    young age our parents taught us to always tell the truth and never to lie. Although‚ telling the truth is the morally correct thing to do‚ I believe there are scenarios when lying is acceptable. One should not make a habit of lying‚ but know when the right time and the right place is to lie. Lying for the greater good to spare someone’s feelings‚ to keep a child’s innocence‚ or to even save a life are just a few examples when I think lying can be tolerated. People say “tell me the truth‚ I can

    The Great War Is The Great Lie WWI was spawned in 1914 and lasted until 1918‚ four years. The way people mainly got sucked into doing this crazy war is that the government would print these posters that persuaded people to join the army by it looking nice‚ otherwise known as false advertising if you wish. The main cause of WWI was in 1914 when Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated. The war started the same year and conflict spread across the world very quickly. On the outbreak of war in

He achieves this by exploiting the successive effects on human awareness. He suggests that originally humans were "an artistically creating subject" as he puts it. Whose essential human determination is the construction of metaphors? Due to evolution‚ humankind developed a capacity

    PIECE ONE Who we are is truly tested when we encounter conflict The true test of someone’s character is not determined by how we deal with conflict in our life‚ but how we deal with all the aspects of our lives‚ for example; how we are when we are happy‚ grieving or angry. Our maturity levels also play a huge part in defining who we are. There is no doubt that conflict alters our emotions‚ thus it effects our actions‚ but this does not determine who we are. It only shows how we act in times of

    should be done before the end of the day or the end of their life.

I believe it is unethical to advertise products as being scarce if that’s not the truth. There are numerous scriptures in the bible about lying. The ninth
