Ericsson We All Lie Analysis

According to Ericsson “we all lie”. We have the ability to tell the truth, but we chose not to for the sake of our own benefits. Even if we do tell the truth, we have a lot to lose in the process. In order to tell the truth in an everyday basis, you have to watch your every move, never making a mistake in the interest of saving yourself or others. You have to restructure the truth, which then assumes the form of a lie. Three ways of telling a lie corresponding to Ericsson are out and out lies, dismissal, and white lies.

Out and out lie is the precise definition of a lie. As an adolescent we lie all the time to get what we desire. I’ll take myself for example, when my parents decide to go to dinner on a school night they’ll ask me if I have

any homework or completed all my assignments my answer will always be yes. The reason this is because I want to go along for the ride and get food to satisfy my requirements. Another example is when my parents ask me if I have money, I say no even though I do, this leads them to give me more money. Bulling, when a bully picks on a certain person they might tell them nasty things to lower their self-esteem and mock them, but in all reality the bully may envy’s the other person. This is a lie because the tyrant is giving them false information to make them feel bad since they have things the tormenter doesn’t and the Intimidator doesn’t want to admit they have a liking to the person.
Another example of lying is Dismissal. Dismissal is seeing something and not doing anything about the truth. For example, in an abusive family if a parent is hitting a child and granting unbearable punishments and no one takes a stand to get help (call the cops). An additional example is when a group of pupils in a lecture class steals an examine from the professor, in front of the entire grade. As a result, they got caught so as the educator tries to find out who stole the test the whole class silent.
Shielding the interest of others attitude or being is an example of a white lie. For instance, in a school shooting the teachers tell the students they will be fine and they’ll make it to their parent’s safe, but never got the opportunity to due to the shooter succeeding in his/her mission. But they told the children this form of a lie to protect any good memory of their last days on earth. Not wanting them to worry or quarrel about what’s yet to come, but remise on the fact that one day they will be safe and reunite with their families in another sense. Another example, takes part in the classic film “The Titanic” due to the ship sinking some passengers didn’t have the opportunity of escaping in time. Through reading the definition of a white lie a particular scene from the movie struck my memories, there was a mother that told her adolescents to go to sleep, everything will be fine making them assume they will wake up the next day. This created the illusion of hope that they will have a morning to see.
Several ways of telling a lie corresponding to Ericsson are out and out lies dismissal, and white lies. Out and out lies are an accurate example of a lie, like a casual lie. Dismissals are seeing something and not saying anything. White lies are defending the attention of others. No matter how you put it, lies are a part of our human nature and without it we can lose essential things that make us whole.
