This is the period of social media. Every one of us is the consumers of at least one social media. How do you think the messages that pop up in your smartphone time by time via social media? Will you believe those messages as they are, or will you adopt a triangulation method to assess the reality in the news. If you have a habit of using a triangulation method to confirm the truth of the message, then you are showing the tendency to think scientifically. Triangulation happens when you assess if the information is accurate with the help of other sources before taking it granted.
Science is a way to search the reality. However, scientific research is not a medium to prove anything to be true. It is a try to make sure about the truth based on the available pieces of evidence. It is far better than a common-sense approach, as we will not get trapped and be fickle to the persuasive information. It will encourage us to search for the right, not to be blind with any belief.
