Identify ways that you might have allowed yourself to accept beliefs or engage in practices that you might have rejected if you had engaged in scientific skepticism. For example, we continually have to remind some of our friends that a claim made in an e-mail may be a hoax or a rumor. Provide specific details of the experience(s). How might you go about investigating whether the claim is valid?

Be sure to appropriately cite your readings from this course to support your statements (must include references and in-text citations).
