The goal of this assignment is to give you a valuable opportunity to practice and test your knowledge about the 10 characteristics of pseudoscience.
Instructions:
Find an example of pseudoscience online: article, blog, advertisement, Youtube video. It should notbe a journalism source (e.g., news or general information website) – but instead, someone actively promoting the claim. Make sure it fulfills at least two of the 10 criteria for pseudoscience we’ve discussed.
In a .docx uploaded to Canvas, provide a URL link to your example and list exactly twocharacteristics of pseudoscience. (Only the first two listed will be graded. Any additional ones will not be part of the grade but I can check for accuracy.) Refer to a specific location in the text/website that demonstrates that characteristic. Quotes are good, and an additional web link may be necessary to point me to pages within the website. Then provide each definition as it relates to your example.
Example of write-up:
Web advertisement: http://www.example_pseudoscience.com/stupidstuff
Empty language: article states that, “the energies from the universe will promote your natural healing capability.” This statement doesn’t actually promise anything – how would we know natural healing ability was “promoted?” It’s pretty but tells us nothing. Term “energy” is not defined, used in a vague way.
Stagnation: the treatment is described as “ancient wisdom from the Mayans.” This statement assumes the ancients knew more than us about health, which is probably not true. If the treatment has not evolved over time, it may not be legitimate.
Points: 12 points for accurate identification of characteristics of pseudoscience and correct description and definition. If you list more than two characteristics of pseudoscience, I will only grade the first two listed.
PLEASE NOTE: The example you submit must be a modern example, not a scanned photo from an old advertisement. Any image or source that can be found by searching Google for “pseudoscience example” will not be accepted. You need to do the work yourself by using other search terms you think might bring up some questionable claims. The example also must not closely resemble anything presented in lecture videos. In other words, your example must be unique!
