LIES
Where is and or should lying be acceptable or more culturally acceptable? We all know that in a relationship hoesty is the best policy. But do we always follow that? People are caught in lies all the time. But are they caught in more lies when telling them in FTF communication or CMC? When telling a lie is it easier to tell it when the person is directly in your face or is it easier done over the computer or text? Most often times people feel that the text or computer based communication would be the easier route to lie to someone. Lying is never the way to go, but in the circumstance that it is necessary, I feel that FTF is never the way to go. It is a lot harder when communicating FTF to not have facial expressions and or body language change in a way that it is easy to tell that you are lying. Body language and temperment is the best way in telling what someone feels and or is trying to get across is very noticeable. Thus I ask the question when is lying easiest and should it be used?

Bobby,
ReplyDeleteI think deception is "easiest" in an environment in which nonverbals cannot be read. Although, research shows that there are not necessarily any definite "giveaways" in our nonverbal communication, it differs by person. So it probably has more to do with who you are lying to than how you are doing it. Don't forget to refer to your readings.
