Lying on dating websites

Lying on dating websites is very common even if it is just by a few pounds on a persons weight or a few inches on their height. One of the biggest for lying is probably tinder, because you do not have to put any real information on their it is more of a hook up site. With this comes a lot of catfish or people lying about who they actually are and what they actually look like this is true on other websites but especially on tinder. This is just another example of lying and how people lie to one another.

Lying during the Iowa Caucus

There is lying all throughout politics. The most obvious recent lie was during the Iowa Caucus. A rumor was thrown out there about Ben Carson and how he planned to drop out. Ted Cruz used that and told many of his supporters and people in Iowa that Ben Carson was going to drop out to try and steal his votes and that is what he did. He stole his votes and ended up beating Donald Trump. Ben Carson is likely to drop out soon but he was at least going to finish the Iowa caucus and has recently finished the New Hampshire Primary so maybe the people that told Ted Cruz and his people that Ben Carson was dropping out maybe they lied or maybe it was all Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz sent out a letter to his supporters and talked about how Ben Carson was going to drop out so he stole votes. Either way he was part of the lie and it was wrong. I am just happy Donald Trump won the New Hampshire primary.

Lying to yourself

We lie everyday. Most of the time its to other people but actually some people lie to their selves. They do not want to believe a certain thing and just brush it off even though it matters. The reasoning for lying to themselves is the same as lying to others to try and protect themselves and make their situation better. Most of the time we and me included do not think of lying like that. We actually lie to ourselves often but do not think nothing of it. This is just another way of lying and a way that most people do not think of or even consider lying.

Cheating

The topic for this class since the beginning has been lying and deception. These two words go together but are not the same thing. We are now talking about cheating. Cheating also ties into these but is a form of deception not lying. Cheating you are not really lying your deceiving a person about knowing something. You are not lying about knowing  you are deceiving the other person by cheating. Lying is used in text or speaking. Were deceiving is done by action rather than words. Cheating is an action that is deceiving someone. These all deserve to be in the same category and talked about together but it is important to know the difference between each one and that cheating is a sub category of deception.

When is it good to lie and when is it not?

Everyone lies, it is human nature to try and make a situation better whether it is for you or someone else's benefit everyone does it. The question is when is good to lie and when is it not. Why lie about some things and not others? You would think this could maybe be common sense and realize when something is to deep or important to lie about it but once again people like to hide things or make their situation better rather than just working through it and being honest. The answer to this question can and will be answered differently by each person. Some people are strict and say never lie or whatever but simply that is impossible just about we all lie and deceive whether we want to or not it happens it is human nature. Others think it is okay to lie about little things because they are not as important and it will not matter as much if they are caught. Many people do not want to lie in bigger situations like jobs, money, relationships and issues like that but it still happens everyday because of human nature and wanting to be accepted or look good. Others think it is okay whenever as long as there is personal gain and no one is hurt then some do not put others into account. Many different reasons and situations to lie in but when is it good? If it isn't that important or is a small thing then why even lie about it in the first place? Many people lie about smaller things because of that but why is it okay to lie if it is not that important just tell the truth then but people still no matter what the circumstance people want to look good and better their situation. If it is a relationship lie then why would you lie and if you get caught most likely ruin your relationship but if you tell the truth then maybe they overreact and ruins it any way. There is many questions to answer when talking about lying and why to lie. Everyone's opinion is different but the reasoning for lying are all the same and that is why people lie we know that but what is still truly unknown is when is it good to lie and when is it not. Is the gain or reward greater than the risk or consequences? This varies from person to person because everyones brains think differently and have a different view on such a difficult matter. Lying is everywhere and I am sure most of us lie or deceive daily but was it really worth it? Why not just be honest? I cannot answer that as I know I have lied and deceived many times but honesty seems the way to go until you get in the tough situation when you want to look better or make something better, then human nature takes over because we are just going of instinct, we do not consciously think through the reasoning because we are in the moment and pressured.

Lying and deception in Politics

Lying and deception is has always been a problem because it is human nature but I feel like we are getting even worse with it and are using it too much. Lying and deception is always I big conversation with the presidential election coming up next year. All these candidates are campaigning and trying to persuade the American people that they are the best candidate for President. They try to make themselves look good and protect their weaknesses by lying. Also they try to make their opponents look bad and tell the people how bad they are and what is wrong with them, they try to deceive us. It gets so confusing because who knows who is telling the truth and being real with us. You just have to look at their views that they present and see which you agree with. In my opinion Donald Trump is the best candidate and I know he is not lying because he says whatever he is thinking and sometimes that gets him into trouble but at least he is being honest. Politics interest me and is a fascinating thing but there is a lot of lying and deception during their campaigns because of the exact reasons people lie which is to protect, make yourself look better or to make the other look worse. Who is going to do it the best is the question. Hillary Clinton has had some experience lying but we will not go into that.
