However, there are just as many things in the world that are "all natural" that are unsafe and unhealthy.
Connection: This article explains how "All Natural" or organic skincare products are not always safer or better than non-organic or products that are not "all natural". Just because the product is "all natural", does not mean it is better for your skin.

They think that one event is the cause or change in another event.
Connection: Confusion of Correlation with Causation can often occur with 'paranormal experiences'. For example, if someone was playing Bloody Mary and the lights flicked, the person would assume that Bloody Mary caused the lights to flicker.

Connection: Election time is a great example of when people use Confirmation Bias. When people are determining their vote, they often favour the information they like about the candidate and disregard the bad information about the candidate. This article explains how Trump supporters favour Trump's political promises and disregard all of his lies and unprofessional conduct.

Connection: This article explains how Donald Trump, the president of one of the most powerful countries of the world, denies the existence of global warming even though there has been extensive research done to prove that global warming, does in fact exist.

Emotions make people believe in things based on their personal connection to it.
Connection: This article demonstrates how individuals that believe in a religion, often only believe in the religion because they felt an emotional connection to it instead of basing their belief on scientific evidence and critical thinking.

Connection: Sometimes when people are in a relationship they tend to jump to conclusions when they witness something that could validate their beliefs. For example, if someone's boyfriend is having lunch with another female, the girlfriend could jump to the conclusion that he was cheating on her if she thought he was cheating on her to begin with.

So when something unexplainable happens, people try to make sense of it themselves.
Connection:  This video shows five different unexplained photographs and the creator of this video tries to provide an explanation for every one of them. ]]> 2018-09-28 20:22:16 UTC https://padlet.com/katelyn_bunting10/zywogimkl5l6/wish/287139776 katelyn_bunting10 https://padlet.com/katelyn_bunting10/zywogimkl5l6/wish/287170495 I chose to evaluate the article "Why Trump Supporters Don't Mind His Lies" by Daniel A.
