Podcast Notes



Indiana Jones: Saving History or Stealing it?

-there’s a male and female speaker in this podcast

-Some think Indiana Jones is an archaeologist, some think he’s a professional looter because he only dug where the treasure was

-some movie clips are played in the podcast

-at first Indiana Jones took some treasure because he thought museums should have it but in later movies he kind of wanted some fame

-Students think archaeology is going to be sweet because you just find treasures, but then when they find out it’s mostly dating trees and such, some are turned off

-Indiana Jones is about adventure, not science, even though he has a Ph. D.

Belief in Climate Change Hinges on Worldview

-A lot of scientists report that the planet is becoming very warm, but many Americans are calling this a hoax, based on their worldview

-2 opposing sides (hoax vs. non-hoax) are cited

-many experiments show that people believe the facts that are consistent with their worldview

-messenger effect – people believe facts that came from people like them
