Spotting A Liar Rhetorical Analysis

Can you visualize what lying looks like? If so, what images come to mind? For example, will the liar’s nose growing like Pinocchio’s? Or will the liar’s pants catch on fire? Or, will the liar become fidgety, and constantly scratching his or hers nose? There are many visual presentations of lying. Yet, do these perceptions accurately indicate if someone is lying? In Seth Borenstein’s (2016) article, Experts Give Tips in Spotting Deception, Borenstein (2016) states that deciphering if someone is lying to you is not a simple task. Borenstein (2016) implies that many of our common perception of lying are actually misconceptions. To better understand deception detection, Borenstein (2016) interviewed two experts, Pamela Meyer and David Matsumoto, who are in the field of deception research. According to Borenstein (2016), with time and practice anyone can learn how to sense when they are being deceived. Borenstein’s (2016) article states that individuals should take three components into considerations if they want to better gage if they are being lied to: 1) Establish a baseline for that individual, 2) Pay attention to verbal changes, and 3) Pay attention to nonverbal changes. Borenstein (2016) states that when used together these three

Barbara Ehrenreich’s “Bait and Switch” describes the experience of going undercover as a white collar job seeker in order to observe the culture of current corporate in America, particularly the “transitional” life of those white collar worker who has been laid off and is seeking for reemployment.

A key example of a strong rhetorical device was climax ordering. When speaking about the success he achieved from his book “Liar’s Poker”, Lewis claims, “I had a career, a little fame, a small fortune and a new life narrative.” (Lewis 2). This is a perfect example of climax ordering, because Lewis states all of these new components in his life from least significant to the greatest piece to evoke a suspenseful theme for inspiration. A powerful example of a logical fallacy was glittering generality, Lewis uses this item when he says, “you are the lucky few. Lucky in your parents, lucky in your country, lucky that a place like Princeton exists that can take in lucky people, introduce them to other lucky people, and increase their chances of

Rhetoric is something that at least everyone uses in his or her everyday life. Rhetoric can be used in the form of social media, politics and even making the decision on how you are going to communicate. In the Youtube video titled In Defense of Rhetoric: No Longer Just for Liars, Professor, Dr. Ann George states rhetoric as how we persuade each other or how we make arguments. George believes we can do this by the words we use, the gestures we make and the facial appeals that can break down the language and encourage the argument one might be making.

Hawking’s argument supports realization of destruction, which relates to the pre-civil war era, “The Diary of Anne Frank”, and the LGBT+ community and allies because each group of people are being terrorized by other people who believe they are superior

The authors thesis statement is that everyone lies. In her piece she makes it evident that everyone lies and she's trying to show how people may lie. She explains it to where she gives credible examples, also she is expressing how others lie. Therefore her thesis statement is that everyone lies in one way or another.

Those telling the truth were observed to have a higher score in CBCA than liars. Truth tellers gave more details regarding location, time, and perpetual details than liars. Liars mentioned very fewer cognitive operations than those who were telling the truth. Lastly, the results also showed that combination of both nonverbal and verbal observations gave a more accurate result on who was telling the truth and who was lying than when done separately. The most nonverbal cues observed were the evasion of gaze, smiling frequency, a frequency of hand and figure movement, and speech hesitation. All these showed a reduction in frequency and time taken when a person is

lie have grown exponentially, and ways to catch someone in the act have only been amplified.

Pamela Meyers explains “how if an individual is being truthful they tend to fidget, versus a liar will freeze up there upper body” (2011). During the interview with Mary Stanton, she was fidgeting and using her hands when answering the question. This particular body slip helps indicate how Stanton could be telling the truth.

There were no other details, instead it was focused on the Jewish: not the Gypsies, disable, homosexuals. No other groups were focused on; the damage was untaught. In Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman’s 2000 documentary Paragraph 175, he sympathizes on what happened to the homosexuals during World War II and the law of Paragraph 175. The author first appeals to ethos by gathering up the remaining living victims of the holocaust and having them tell their experiences and background stories. Epstein and Friedman also strategize with pathos, by giving off startling facts about what happened to them.

Credibility- Now, I would like to consider myself an expert lie detector, but apparently binge-watching 12 seasons of Criminal Minds in 3 months does not give me those qualifications. So to better inform and assist you, my lovely audience, I did some research, mostly utilizing online materials.
