442042 Definition: Emotional Connection is the ability to persuade yourself to believe in something because you have an emotional connection to it. For example, you may have an emotional connection to your grandma who recently passed away. Therefore, you may still believe her spirit is around you due to that connection.

Connection: This video relates to Emotional Connection to women. This could lead you to believe that that women is in love with you because of the emotional connection you hold with her.]]> 2018-03-06 03:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/zakhtar1202/jugvkjamd5jg/wish/238442042
