Lie detection

The definition of Truth is the quality or state of being true. In The Lakota Way it shows how truth can be taken. How some people may make an illusion of truth and how it can be mistaken as truth. Like in the first story of the truth in the seventh chapter. This story told of a trickster named Iktomi, Iktomi was a lazy guy that was smarter than he was taken for. He wouldn’t hunt for his food but he would trick people and animals into providing him with food. Iktomi made an illusion of truth to…

Have you ever lied to someone and felt guilty after ? Or do you always be honest no matter how someone would feel afterwards? Amir guilt followed him all the way to his adult life, him not being honest with Baba and Hassan changed all their lives. Baba not being honest with Amir reflected on how he treated Hassan. Being honest is important when it comes to other people, sometimes it’s also okay not too tell the truth because the truth can hurt but when you don’t tell the truth you be holding…

Some people believe that money and greed seem to be the root of all evil. This in fact may be true, but, what causes people to behave in such a manner to where money controls their behavior? Manipulating and deceiving people out of their hard earned money is very frowned upon but somehow people get away with it and it still happens like nothing. Money and greed bring out the darkest part out of people’s souls and make them think in such an evil devilish way that they have never thought before.…

The first article in my study was titled: “Misleading Statistical Studies” by Amanda Wolf. The article focuses on statistical studies and the lies that they sometimes tell. Wolf explains that though statistics do not need to be avoided, they do, however, need to be evaluated. She also emphasizes that the misleading information found in some statistics is not always the product of careless work. Sometimes these lies happen completely on accident. Wolf also stresses that statistics do not…

This satirical skit was about Jimmy Fallon impersonating Donald Trump with a surprise RNC speech. This skit lasted about 3 minutes, but shows a lot about our President. The skit begins with a RNC like event going on and Fallon beings to dance to the music as he arrives to the podium. Jimmy Fallon mimics the ongoing meme about Trump’s hair and orange skin. He also mimics the way Trump speaks, such as his lip shapes whenever he talks, and squints his eyes throughout the whole skit. Fallon's act on…

deception at least once or twice. Whether it just be a little white lie about yourself or lying to a judge. For some it is completely against their morals to do so while others use deception as if they needed it to survive. It can be used to impress others and can help someone get out of a bad situation. Even though we know deception is bad, it’s very hard to avoid. Growing up I was taught that the worst thing you could do is lie to someone and I firmly agree, but I believe that the act of…

I believe JT Leroy perpetrated was the more serious hoax compare to grey owl. What I mean by that is grey owl hiding of his true identity did not have a disappointing effect on his followers as much. When people found out about him being an Englishmen they did not care as much to what background he had mainly because of his key positive message of preservation of wilderness and wildlife. When he moved to Canada he became a new person and adapt to the person who he wanted to become so it was…

White lies are known as “harmless” lies. They are lies that are not intended to hurt someone’s feelings. Have you ever heard a lie about yourself that did not hurt your feelings? Once a lie comes out of someone’s mouth, there is no control over how other people will take it. So, who’s to say that white lies are harmless? Lying is a morally conscious decision that marks a destination with no sense of direction, hope, or drive. Lying is a misrepresentation of the truth. The truth holds no meaning…

whole trip. Willy tried to make it seem like he is making way more money than he actually is in hopes that his wife and family will be proud of him. He continues to lie to his family about how much money he is making especially to his children. Willy does this because he want to be successful, but in order to be successful he has to lie to himself about it. This happens again when he is talking to Howard and pleading to keep his job. Willy claims he averaged a hundred and seventy a week in…

Tell the Truth by Barbara Ballinger, Brad Blanton states that “We shouldn’t manipulate the truth except for rare times-if you’re hiding Anne Frank in your attic because her life is in danger.” This is important because at the end of the day when you lie you’re basically lying to yourself because you can’t let the truth out for whatever reason it is. Clearly you can agree with me that lying is the worst excuse for not telling…
