Connection: The connection this article has to Pseudoscience in pop culture is because it covers the topic and use of emotional connection. Emotional connections can blur out rational thought, it triggers something in us that makes us have a deep connection to something or someone, the use of this in advertisements is not a new method but has definitely made more of an appearance in the 2010’s. More organizations use emotional connection to sell or gain a following to support their brand and just because they were able to strike a nerve that made people quickly believe they are a great company. A smart and sneaky way Pseudoscience makes its way into popular culture. ]]> 2019-11-26 02:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mariaheverest/u2mz606n547r/wish/416478207 mariaheverest https://padlet.com/mariaheverest/u2mz606n547r/wish/416481739

Connection: The connection this has to Pseudoscience is pop culture is because of the effect the Women’s March has had thought mainstream media.

Ideology also connects Pseudoscience and pop culture together because the people that attend or support the Women’s March all share the Sam set of ideas or beliefs. ]]> 2019-11-26 02:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mariaheverest/u2mz606n547r/wish/416481739 mariaheverest https://padlet.com/mariaheverest/u2mz606n547r/wish/416481788
1. I realized a lot though this topic, Pseudoscience does show up a lot in pop culture, it turns out it plays a big role in it. What I learned that most surprised me is how much our lesson on Psychology of Beliefs and Decision Making related to this topic, those posts were the most interesting to write about.

2. A real life example of how this topic relates to my life is how involved I am in popular culture. I keep up with allot of mainstream media which turns out involves a lot of Pseudoscience, for example my love for horror movies that deal with the supernatural.

3. The research I found most interesting was the witchcraft in pop culture, to find out that people that identify as witches actually enjoy the portrayal that they see in media like movies from time to time. I always find it interesting when finding out what the real life perspective thinks of the exaggerated form of it.

4. I am most likely to remember how the media uses Pseudoscience to its advantage, popular culture would not be as popular today without the use of ideology, talk of the supernatural, emotional connection etc.

5. Course content I think is most harmful is our lecture on Psychology of Beliefs and Decision Making, I think what we learned that week is important and showed how the thought process of some can impact not only themselves but those around them. It was content with evidence standing behind it and something that is harmful meaning it’s too important not know what comes along with some of the beliefs. The content I think is least harmful is anything supernatural, I look at that content as something fun to look into, there is no solid facts behind it and it’s just an interesting topic of conversation and entertainment.

6. If I could pass on knowledge from this on to a family or friend I would pass on the knowledge of red flags, how to spot them, what they mean and the harm in them. Red flags come up in media all the time and for friends and family members my age that is something we are connected to on a daily basis and I think it be helpful to recognize  the red flags we learned throughout this course.
