Lying part 2

Continuing on the topic of lying something that we spent a good amount of time talking about in class was people accepting lies. By accepting I mean that they know the person is lying but nothing is said about it they just go along with the lie. A big reason people might do this is to avoid embarrassment for everybody. Another reason that people may go along with the lie is to keep from ruining a relationship with that person. If you call someone out on lying often that could lead to an argument that could end up causing more trouble. Also people could use it for their own advantage. If you go along with the lie maybe they will owe you a favor in return.

Lying

We have spent the first weeks of Core 125H talking about lying and deceiving. As a general population people lie for many different reasons. One of the main reasons being we try to protect people by telling a lie. In certain situations instead of telling the truth about something we lie because the truth may get someone in trouble. In some cases people may lie to try and preserve a relationship either with a person or a materialistic thing. Something else that has been discussed a lot is how lying changes with changes in technology. People these days pay more attention to the lies they tell or where they tell lies at. Anything that is said on the internet is there in some form forever.
