The video clip ‘The Baloney Detection Kit’ in the Webtext this
week discusses the many ways in which an effective critical
thinker assesses the claims made by others. Explain what you
believe is the real difference between ‘science’ and
‘pseudoscience’.
Examine the key reasons why so many people might seem to be
attracted to more pseudoscience-type claims. Describe at least
two (2) such claims that you have heard people make, and
analyze the main reasons why such claims do or do not meet
rigorous scientific methodology standards.
