Polygraph: The Importance Of Lying In Residential School

Improved Essays
We will determine who has been in residential schools by hopefully just asking them, but if we feel we should take bigger measures to see if they are lying to us or not we can look at their birth certificate to see if they were in the right era to have been in these schools for one. I also could if needed use a polygraph to see if they are telling the truth and were in this horrifying situation or if they are just trying to get something for themselves by using this event as an excuse. I think that a polygraph would help see if they are lying because it is a lie detector, f you lie about it we can see that on the screen and you don’t get any money, but if you are telling the truth you can get you money that you deserve. There is no way that the polygraph can go wrong in my mind.

    Residential School Syndrome (RSS) was coined by psychiatrist Dr. Charles Brasfield, and it refers to a group of symptoms exhibited by some survivors of the Canadian residential school system. These schools operated in the early 1900s until the late 1990s, and Aboriginal children across Canada were forcibly removed from their homes to attend. The traumas that students at residential schools suffered ranged from being apart from their families to being physically or sexually abused. Brasfield’s diagnosis of Residential School Syndrome can be seen as both empowering and damaging for survivors of residential schools, and the entire Canadian Aboriginal population. The syndrome affirms the traumas students experienced at residential schools, and…

    Going into depth on the horror and traumatizing events that had taken place during their times at residential schools, the films "We Were Children" and "Unrepentant" express the short-term and long-term effects by the survivors. Many survivors admitted to drug and/or alcohol abuse, some even attempting suicide multiple times. The concept of residential schools has been a major issue in both enactments, where young Aboriginal children were forced out of their homes to live in schools administered by the government in conjugation with religious churches. As expressed in the films, creating such direful schools that were in fact chronically underfunded and accommodated bad living conditions, had been created as a way to assimilate Aboriginal children…

    1. According to Ericsson, we all lie because we want to avoid confrontation, spare people’s feelings, and to get out of particular situations. To avoid confrontations, sometimes it is necessary to lie, for example, if you were talking about someone behind their back and they hear about it, you are going to deny that you ever talked bad about that person to avoid getting into an alteration. If someone is wearing an ugly outfit that they are real proud of, you are most likely going to lie to them by telling that someone that you love their outfit just to avoid hurting their feelings.…

    The Canadian Residential School System was brought into existence in the late 19th century in a final attempt ‘to get rid of the Indian problem”. In partner with various church organizations and groups, the federal government funded the institutions. The intent of the residential schooling system was to civilize the “savages” and to make them useful and law abiding members of society with strict rules and punishments for any misdeeds (Coliness 2009). Since children were more susceptible to influence and are typically easier to manipulate, they would be enrolled in these schools at very young ages. In the early decades, the system was managed loosely and without proper guidlines.…
