The authority figure could be as simple as your parent or as high as a doctor. If one of these people says it is right or better, people tend to believe them.
Connections: In this toothpaste video a man in a white coat is posing to be a dentist and he is recommending using this fantastic Colgate toothpaste that is recommended by dentists. It shows Appeal to Authority because of the fact that an actor has put on a white coat acting like a dentist to advertise a product on TV. People will go to the store to buy it because they saw on TV that a dentist has recommended this product. ]]> 2017-09-30 15:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jmlentin/m2cpkqvkira4/wish/192682370 jmlentin https://padlet.com/jmlentin/m2cpkqvkira4/wish/192683736 Definition: Ancient wisdom happens when there is no scientific proof to back up and of the theories and methods the alternative medicine, rituals etc. It often originates from ancestors and that's how things were done 1000 years ago.

They only focus on what they believe and ignore everything else.
Connection: Healthcare workers believe that a full moon causes patients, clients and residents to act out of character and for a lack of better word "crazy". Both of us are healthcare workers and we fall under this Confirmation Bias, no matter what you tell the both of, they are still act a little nuts. That is the reason we chose this top because we both fall guilty of it.
