Assignment:
Discussion 1
In your initial post, describe a situation when you stated a correlation. For example, you may have said that higher gas mileage performance and a higher percentage of highway driving are positively correlated.
Discussion 2
Do you think that other media outlets are biased, but not yours? Do you make an effort to watch all media outlets - even the ones with which you do not agree? Why might some stories be highlighted (i.e. put on the front page) and others played down (i.e. placed in a small article buried within the paper)?
Discussion 3
Do you ever struggle with common barriers like anger, depression, or stress? How do these affect your thinking? How might you better control things like anger, depression, or stress? What are the consequences for failing to do so as it relates to your thinking?
Discussion 4
How can you determine if information is credible? How can this be applied in your life?
