Although he speaks of the need for compassion, diplomacy and protection from “unadulterated truth,” he claims that no one is naive or surprised their politicians are dishonest (par. 2, 3). Damon uses references to historical figures to invoke a spiritual and patriotic response from the audience (par. 6). He refers to Gordon Hinkley’s descriptive passage as “alarm sounding…a neglected virtue…and problematic status” to extract a response (par. 7). Damon presents a strong warning when he states that “we are reaching a dysfunctional tipping point” when honesty becomes the “loser's way of operating,” and lying is tolerated (par. 8-9). He also advances that it is “most troubling” that there is current lack of honesty amongst young people due to the inconsistent implementation of standards within schools (par. 11).

In The Crucible by Arthur Miller lying occurs many times, the main conflict is based off of a lie that started from a group of girls about witchcraft which caused 19 innocent people to be hung, a man pressed to death and 13 put into prison where mostly all of them died.

I was initially excited to have picked rock-paper-scissors as my experiment. It wasn 't till I was standing in line ordering my coffee that I realize how nervous I was to begin the experiment with the cashier. I convened myself that the worst that would happen is the lady would say no, however I still chickened out at the last moment.

Though I had been nervous at first, it was a fun experience and I knew that throughout the day it was only going to get easier breaking the social norms of interacting with people.

We’re trained as individuals to follow social norms, so breaking them can feel very uncomfortable. It was weird acting out of my comfort zone in order to accomplish this. I didn’t want anyone to get the wrong idea or see me as rude in any way. Most of the people acted how I expected they would. They didn’t know how to react/ they didn’t expect it to happen. It was more of a shocked reaction where they didn’t know what to say. The hardest part was getting a picture of the experiment in the act without being seen by the person in question. Especially in a dining hall it’s hard to hide a camera when you also need to be within view to take a picture which is why we tried to accomplish this in the less crowded cafe.
