  10. Warning Flags

  11. Weasel Words Words or phrases that are vague and not supported by evidence.

  12. Weasel Words “Some argue that. . ." “There are those that assert. . . “ “The evidence demonstrates. . .”

  13. Race Some argue that although "race" is a valid concept in other species, it cannot be applied to humans. Many scientists have argued that race definitions are imprecise, arbitrary, and derived from custom.

  14. Scholarly Article: Sun, Kathy. “The Definition of Race.” American Psychologist, Jan. 1995, 50:1, 64-78. It can be argued that anyone attempting to define race scientifically is obligated to examine how the meaning of race in the social world is distinct from and related to the biological one because the concept of race is used in both domains and the obsession with racial problems remains a critical social issue in the society (Katz & Taylor, 1988; Yee et al., 1993), eliciting the attention of more psychologists than does the debate about genetically based differences (see Katz & Taylor).On one hand, a racial category in the social world refers to people who possess not only similar biological characteristics but also identical social experiences, such as being the victim of collective discrimination or prejudice (McKee, 1993). REFERENCES Katz, P. A., & Taylor, D. A. (1988). Introduction. In P. A.Katz & D. A.Taylor (Eds.), Eliminating racism: Profile in controversy (pp. 1–16). New York: Plenum Press. Kuhn, T. (1970).
