    Stephanie Ericsson The Ways We Lie Summary

    After reading Stephanie Ericsson’s article titled “ The ways we lie” , I chose to write about delusion. In Ericsson’s article she said that delusion is closely related to other forms of lying such as dismissal , omission , and amnesia. It is a form of protecting yourself from facts that you don’t want to face. Instead of taking a good look at yourself and being totally honest with yourself , you allow logic to go out the window and make up excuses for your actions. You may truly believe what you are telling yourself . That makes delusion a cunning way to excuse your behavior and your actions. On a grander scale, some people may delude unpleasant or overwhelming facts ( such as “The Revelation” (or second coming) because to truly adknowledge…

    Unbroken: Hillenbrand’s Argument

    The argument an author makes is not the easiest thing to pick out, particularly when the book is written about the life of someone else. I believe Hillenbrand’s main argument is that people can change their behaviors based on current situations and the environment they are in. Louie Zamperini grew up as a trouble maker. He thieved from neighbors’ kitchens and generally caused mayhem wherever he went. When propaganda regarding eugenics started to surface and a child from his neighborhood was declared to be feeble-minded, Louie resolved to clean up his act and make himself a better person. As Louie grew up, he transformed into an All-American track star and eventually a hero in the United States Air Force. Before becoming the hero Louie Zamperini is now known as, he struggled with his transformation from hoodlum to trackstar to hero. After the threat of being declared feeble-minded, Louie had realized that the hoodlum everyone knew, was not who he wanted to be. “The person that Louie had become was not, he knew, his authentic self. He made hesitant efforts to connect to others” (Hillenbrand 12). Louie Zamperini had reached the age that everyone hits. He had reached the age where he was beginning to realize what type of person he wanted to be and how he wanted to be remembered. Louie changed for the better. I believe that Hillenbrand used the book and Louie’s transformation to stress her feelings on the subject. Anyone who knew Louie prior to reading Hillenbrand’s book would have agreed that he stayed strong even in the worst of circumstances.…

    Stephanie Ericsson The Ways We Lie Analysis

    In "The Ways We Lie" by Stephanie Ericsson, Ericsson talks about how lies exist in aspects of our life every single day. She describes the different ways that humans lie and justifies why people doing so. These lies discussed in this article include the white lies, facade lies, lies of omission and lies that focus around stereotypes. White lie is a common way that people lie to others, because the lie would be better than the truth. Sometimes, the truth will cause more damage or dangerous than a simple harmless…

    The Crucible Lies And Deceit Analysis

    Arthur Miller makes the claim “Lies and deceit can cause the worst trouble in a community”. This can be seen when Sarah Good, an old lady who is believed to be a witch, is asked to recite the 10 commandments to prove she isn't a witch. In the play titled The Crucible ,by Arthur Miller, Mary Warren, a young housemaid, is talking to Proctor and Elizabeth, a christian couple, and she states that, “Aye, but then Judge Hathorne say, ‘Recite for us your commandments!’ - leaning avidly toward them - and of all the ten she could not say a single one. She never knew no commandments, and they had her in a flat lie!” This means that Judge Hawthorne only judges by the peoples ability of reciting the 10 commandments, and if they fail, they are assumed…

    Stephen L. Carter's The Insufficiency Of Honesty

    What defines honesty and integrity? Is there a connection between these two words, and what does that imply? Stephen L. Carter, a law professor and writer, questions the common definitions of these words and the their moral interpretations in his essay, “The Insufficiency of Honesty”. In the essay, he makes several about the key differences between what “honesty” and “integrity” actually mean, and I agree with Carter that too often integrity is mistaken for honesty. He mentions that, “…acting in accordance with what you think is right and risking no loss in the process is a rather thin and unadmirable form of honesty”, and I concur that selfishness of that caliber lacks integrity by definition.…

    The cost of lying

    Trust is like a mirror, once it is broken, it is never seen the same again, and that is the cost. No matter how hard you try to put it back together, the cracks are always visible. No one wants to be a liar, no one wants to be a dishonest person. One might presume that a person will lie because they want something they can’t have with the truth. Recalling back to my childhood, I was unable to be like other children where they were able to have fun, running, jumping, and screaming. Every moment of my life was monitored by my mom and I was required to report everything back to her. Gradually as I grew older, I became more independent and started to make decisions on my own, which led me to my first lie and disappointed my mom.…

    Jeff Hancock: The Future Of Lying

    On TED talks, Jeff Hancock, a Professor in the Department of Communication at Stanford University, spoke about the future of lying. Professor Hancock specialize in Social Science and one of his research focuses on how we have changed our behavior to lie less through online communication due to it being on permanent record. “The Butler,” “The Sock Puppet,” and “The Chinese Water Army” are types of deceptions that Professor Hancock and his team are tracking and documenting. On this video, Professor Hancock also talked about how back in the days, before writing surfaced about 5,000 years ago, every word that our ancestors has ever said or uttered are untraceable; but now that it’s the “networking age,” we are now in an environment where we are recording everything.…

    Analysis Of We Were Liars By E. Lockhart

    The novel “We Were Liars,” by E. Lockhart continues with Cadence assigning herself a unique kind of project. She makes it a point to give away a personal item each day. She starts off by mailing a Barbie to Mirren and a striped scarf to Johnny as he is fond of that pattern. She continues gifting items each day to different people in different places. Cadence discusses her desire to be normal, and not have people always worried about her. She begins to have more vivid recollections of the night of her accident.
