Opinion- I do believe that conspiracy theories are out there to gain attention.]]> 2017-03-21 21:09:46 UTC https://padlet.com/aalonso31/tmu8ggkypdby/wish/161662847 Why do Some people believe in conspiracy theories? aalonso31 https://padlet.com/aalonso31/tmu8ggkypdby/wish/161664308 https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-do-some-people-believe-in-conspiracy-theories/

Words:Paul is Dead, The CIA and AIDS, Fake Moon Landing
Summary:Theorists have even suggested that filmmaker Stanley Kubrick may have helped NASA fake the first lunar landing, given that his 1968 film 2001: A Space Odessey proves that the technology existed back then to artificially create a spacelike set. And as for Virgil I.
Opinion-These are the most popular conspiracy theories.]]> 2017-03-21 21:27:13 UTC https://padlet.com/aalonso31/tmu8ggkypdby/wish/161665690 Conspiracy Theory aalonso31 https://padlet.com/aalonso31/tmu8ggkypdby/wish/161666450 http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Conspiracy_theory

Summary-In a recent paper published in Political Psychology by myself from Staffordshire University and Karen Douglas and Robbie Sutton from the University of Kent, we found that conspiracy theories might be a way that people can maintain favourable attitudes towards society when the social system may be under threat. In other words, conspiracy theories may sometimes bolster rather than undermine support for the social status quo when its legitimacy is threatened.
Opinion- I believe that this is a credible source because of the stats it gives.

Summary-Right after John F. Kennedy was assassinated, about 52 percent of people thought there was some kind of conspiracy at play, according to polls at the time. Of course, this was the dark ages of the 1960s, before you could just tap your iPhone and instantly find thorough debunkings of the conspiracy theories and dead simple explanations of things like the "magic bullet."

Legalized abortion is a genocidal scheme to wipe out black people. Even though African Americans make up 13 percent of the population, the vast majority of abortion clinics are in minority communities, and 50 percent of all black fetuses are aborted. As a pro-life billboard posted earlier this year in Georgia put it, "Black Children Are an Endangered Species."]]> 2017-04-19 14:19:45 UTC https://padlet.com/aalonso31/tmu8ggkypdby/wish/167023056 History's greatest conspiracy aalonso31 https://padlet.com/aalonso31/tmu8ggkypdby/wish/167023469 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/03/16/historys-greatest-conspiracy-theories/

Keywords:Scandal, male prostitutes, gay priests
Summary:Scandal is threatening to eclipse the poignancy and pageantry of Benedict XVI's historic final days as pope.
Vatican officials were already trying Monday to swat down unsavory claims by Italian publications of a brewing episode involving gay priests, male prostitutes and blackmail when news broke that Benedict had moved up the resignation of a Scottish archbishop linked over the weekend by a British newspaper to inappropriate relationships with priests.
Opinion- Its up to them what they want to believe in. I know religion has a huge influence on society.

Love Jihad', a religious conversion racket which lures gullible girls by feigning love, has brought rivals Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Christian groups in Kerala together.
The two have decided to join hands to combat the ''social evil'', which they claim is hitting their respective communities hard.
