The Truth Essay

Distinctively visual representations allow the audience to envisage different purposes crafting emotions which stay with us forever. Graphic depiction is a fundamental characteristic within distinctively visual, thus the audience is able to be exposed to the intense illustrations exemplified by composers. Spudvilla’s portrayal of “Woolvs in the sitee” demonstrates the child’s inability to reconcile with himself. Contrasting to this notion; the playwright “Shoe-horn Sonata” to expose the brutal reality of POW camps during WWII. Therefore, distinctively visual forces the audience to succumb to the barriers society creates.

Someone once stated,” Tell me the cold truth, but don’t paint me a pretty lie.” As we walk our journey of life, we come to understand that the truth is harsh and yields to no one;moreover, the lie’s hurt increases as it grows. Honesty is important in all situations because eventually the truth shows and people base how they connect you in their life by your honesty or lies.

The definition of truth is something that is always valid and cannot be proved invalid. Radiolab's podcast “Truth Warriors”, is about people who pursue the truth. In this podcast Neil deGrasse Tyson proves to a barista that he didn’t put whip cream in his hot cocoa and Errol Morris proves whether a photo of the Crimean War was staged or authentic. Neil believed that the barista did not put in whip cream, but the barista insisted otherwise. To prove him wrong, Neil then made the barista put more whip cream into his hot cocoa and the whip cream dipped once then stayed afloat on the hot cocoa proving to the barista that he did not put in the whip cream originally. Neil did not think the truth was that the cream sank to the bottom so he “fought”

As with playing the “What If” game (asking “what if” incessantly to explore each aspect of a situation), so did a chain of events occur that caused this relationship to form.

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

People often view the concept of the truth as _______. To many people, the truth is important and must not be ignored, but others lie so frequently that it is seemingly part of their speech pattern. The problem is that lying can have huge effects, not only on the person telling the lies or omitting information, but also on the people being given these falsehoods, and the effect of this deception can be devastating.

Randy, from the novel, Alas, Babylon, believes in the same thing as me. He never wants to and will tell a lie even though it sometimes may be necessary. In this novel Alas, Babylon, Randy had to answer a person’s question. The person that asked however was not trustworthy and often was nicknamed bigmouth. So, Randy answered the persons question with the truth but not the whole truth because he could not afford getting the information spread and create a panic in the town. Even though Randy could have easily came up with a lie to protect the valuable truth, he did not. Randy came up with a way to not tell a lie but protect the important information at the same time. It tells us that he really values the importance of the truth and I respect that about

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.

Today, people are born into a generation where people care only for themselves more than ever. People want the best and nothing but the best. In Jean Twinge’s essay, “An Army of One: Me,” it focuses on the self-esteem that people have and how it is related to the happiness in which people want to feel. Having high self-esteem will contribute to being more confident, which will lead to an individual taking on their goals head on. Also, both Leslie Bell’s, “Selections from Hard to Get: Twenty-Something Women and the Paradox of Sexual Freedom,” and Daniel Gilbert’s, “Immune to Reality,” offer insight on the matter of pursuit of happiness. Each individual has their own way of knowing when they are happy and only they will know when the

Lying the one form of communication that is the untruth expressed to be the truth. Immanuel Kant states that lying is morally wrong in all possible ways. His hatred for lying has made him “just assumed that anyone who lied would be operating with a maxim like this: tell a lie so as to gain some benefit.”(Landau,pp.171) This is true for a vast number of people, they will lie in order to gain a certain benefit from the lie rather than the truth.It is similar to if you play a game of truth or dare, some rather pick a dare because it would release them from having to tell the truth. However, those who do pick truth still have a chance to lie to cover up the absolute truth.People lie in order to cover who they truly are. Even if you lie to benefit someone or something else, it would not matter to Kant because he does not care for the consequences. If you lie but have a good intention it is not the same for Kant, he would argue that you still lied no matter the consequence that a lie is a lie. “ While lying, we accuse others for not being transparent. While being hypocrites ourselves, we expect others to be sincere.” (Dehghani,Ethics) We know how it feels to be lied to by a person, so in order to not have the feeling returned, we hope the person will be truthful. We rather be surrounded by truthful people constantly despite all the lies that some people tell. No

The Great The Corruptness of the American Dream The nineteen twenties was a decade of renaissance characterized by the American Dream- the widespread aspiration of Americans to live better than their parents. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, contains themes that continue to be relevant today. In his novel, Fitzgerald reprehends the American dream by describing its characteristics: the pseudo-relationship between money and happiness, the superficiality of the rich, and the class strife between the rich and the poor. “The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement” (Mailer 97).

As a whole, being truthful to one another can reflect on another’s behavior. For example, as a parent, showing a reflective behavior of truth to your children helps them understand the importance of being honest to somebody. In The Aeneid, Aeneas displays veritas when he tells Dido the truth about their marriage and how he never agreed to it. Some examples of how our culture lacks truth can be exhibited through criminal investigations. Testifying in court involves an oath where anyone who is up on the stand is required to tell the whole truth, if not they face the consequence of perjury with fines and/or imprisonment.

The first issue is what actually is truth? There are many things that we perceive to be true, depending on perspective or our beliefs, which differ from one person to the next, known as

Likewise, care should be taken that truth that’s spoken for self-satisfaction does not impair someone else’s life. Similarly, we should always bear in mind that at times lie can also be beneficial to say if, it brings happiness to others. Hence, if the truth is spoken with the purpose of destruction of something or someone then
