    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…

    The cost of lying

    • 1142 Words
    • 3 Pages

    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.…

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.…
