Ross Perot When People Lie
In the article I read was about when people lie and how at times it could be the right thing to do in certain times and how some people might view it as the wrong thing to do even if it is for a good reason. We see every day that people who are in power or famous lie about something so simple that it ends up destroying their career or even ruin their lives at home. An example of this from the reading is when Ross Perot lied about not going into the people who worked with him private life. Ross did not have to lie about going into people’s private life knowing that someone would eventually find out the truth. Even though people probably did not care about what he did because people in his position always tell a lie or scheme their way into

    The increased amount of news broadcasts and social media being used by our government to force feed us with fake information, has lead for our entire nation to be at a loss of whether or not we can ever trust our elected officials, and their administration again. In light of Donald Trump’s new presidency, many have learned that our government is not forced to tell the “truth,” and as Donald Trump so commonly does, can tell their own constructed “truth.” We have seen this constructed truth thrust upon us so many times, by Trump and his administration, over the frivolous and the important. If live you in America, or are interested in American politics, you most likely have seen the terms “fake news” and “alternate facts.” These terms come straight…

    As Barry Ritholtz, the CIO of Ritholtz Wealth Management, asserted, "Little white lies are told by humans all the time. Indeed, lying is often how we get through each day in a happy little bubble." Lying is woven into the fabric of society. Humanity spends so much time and energy justifying its actions and beliefs, that lying seems like the easy alternative, whether to themselves or to others, than simply delving into the "real reasons". That is at the heart of a lie and its mask may be used to gain power, as in the case with Richard Milhous Nixon. Harry Truman expresses his opinion by stating, "Nixon is one of the few in the history of this country to run for high office talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time and lying out…

For example, lies are mostly told to avoid the consequences of one’s actions such as with criminal activities and academic misconduct. When comparing acceptable and unacceptable reasons to lie, the unacceptable reasons greatly outnumber the acceptable.…
