The speech How to spot a liar by Pamela Meyer is extremely interesting. She also wrote a book called Liespotting. She describes how everyone lies and with the right techniques you could spot a liar.

We cannot go a day without lying to someone even if it’s the littlest lie. People who are trained to lies get to the 90% of the time. The ones who are not trained usually get 54% of the time.

    After reading Stephanie Ericsson’s article titled “ The ways we lie” , I chose to write about delusion. In Ericsson’s article she said that delusion is closely related to other forms of lying such as dismissal , omission , and amnesia. It is a form of protecting yourself from facts that you don’t want to face. Instead of taking a good look at yourself and being totally honest with yourself , you allow logic to go out the window and make up excuses for your actions. You may truly believe what you are telling yourself . That makes delusion a cunning way to excuse your behavior and your actions. On a grander scale, some people may delude unpleasant or overwhelming facts ( such as “The Revelation” (or second coming) because to truly adknowledge…

    In “The Ways We Lie” by Stephanie Ericsson, she talks about the many different types of lies. She says that we all lie, and we all lie in most of the ways she mentions. In my opinion, I agree with most of what she says. It is true that we all lie in some way, but we might not all lie in the same way. Some people like to use the “lie of omission” while others might to tend towards the “white lie.” While these lies, in my opinion, tend to be the most common, some of her other example of lying are also used widely. “Ignoring the plain facts” is used all over the news and media, and her example of the Church in the 1960s is one of the most famous. This is also an example of irony, because the Church itself was the one “ignoring the plain…

    Describe the relationship between heart rate and workload. Why does the heart respond this way? VO2 max depends on cardiac output, which then both are dependent on stroke volume and heart rate. As demand for ATP in the working muscle increases, the demand for oxygen transportation by the cardiovascular system increases concurrently.
