Connection: This article indicates Suppression by Authorities by stating that our cell phones listen to our everyday conversations. This benefits social media apps such as Instagram and Facebook for the purpose of advertisements as one scrolls through their feed. For example, someone is talking to their friend about a shirt they want, and they see that exact shirt on an ad as their scrolling, without searching up the shirt in any way. These companies deny these rumors, but millions of people worldwide say otherwise. It also makes one think, if these social media accounts can hear my conversations, the government can as well.

Connection: Yes, the example used is a family guy skit, but it is extremely relevant to the Red Herring red flag. Mayor of Quahog, Adam West spent tax payers money on a useless golden statue for the town, and the citizens were not to happy with it. To distract the townspeople from the statue, Mayor West put a ban on gay marriage, which drew the towns attention and they forgot about the statue.

Connection: This article is stating that ancient Chinese medical and biological practices were not as accurate as they thought. Scientists have stated that ancient Chinese wisdom was in fact detrimental to ones health. The article also states that biologically, ancient Chinese wisdom was also false. People tend to think that if something has been practiced for thousands of years, it must work. Which is not the case in all circumstances such as the Chinese' take on Ancient Wisdom.

Connection: The video is of a dentist recommending Sensodyne toothpaste, and he states why he recommends it. This will make people buy Sensodyne toothpaste, strictly because they watched a commercial of someone in a dress shirt, tie and a lab coat suggesting that the viewers buy this toothpaste.

Connection: The article shows a cop doing good. In my opinion, the media loves targeting police officers and critiquing them with a fine tooth comb. The same people tend to ignore all the good gestures cops have done and continue to do everyday all around North America. They tend to only voice the negative, and never the positive.

Connection: When someone sees a cross they think of Jesus Christ. Though they can't see Jesus, they believe that he died for our sins without any visible proof of his existence.

Connection: The picture shows a pepper that has been cut in half, but the first thing you notice is its character. It almost has a sort of joker smile. This is an example of a meaningless pattern that we see right away. ]]> 2019-02-01 22:01:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nick_markou97/wsj0eda2dwcw/wish/326892943 nick_markou97 https://padlet.com/nick_markou97/wsj0eda2dwcw/wish/326895491 Definition: Letting ones emotions get in the way of their rational thinking.

Connection: The video shows a case of road rage. All this happened because someone was angry and was not thinking rationally about their actions and the consequences. Because of this persons negligence, their was a pile up on a highway. This is a perfect example of emotional connections out of anger

Gather Information: The article states that according to Chinese medical practices, puss was a good thing and it was a sign of healing. Science has proven pus to be a sign of infection, and is in fact not a good thing by any means. The Chinese also did not know that loss of blood was detrimental to ones health.

Evaluate Evidence: The article below states that pus is the leading sign of an infection, and in no circumstance is a sign of healing
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/249182.php
Now-a-days, it is common knowledge to know that a loss of blood is a bad things. It can lead to severe health issues and can result in death in severe cases.

Recognize Assumptions, Emotions, and Biases:
Though some Ancient Chinese medical practices do work, the Chinese did assume majority of their practices, like all ancient practices. Today, we have the technology to know what is bad for your health and what is good for your health. It is safe to say that all Ancient medical pratices, were in fact assumptions.

Synthesize Evidence, Analyze Solutions: Some other solutions I could think of are that information got misinterpreted, or misused throughout the years, and maybe ancient medicine was not as wrong as it is proven to be.

Best Alternative: I do think it is very possible that teachings and practices have been misconstrued over thousands of years. I do think that some ancient medical practices are very helpful and good for your health. I also think that some medical practices are horribly wrong, like the Chinese practice of puss being a sign of healing. Thousands of years ago, they did not have any technology to prove that their practices were correct, they were just assumptions.
