Dishonest Linking and Framing Essay

Shakespeare’s play Twelfth Night is based off the traditional Christian holiday – a day on which the normality of the world is turned upside down. On this particular day, the normal order of things is disrupted and the social standings of lower and upper social class members are reversed. The title is delightfully fitting for the play, as the storyline is comprised of comical disruption within the social decorum of Illyria. In this essay, I will examine how the carnival atmosphere of the Twelfth Night holiday is reflected in the way the play is constructed. Shakespeare introduces a topsy-turvy world where metaphoric boundaries are crossed with the created ambiguity of gender and the act of deception.

All history comes with contradictions. With every moment in history comes a corresponding moment which can take the accuracy and understanding and change them forever. Throughout time people add small pieces of information to great events in our past. This is where we get the misinterpretation of history. In chapter five of the book Lies My Teacher Told Me, these contradictions are brought into light and force us to look at them again. As I have learned in my history courses we can always question the accuracy of a story but we may never fully understand the truth. There have been three important times I have been through that have shaped my understanding of history today, specifically the part of history dealing with slavery and racism.

James Loewen wrote the book ?Lies My Teacher Told ME? to help the students of the United States become aware of their true history. This book attempts to show how and why American history has been taught the way it has without regard for the truth. Mr. Loewen had compared twelve different history textbooks they are: The Great Republic, The American Way, Land of Promise, Rise of the American Nation, Challenge of Freedom, American Adventures, Discovering American History, The American Tradition, Life and Liberty, The United States ? A History of the Republic, Triumph of the American Nation and The American Pageant. Loewen has argued his cases for Heroification, Euorcentrism and the first settlers, and Racism in our history. He has done

Deception According to Hyman (1989) deception implies that an agent acts or speaks so as to induce a false belief in a target or victim. Deception can occur in everyday life. Whether it is telling someone they look nice or not telling them that they look fat. This is an important process for forming relationships and general social interaction.

We are told from a very young that we should tell the truth, and that lying is wrong; an immoral action which we should not engage in. Yet lying is a large part of daily life, whether it be our lying to others or others lying to us, around us, or lying in ways that affect our lives. Oftentimes, the lies we tell are for social gain; for the purposes of esteem, affection, or respect. We lie as a way to manage others impressions of us. Studies have found that women are generally more intimate in their interactions, which would suggest that they lie less. However, might women lie more to benefit others, as opposed to self-centered lies? A study by DePaul et al. (1996) set out to answers questions about the frequency of lying, types of lies told,

Honesty and deception both play valuable roles in all parts of personal lives and society. Richard Gunderman stated, “To tell the truth is to live authentically and responsibly, to really live.” Living honestly is a way to have less stress to your life, proven by Richard Gunderman in “Is lying bad for us?” However, dishonesty seems to at an all time high with the growth of communication as stated in “On Bullshit” by Harry Frankfurt. In addition, lying can provide incredible short-term benefits discussed by Stephanie Ericsson in “The Ways We Lie.” Gunderman’s claim on authenticity is valid because most cultures see honesty and trust as two of the more lauded values. Telling the truth relieves stress and adds trust. Yet, there is a seemingly

"It would be better not to know so many things than to know so many

Self deception is the process or fact of misleading ourselves to accept as true or valid what is false or invalid. Self deception, in short, is a way we justify false beliefs to ourselves. There is no doubt that sometimes we are not realistic. Not all of our actions are rational or intentional. Sometimes we avoid reality, we deny the truth, and we fool ourselves. In some cases we may see the world the way we want to, and not the way it is. Self deception raises basic questions about the nature of belief and the relation of belief to thought, desire, and will.

He emphasizes that as the amount of views started becoming more respected, people started trying to cheat the system. But views don’t track if someone watched or read a whole story, they only track how many people clicked into the link. So of course the creators took advantage of that and started creating juicy headlines that would just result in a click, or view also known as “click-bait”. He argues that even though the website has all the extra views, it still isn’t going to be trusted by viewers, resulting in them not returning back to that website. Mark’s suggested that with our attention constantly shifting every three minutes because of smart phones and the internet we are drawn to click-bait. As Mark reports, click-bait has been around in newspaper articles from the 19th century and with click-bait combined with hypermedia it leads us down cognitive paths, resulting in us not being able to find our way back to the main article. On the census of quality, Berger and Mark’s seem to come to an agreement. Berger states that “click-bait is bad because it over promises and under delivers.” It leads us to believe that we are clicking into something that is going to be worth it, but then we end up disappointed, losing trust and not returning back. Mark states that click-bait is an attention distraction that can lead to “higher stress, a bad mood and lower

History books tell lies. Now, you may be thinking, “Well that is ridiculous. History books tell facts, and facts cannot be lies”, but they can. My history book tells me that the idea of “Global Warming” was just a chinese conspiracy, but I know that is not true. It is now 2150, and it has been 133 years since Donald Trump was the President of the United States. Trump’s belief that climate change was just a myth spread through homes like a wildfire, one that has still not been put out. I watch the news and see states being drowned along with the people who inhabit them. People see what is happening and know that their ignorance is the reason for the death that surrounds them. In some places of the country people’s mouths are drying out while

Some sites, such as The Onion (www.theonion.com) restricts the level of interactivity on their website by limiting links to only those of their advertisers. However, the content of their site is a testament of classic conscious intertextuality. Much like the Simpsons, "The Onion" is a satire. It parodies legitimate news websites and global current affairs. Readers' prior knowledge of these affects the way in which they view the site and interpret these satirical "issues" of The Onion.

If I was asked had I’ve ever been late for work, I would say my boss doesn’t believe so. Which is true, he believes I never been late, but it’s a lie. I’ve been late for work numerous times. My employer has it written down that if your late more than three time with-in a given week, its grounds for termination. I’ve been late every day of a given week before, and I’m still employed. The truth is, my boss comes to work two hours after I do, every day I work. As long as I’m in work before he is, I’m not considered late by his observation. By omitting the truth, I’m lying.

Socrates is a man of great controversy. He has been portrayed as many different personalities such as a sophist to a great philosopher to just a vocal old man. The true nature of Socrates is to be questioned. He spoke his thoughts on life and what his philosophy on life was. A couple arguments that he spoke about really stood out about lying. These arguments had brute force and were made very clear through his dialogue. According to his dialogue, he felt that there were two different types of lies.

What is happening is news organizations want to embrace the traditions of the past by upholding high ethical standards. However, as time has gone by the transformations in formats (i.e. online) are making it difficult to provide full accreditation for online news articles. As a result, the ethical debates have been continuing the more these practices are used. In this particular case, news organizations are justified in linking their web site to other

Sometimes, some people will use a lie to hurt or laugh at someone. For example, when I was in primary school, my classmate enjoyed to laugh with someone in my class. Maybe they want to make fun of people, but they always make other people feel really bad of themselves. My teachers always told us to not do those awful things to other, but they didn’t care about that. They still make fun of other students. I think it is an immoral way to use lie because that would hurt not on the body, but on the spiritual side! If the spiritual gets hurt, it is harder to recover than physique pain! Also, my classmate could destroy a person childhood. It is the fact and grave! Lie can destroy everything not only childhood!
