Connection:
I used this humorous comic to show how people blindly listen and trust ancient wisdom or ways. Sometimes no matter how odd they seem or unusual. "Who are we to question the ancient wisdom".]]> 2018-10-08 01:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sharon44nanninga/md7rvmx44jy9/wish/290108321 sharon44nanninga https://padlet.com/sharon44nanninga/md7rvmx44jy9/wish/290108335 Define:  The idea that Energy is more then just measured substance in science, that it can heal us and be read by psych's or felt by others.
 
Connection:
The website of the moon power is only one example of mystical energy, that people choose to believe in for its healing power or calming properties. People are misguided into thinking the moon has harness able energy fields, and that people do as well. ]]> 2018-10-08 01:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sharon44nanninga/md7rvmx44jy9/wish/290108335 sharon44nanninga https://padlet.com/sharon44nanninga/md7rvmx44jy9/wish/290108340 Define: The Use of Authoritative props, uniforms, language, etc. to manipulate any given audience.

Connection:
The connection between this image and appeal to authority is the use of uniform, stats, and dentist equipment in the background. they use this to give the look of authority and make you trust the commercial and buy their product, in this case toothpaste. In most cases they use actors, and exaggerated stats and information to manipulate the consumer]]> 2018-10-08 01:00:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sharon44nanninga/md7rvmx44jy9/wish/290108340 sharon44nanninga https://padlet.com/sharon44nanninga/md7rvmx44jy9/wish/290108345 Define:  information that is usually used to distract someone from the original question. A lot of useless info unrelated to the topic to appear as though it is useful, or to change topics.

Connection:
I used Trump as my connection because he is famous for being a professional at the red herring method of avoiding topics. In this video they have compiled different times in press conferences and meeting with the public where he completely avoids or changes the subject to not answer specific questions or to distract his crowd.]]> 2018-10-08 01:00:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sharon44nanninga/md7rvmx44jy9/wish/290108345 sharon44nanninga https://padlet.com/sharon44nanninga/md7rvmx44jy9/wish/290108354 Define: Its the idea that all natural things are better for you then not. for example Poison ivy, and poison oak are natural plants... but is still poisonous and can cause someone harm. But also some plants are healthy for us and safe, like Aloe Vera plants, they can help with healing.
 
Connection:
I choose this website because it lined up with my own definition and gives more examples and used a credible source for their information. This site also points out he fact that not all "natural" products are bad, but that producers use the words natural to get consumers interest, and not always for the right reasons. Producers may make more money on a product that isn't good for someone but because its a natural product people will buy it.]]> 2018-10-08 01:01:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sharon44nanninga/md7rvmx44jy9/wish/290108354 sharon44nanninga https://padlet.com/sharon44nanninga/md7rvmx44jy9/wish/290108739 Define: Emotions are what drive a humans thought process, and decision making, which sometimes causes bias outcomes or irrational beliefs.

Connection:
I used a photo of someone holding a Cardinal for this connection, because there is a theory that if you see a cardinal its a deceased loved one coming to visit you. This is emotional connection because even if it may or may not be true we are emotionally connected to our loved ones and want to believe its true. This theory is also similar to the butterfly one with the same idea behind it.]]> 2018-10-08 01:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sharon44nanninga/md7rvmx44jy9/wish/290108739 sharon44nanninga https://padlet.com/sharon44nanninga/md7rvmx44jy9/wish/290108796 Define: Humans are pattern seeking individuals in our everyday lives. Whether it be seeing things that aren't real or making things into faces or shapes.

Connection:
People see what they want to see. some will see the face in the ice cubes. others will not. This connection could also depend on each individuals state of mind and how they process what they see. ]]> 2018-10-08 01:04:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sharon44nanninga/md7rvmx44jy9/wish/290108796 sharon44nanninga https://padlet.com/sharon44nanninga/md7rvmx44jy9/wish/290108842 Define: Ideas or theories that are bias or cater to ones social views or groupings. Ie political, cultural, religious, or social opinions that are not science based.

Connection:
my connection is a photo of a group in a church. I used a church group because its a gathering of different people who all believe in one thing and share their opinion and cultural beliefs together.
