DEFINITION:
The Patternicity red flag is defined simply as the error of seeing something that is not really there, or the tendency to see meaningful patterns in meaningless noise.

CONNECTION:
The video below shows and explains the photograph taken of Mars and the image many believe is a human face. The video explains how we are tricked into believing it is a human face, however with explanations  that shadows and formations are playing tricks on our perception of the image creating the red flag of patternicity. We as humans want to believe there is more life other than the life on earth and we look to believe when and where we can.]]> 2017-02-11 15:08:34 UTC https://padlet.com/gail_ogden/pn9in2q8ewx2/wish/153223135 gail_ogden https://padlet.com/gail_ogden/pn9in2q8ewx2/wish/153224660
DEFINITION:
Appeal to authority is celebrity endorsements, lab coats, fancy degrees or certifications which are all distractions that point to the impressiveness of a product or the claimant, not the truth of the claim.

CONNECTION:
The photo below demonstrates appeal to authority in utilizing Mark Wahlberg and Justin Bieber to promote an underwear brand. Usage of their images creates the perception that if males were to buy their underwear brand they too can look like these celebrities. ]]> 2017-02-11 15:41:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gail_ogden/pn9in2q8ewx2/wish/153224660 gail_ogden https://padlet.com/gail_ogden/pn9in2q8ewx2/wish/153226157
DEFINITION:
A red flag is a claim of All Natural, and that it is good for you. All natural does not mean that it is good for you, as many natural products can make you sick or kill you.

CONNECTION:
The website below is an article referring to such products and how we can protect ourselves. The claim for all natural products can divert people from actual products that are prescribed for their symptoms. Specifically this article advises for the weight loss industry and its products. "People who are overweight or obese are desperate to lose weight and vulnerable to snake oil salesmen pitching weight loss products," says Dr. Nissen. "Sadly, action may not get taken until there is a high-profile death." As far as the FDA knows, no one died after taking Slimming Beauty, but dangerous products often slide under the radar—until there's a disaster.]]> 2017-02-11 16:12:40 UTC https://padlet.com/gail_ogden/pn9in2q8ewx2/wish/153226157 gail_ogden https://padlet.com/gail_ogden/pn9in2q8ewx2/wish/153226790
DEFINITION:
Just because it is old doesn't make it right!. Science and our society has come a long way and to still believe in ancient beliefs keeps us in the stone age and is detrimental to human evolution. However these ancient Chinese traditions are used in conjunction with modern day medicine.

CONNECTION:
The video below is specifically about ancient wisdom regarding Chinese medicine and its use in modern day, modern medicine. Integrating our knowledge today about medicine with technology and the ancient wisdom of China is demonstrated in this video. People are at peace with customs and those beliefs passed down through the generations. Many elderly find modern medicine more acceptable when packaged with traditional beliefs.

DEFINITION:
The red flag Suppression by Authority can be found often in government cover ups, to suppress information from the public for the governments own benefit.

CONNECTION:
September 11, 2001 has been at the centre of controversy and there are movies , articles and documentaries about the conspiracy theory of 9/11. Covering up facts and that may attribute to the governments ambitions to create such an atrocity is demonstrated in the short video below. ]]> 2017-02-11 16:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gail_ogden/pn9in2q8ewx2/wish/153227536 gail_ogden https://padlet.com/gail_ogden/pn9in2q8ewx2/wish/153229043 ...
DEFINITION:
Energy, a mystical force unique to living beings. Red flag for Mystical Energy...if a product claims this, replace or omit the word energy. Does the claim still make sense?

CONNECTION:
Linked here below is a website with various crystal jewelry and bracelets, claiming to have mystical energy or powers. The claim that these bracelets contain a mystical power for healing sounds unlikely. Other bracelets offer such things as balance, health, energy and much more. People believe in them and the effect of just wearing the jewelry makes them feel calmer, at peace and spiritual. The need to believe in something and feel empowered is evident from the psychological effect they have on the people that continue to wear the products.]]> 2017-02-11 17:12:23 UTC https://padlet.com/gail_ogden/pn9in2q8ewx2/wish/153229043 gail_ogden https://padlet.com/gail_ogden/pn9in2q8ewx2/wish/153229664
DEFINITION: Ancient wisdom is pre-Christian knowledge and beliefs. When people use this as a plus side to a product especially a health product it could be deadly as some patients may be persuaded to not opt for the prescription modern medicine that is actually proven.

DEFINITION:

Some ideas are logical, for example Rosa Parks against racism. Other ideas are illogical, like terrorism and extremists.

CONNECTION:
The video below demonstrates how newly elected President Donald Trump wishes to create a screening test for new immigrants in order to uncover the ways in which they think and their ideological support beliefs. His belief is that the borders of the United States could be protected by such a test or practices for immigrants. The test would weed out extremists, terrorists and particularly, Islamic and Isis followers.]]> 2017-02-11 17:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/gail_ogden/pn9in2q8ewx2/wish/153230324 gail_ogden https://padlet.com/gail_ogden/pn9in2q8ewx2/wish/153234241 2017-02-11 19:01:52 UTC https://padlet.com/gail_ogden/pn9in2q8ewx2/wish/153234241
