Importance Of Telling The Truth

In the Scottsboro Case, there are nine black teenage boys that were falsely charged as rapists. The court case ended with a judgment against nine black teenage boys who were accused of raping two white women (Ruby Bates and Victoria Price), (Sandbox Networks, Inc., 2015). Two groups of men were traveling on the train a group of whites and a group of blacks. The white men attempted to force the black men off the train. The white men reported to the sheriffs that they were attacked by nine black men. Two women on the train falsey accused the black men of rape. All but one of the black men were sentenced to death for the crime (Wormser, 2002).

The perpetuation of misinformation can be very difficult to correct and may have lasting effects even after it is discredited. For instance, if an audience is reliant on the information provided by the media to make an informative decision about a topic involving their morals, the validity of the author’s claims will determine the mass majority of their decisions they make in the future. As a result, false information may continue to influence beliefs and attitudes even after being debunked if it is not replaced by an alternate causal explanation.

People don’t get the chance to decide which side they believe for themselves; they are being told wrong or biased info 61.8% of the time. Television is also guilty of being biased and spreading misinformation and with that, “Information has grown more unreliable, and ‘fake news’ becomes harder to detect. One in five people said they never double-checked information from television news, which can be heavily biased” (Aliza Vigderman). Aliza explains how this is contributing towards the growth of unreliable information. This evidence helps us understand how misinformation is spread and can incorporate bias when spreading information.

Falsehood and lying has been around for as long as humanity as lived it is part of human nature. Most who fall into such a treachery are mostly unaware of such falsehood through misinformation and thus fall into the clutches of such a situation in which a person has been lied to without prior knowledge. Now a days, it is quite easy to gain access of a plethora of information through the use of handheld devices and smartphones, especially news services. However not many know that such information can either be fabricated or manipulated in order to garner a certain response in order to suit the needs of the manipulator. Although superficially the Siren song by Margaret Atwood and The Fake news article of a Man whose mother had died due to

It’s is extremely hard to find someone who is so honest to the point they believe telling even small white lies is wrong. People so dead set on being honest are so rare. Plus most people hate people who are honest due to them not really focusing on others feeling but trying to help them by telling the truth. I think feelings are important if I am taking to someone else but I do not want someone to lie to me just because they believe it’ll make me happier or feel better.

Honesty without integrity can also lead to moral disasters. Well, honesty may be important but not sufficient for integrity. Integrity is both essential and significant. It is acceptable and one will agree with what Stephen L. Carter says about a person having honesty but not integrity. There are also some white lies present. Sometimes saying the truth or telling everything you know might hurt somebody. Harm may not be the intention but positively the effect.

Lying is often a necessary part of life. Randy Cohen, a moral philosopher says “Not only is lying justified, it is sometimes a moral duty.” This shows that although some people don’t agree with lying it is still a vital part of our day to day lives. Lying can be the difference between a happy relationship or a ruined one. Article 1 states that Teresa Velin says that she didn’t want her friendship to be broken over a movie date, so she said that she was busy. If she had told the truth, she would risk losing a friend.

How would you define a healthy relationship? One filled with lies or one with an abundance of truth. In American society, each relationship has its own opinion of what defines a loving relationship. In the essay, “Good Lovers Lie” author Clancy Martin believes that “ When it comes to love, both honesty and deception should be practiced in moderation…love is a greater good than the truth.” Meaning that a relationship shouldn’t be defined on impractical expectations about the truth. Specific good lies can benefit a relationship and can help it get from one day to the next. While some believe that lying all the time can hurt a relationship, lying for well being of love can help the relationship thrive from day to day.

Honesty has a high value in a society known for altering the truth; through Instagram filters, photoshopped and airbrushed models, and widespread but misleading interpretations of daily life, few things seem genuine. However, deception is justified when it prevents chaos and protects one's interests.

A significant form of interpersonal communication that plays an enormous role in relationships is lying. Lying has evolved into a frequent practice in today’s society. Even though, lying seem to be fond upon, we all have done it multiple times for not just our benefit but for others. In relationships, lying is turned from a negative to positive act depending on the circumstances. It seems as if, you lie in attempt to help another person it’s celebrated than if you lie for your benefits. Lying is known to only mislead or give a false impression in which the false hood can only cause negative acts. Why does one enange in lying if the outcome is negative? The most found reason that people find themselves lying is because of the truth. It is said that many people lie because long-term the truth is worse than the short-term lie. Lying is judged off its cost and benefits. In each situation, there will be outcomes when it comes to the lies being told. Lying to those you have impersonal connection with has less of an impact than those you have an interpersonal relationships. Those that has an impersonal relationships is nearly never affected by the lies told because normally they do not see that person as often as those with the close bonds. I understand that lying can be beneficial in relationship of any kind, but I personally feel that the truth is preferred. There are two consequences that puts strain on the relationship. Termination is the last step in a relationship; there are

Heart of Darkness, written by Joseph Conrad is an interesting take on European imperialism in the 19th century. It tells a lot about Conrad’s views on the matter and being able to read it and look upon it with a retrospective view is very intriguing as we know of many brutalities but often just dismiss it. For many what Conrad’s views are is widely questioned. It can be seen as either a criticism on imperialism and European activities in Africa.

The recent surge in popularity of social media comes with a price: fake news. Fake news is defined as news or media that has been altered or modified. Journalists have begun to analyze why that fake news exists and why it continues exist. Two authors, Eoin O’Carroll and Kevin D. Williamson, both have written articles about fake news. Eoin O’Carroll’s article “How Information Overload Helps Spread Fake News,” discusses how the media has bombarded us with news stories, blurring the distinct lines between real and fake news. Kevin D. Williamson, a journalist for the National Review, writes in his article “‘Fake News, Media and Voters: Shared Reality Must Be Acknowledged” that the news is not fake; it just does not align with one’s personal beliefs. Both authors successfully appeal to their audiences’ emotions and feelings, but O’Carroll is more likely to succeed than Williamson in persuading his audience to try and combat fake news because the writer presents himself as someone the intended readers will more readily identify with and offers evidence that his readers will find more compelling.

Everyone has come to a crossroad at some point in their life where they have to either face a harsh reality or hide behind a beautiful lie. At first glance the lie always looks great, and will usually make the situation better, at least in the moment. However, we end up looking back on all of the times we lied and got in trouble for it: the beatings we have taken for telling a lie, the times we have gotten our phone taken away, and most of all the friends we have lost for having the truth come out later. But maybe all of those people were wrong, ironically they stopped us from believing the truth about the truth for all those years. The truth does not matter because sometimes you never really know what is the truth, people believe what the want, and often times telling the truth is boring.

As the world evolves and changes due to the explosion of technology, so does mankind's ways of intellectual comprehension of informative news. The present day of news has overemphasized the meaning of fake news; which represents any form of false information that is illustrated as factual news. That tends to spread throughout the internet and the media. Misinformed news has taken over the world in so many ways, such as the birth of satirical and sketchy news, the financial motivation to publish actual false news, and difficult to sustain news.
