Discussion Post
"Correlation does not equal causation" and yet much of what you read in the popular media suggest that people have conveniently forgotten this fact. For this discussion post, please think about things you have read or heard. Find one item you located where someone has reported a correlation and either outright declared a causation or implied causation in their discussion of the research findings. If you have trouble thinking of ideas, consider either the alt right or alt left media. In fact, just about anything reported as news on Facebook will probably misuse some type of correlation. For that final point in the scoring make sur eyou include the weblink to the source. You don't need a source in your responses to peers.
Then, state what you found (with a reference for it so others can locate it) and then how a correlation was twisted into causation. What other explanation would you give for it?
The response should include a reference list. Using double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
