PSY260 - Media Claims Versus Empirical Facts

Through the process of the scientific method, we provide evidence to support claims, find the answers to complex questions, or further our understanding of topics/issues/phenomena.

Complete the attached chart, "Media Claims," by identifying five media claims. Then write a scientific fact that supports the claims and a scientific fact that refutes the media claim statements. Of the five media claims, at least one should be historical, and at least one should be related to religion. Cite the scholarly, peer reviewed sources from which the scientific facts were obtained using in-text citations and references formatted according to APA Style Guide.
