  • The Insufficiency Of Honesty Analysis

    Through out history people have been influenced by what they want to hear and the way a current trend is happening. The evolution of mankind has drifted towards a different society than what we where born to sustain. We are emotionally driven human beings that want to feel accepted by the rules of society. Sometimes an individual can confuse actions or emotions towards trying to fulfill the standards society has imposed. I have analyzed two articles that incorporate how a society reacts towards integrity as well as honesty and the belief that an individual in order to be a part of society one must comply with the standards that are set. As I began to interpret what Stephen L. Carter explained in “The Insufficiency of Honesty” I examined they

    It was my aunt who taught me the meaning of honesty. Not because she actually was honest, but because she lied all the time. I think she felt that the easiest way out of any given situation was generally the best way out. For her, that meant telling a lie that sounded believable. As a young child I thought it was cool to lie and get out of things so easily and being around my aunt was the main problem. Naturally, when ever I would come to her with a problem, concern, or a question wondering what I should do, she would always tell me to make up a good lie and run with it.

  • Ethics and Necessity of Truth in Criminal Justice

    1568 Words  | 4 Pages

    Lying may be defined as making false or misleading statements for purposes of deception. One may lie to protect one’s self or another, one may lie for personal advantage, and one may even lie to be humorous. Lying is generally regarded as unethical, if not sinful, because it destroys trust, the most fundamental basis for all peaceful human interaction. Be that as it may, lying is doubtless as old as civilization and because of the necessity for truth in social relations, it is likely that techniques for detecting lies are as old as lying itself. Although historical techniques for determining veracity doubtless met with some measure of success, most likely as a bluffing tool to coerce what at least appeared as truth, these techniques were of questionable reliability.

    Truth is a word that at times is very difficult to assign a specific definition. Everyone has their own idea of what truth consists of. For one person, always making themselves available to work may be a life truth, while someone else may think that not to be.

    Why do we lie to ourselves? Why do we deceive ourselves into thinking that we are something that we are not? In reality most people will find that they are not who they appear to be. We seem to hide our true feelings and thoughts from ourselves, and others. Being comfortable in living a lie endangers our ability to be inspired, hence limiting our actual self from thriving into something much more than we already are.

  • Analysis Of Dis Honesty: The Truth About Lies

    762 Words  | 2 Pages

    To my understanding of the documentary (Dis) Honesty- The Truth about Lies, the reason why humans go from a “white lie” to outright dishonesty is simply because we often become to content with throwing around little “white lies.” Many times, we feel like we’ve already gotten this far in telling a little white lie that we must lie more in order to go along with what was said earlier, thus making us go from white lies to outright dishonesty. Most of the time, people know that lying is wrong, but they still do it because they either want it to be true, or they think they won’t get caught. Another reason, which was mentioned in the film, for why we tend to go from little lies to is because our brains adapt to it the more that we lie. As mentioned in the movie, “ If we’re pretty much honest people and we haven’t lied, and now we’re telling a lie, the brain is coding this as a really big difference relative to our baseline.” Therefore, the more we lie, the more the brain

  • The Importance Of Telling The Truth

    876 Words  | 2 Pages

    Telling the truth teaches one person self- respect for themselves and others as well. Telling the truth also sets a good example for others to do the same thing and make a “chain reaction”. People can make a “chain reaction” by passing on what they have done from one person to another, and before you know it, everyone is changing greatly, and the world is progressing tremendously. Lies are told all around the world, and they are told every day. One lie can often lead to another lie and cause you to be caught up in one big lie that will be hard to get out of if people do not tell the truth. If a person thinks that is okay to lie, they better think again, the truth always comes out no matter how hard a person tries to keep it in, or how much someone thinks that they can get away with lying. No person can keep in or hold a grudge with what they have done. After all, telling the truth is the right thing to do, and everyone should do it. Telling the truth is always much easier than the trouble of a

    Lying is a common part of human interaction. Whether it is to give a white lie to get out of something or telling a big lie that could get you in a lot of trouble later on. It is something everyone has done. Studies have shown that people lie constantly, and with one of the studies showing people tell two or three lies every ten minutes (Boser, 2009). But can everyone tell when someone is lying? No. Humans have a very poor accuracy rate of finding the difference between a lie and the truth. According to a research study by Maureen O’Sullivan at University of San Francisco,46 out of 15,000 people could accurately detect lies without having to guess (“Truth About Deception”, 2016).

    Morality just by itself be interpreted in few ways, one way is right or wrong. Another way can be quality or character. whereas to honesty it only has one true meaning and that’s being truthful , but when we put these words together “ the morality of honesty ’’ it tells us more than just a meaning , it makes us ask whether or not the quality we have within ourselves as a human beings is truly honest or not . In this following paper I will be arguing AGAINST about truth telling. We as human beings we often tend to do the right things not because we think it’s right or even we think there’s such a thing as right or wrong, but because we’re told its right. This goes same with truth telling, our society is filled with opinion it’s almost impossible to bring everyone on the same table, because everyone is so caught up in their way of thinking and that can make us to become defensive to even hear other peoples saying. I believe this ethical issue is important for discussion because majority of people see only one side of this issue. “The right side’’ when taking a stand in something we have to see both sides of the issue. By seeing both sides we can try to come with good solution, as our consequences really matters in the end.
