The Ancient Wisdom red flag is perpetuated by people believing that our ancient ancestors knew so much more than us and so much important information was lost to time and translation as the world progressed. It is considered a red flag because we have bettered ourselves so much from what people were like back then, abolishing things like slavery and witch hunts, and thinking critically about stories like that of crystal skulls.

Connection:
This picture demonstrates the Ancient Wisdom red flag because it is of a fictional woman named Annee Palmer, also known as the "White Witch of Rose Hall". Up until 2007, the story of this woman who married and killed three men, plus numerous of her own male slaves in the plantation days, was thought to be true but ended up being debunked, revealing that the legend was likely modeled around the title character of a novel, "The White Witch of Rose Hall" by Herbert G. de Lisser, published in 1929. Regardless of the story being fictional or not, the fact of the slavery and murder of countless Jamaican men and women in our past remains true, that does not demonstrate wisdom of any kind.]]> 2018-03-04 01:03:22 UTC https://padlet.com/swiffybird/pu17xj0irgb/wish/237745408 swiffybird https://padlet.com/swiffybird/pu17xj0irgb/wish/237746537 Definition:
The All Natural red flag is all about people thinking if something is natural, it must be healthy and good for you. This is a misconception because many, many naturally occurring things are very bad for human consumption, some more deadly than others.

Connection:
This picture demontrates the All Natural red flag because, while mercury is a naturally occurring element, it is highly toxic to humans, through prolonged exposure to even just the fumes. The Alice in Wonderland character was based off this occurrence as hat makers (or "hatters") would experience muscular tremors and twitching, hallucinations and distorted vision.]]> 2018-03-04 01:32:03 UTC https://padlet.com/swiffybird/pu17xj0irgb/wish/237746537 swiffybird https://padlet.com/swiffybird/pu17xj0irgb/wish/237746546 Definition:
The Ideological Support red flag comes from people forming an opinion around topics such as whether vaccines are good or bad, and whether modern medicine is witchcraft and all can and should be healed by god. Both these opinions are scientifically and physically proven wrong by the world today, vaccines help to combat serious illnesses that have previously wiped out countless lives and going to the doctor can be the difference between thinking your child is possessed by a demon or if they have diabetes.

Connection:
This video demonstrates the Ideological Support red flag because while there were some strange goings on, like the hosts stated at the end, there was obviously some mental issues, possibly schizophrenia, and going to an actual doctor would have probably greatly helped this girl live. Her parents should have taken her to a medical doctor instead of having her exorcised 67 times, as that clearly was not helping much, if at all.]]> 2018-03-04 01:32:22 UTC https://padlet.com/swiffybird/pu17xj0irgb/wish/237746546 swiffybird https://padlet.com/swiffybird/pu17xj0irgb/wish/237746558 Definition:
The Confirmation Bias red flag occurs when someone starts to do research about a topic that may or may not be true and they, whether intentionally or not, only look at sources that confirm their opinion on the topic. This can often lead to the mass spread of misinformation if the first individual speaks about the topic en mass and credits that source, as many will assume the original person did their research and formed this opinion through looking at both sides

Connection:
This picture demonstrates the Confirmation Bias red flag because the comic shows that the triangles only pay attention to the squares that fit their stereotype, even while there are many squares of varying colours beside them. ]]> 2018-03-04 01:32:42 UTC https://padlet.com/swiffybird/pu17xj0irgb/wish/237746558 swiffybird https://padlet.com/swiffybird/pu17xj0irgb/wish/237746585 Definition:
The Red Herring red flag is when the  the legitimacy of an opinion or statement is questioned and someone who shares this opinion or statement goes on to make statements that don't actually relate to the topic itself. The audience may be duped into sharing this opinion for no actual reason having to do with the topic.
Connection:
This video demonstrates the Red Herring red flag because this lawyer talks about Chewbacca, something completely unrelated to his client's case, and ends up winning the case. This based upon actual events that transpired at an O. J. Simpson trial, where the lawyer did something similar to this.]]> 2018-03-04 01:33:16 UTC https://padlet.com/swiffybird/pu17xj0irgb/wish/237746585 swiffybird https://padlet.com/swiffybird/pu17xj0irgb/wish/237746600 Definition:
The Patternicity reason for belief is that we try to find meaning in things we see in the world.

Connection:
This picture demonstrates the Patternicity reason for belief because, from the beginning of time, we have used the stars to navigate the world and created constellations out of simple dots of light in the night sky, naming them and giving them stories. We've even created a whole religion out of some of the constellations. ]]> 2018-03-04 01:33:49 UTC https://padlet.com/swiffybird/pu17xj0irgb/wish/237746600 swiffybird https://padlet.com/swiffybird/pu17xj0irgb/wish/237746618 Definition:
The Unexplained reason for belief is when we accept something we can't explain because there has to be a reason for it, so the one we see in front of us or think of ourselves is the one we accept.

Connection:
This video demonstrates the Unexplained reason for belief because people have come up with many theories as to what happened to Amelia Earhart because no one actually knows the answer. We all have an insatiable curiosity for the unknown so we try to come up with the answers to which we have none.]]> 2018-03-04 01:34:24 UTC https://padlet.com/swiffybird/pu17xj0irgb/wish/237746618 swiffybird https://padlet.com/swiffybird/pu17xj0irgb/wish/237746620 Definition:
The Agenticity reason for belief is when people put faith and meaning into beings who don't have a corporeal form, such as Aliens, Angels and God. Some believe in one, but not the other, some believe in none of these "beings".

Connection:
This video the demonstrates Agenticity reason for belief because these people truly believe that they were abducted and experimented upon by aliens. Whether this is true or not is currently unknown, and that fact may never be known, in general or at least in our lifetimes.]]> 2018-03-04 01:34:32 UTC https://padlet.com/swiffybird/pu17xj0irgb/wish/237746620 swiffybird https://padlet.com/swiffybird/pu17xj0irgb/wish/237746671 2018-03-04 01:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/swiffybird/pu17xj0irgb/wish/237746671
