Procedure

1. Even when well-respected psychologists reach a conclusion, the arguments or evidence they use to support their decision may be open to debate. There are many factors to consider when dealing with human behavior. For example, you may have heard that if you want to stay healthy, you should take vitamins. But there are other ways to stay healthy. Of course, some are more realistic than others.

2. Take a look at this web, and then try creating your own web by thinking of ways to explain UFO sightings.
