Self-Evaluation

1) What score do you think you deserve? Here is the rubric:

Through introduction reader could understand the thesis of my statement.

arguments are based off of opinions and personal feelings.
3) What could you have done better?

Research

I did my best for writing the classical argument.

5) Which part of the classical argument did you use the most poorly?

Research which I found to support my thesis is not accurate to support my thesis.

6) What's your strategy to make your second draft better? My narration is strong. I do a good job explaining the foundations of the issue, and I prepare my audience to hear my argument.

Finding more proper research to support my thesis is my strategy to make my second draft better. 

First draft

Introduction
 Broadly defined, 'lying includes intentional falsification and deceitful concealment'. Also defined, lying is a perfectly ordinary event. Whether willing or not, People lie about 1.5 times each day. When we have first encounter with someone, we lie three times in ten minutes . Liars lie, but they are not alone. Ordinary people who value and practice a high degree of honesty also lie. Physicians and nurses lie to patients to ease their distress. Social psychologists lie to research subjects in studies of human behavior. Lie is inevitably needed, Lie is instinct of human to achieve or protect something.

Research
 Through extensive empirical studies of adults' and children's motives for lying, researcher Paul Ekman compiled a list of nine different reasons people lie. According to Ekman, common reasons people lie are to avoid punishment and to obtain rewards. People also lie to protect others from punishment, to protect themselves and others from the threat of physical harm, to get out of an awkward social situation, to avoid embarrassment, to maintain privacy and to exercise power over others. people lie to maintain their privacy. Philosopher David Nyberg has also recognized the privacy motive, noting that "we have learned to use deception and to gain and protect privacy."

 Previous research shows that a person’s first instinct is to serve his or her own self-interest. And research also shows that people are more likely to lie when they can justify such lies to themselves. Many experiments have shown that people do indeed burnish their estimation of  their own talent, autonomy, and rationality. One example is the Lake Wobegon effect,named after the mythical town in which all the children are above average： a majority of people rate themselves above average in any trait that maters to them. This example can show that we want to have our own cushion to protect us from being hurt from the harsh realities : we have optimal margin of illusion to protect us.


Refutation
 Lying to protect privacy is not always a morally acceptable departure from the general principle of truthfulness. Crime such as child molestation, sexual harassment or exploitation, privacy is no excuse or justification for lying.
 My qualified defense is that lying some times is a morally justifiable response to others seeking information. Not only do we make exceptions to the prohibition against lying; sometimes we enthusiastically approve of it. If a doctor tells a bereaved husband that his wife died instantly in the crash, rather than the truth – that she spent her last hours in horrific pain – we applaud the doctor’s compassion. When a football manager convinces his team of his complete confidence in their ability to recover from two goals down at half-time, even though he is inwardly despairing, we call it inspirational leadership. We call the lies we like ‘white lies’. White lies can be morally acceptable from the general principle of truthfulness. 


conclusion
 What’s certain is that our ability to deceive is innate, and false speech comes naturally to our lips. ‘The human capacity to lie,’ says the literary critic and humanist philosopher George Steiner,is ‘indispensable to the equilibrium of human consciousness and the development of man in society.’ Like it or not, we are all born liars. However we have to use lie in accurate circumstance. Even though we are born liars, we should not justify lying.

Lying is instinct of human, Truth of lie

what I hope to learn from this source
reasons being categorized

final thoughts
There are a lot of motives for lying. The most common reasons people lie because they want to protect themselves and avoid threatened self-estee

Week 8 - Narration

 Lies are slippery things, and endlessly various. 
There are the lies we tell to simplify a complicated storyor to protect our own privacy
, and lies we tell to get outof unwelcome social situations. 
Then there are the more seriouslies: the ones we tell to cover up misdemeanours or 
to getwhat we want. There are lies of commission and lies of omission.
There are liesFrom Born Liars and lies told to shield oneself or another personfrom
 physical or emotional harm. 

  we can categorize motives for lying

1)To avoid being punished. This is the most frequently mentioned motive by either children or adults. The punishment may be for a misdeed or for an accidental mistake. 

2) To obtain a reward not otherwise readily obtainable. This is the second most commonly mentioned motive, by both children and adults. 
3) To protect another person from being punished. 
4) To protect oneself from the threat of physical harm. This is different from being punished, for a threat of harm is not for a misdeed. An example would be a child who is home alone telling a stranger at the door that his father is asleep now, and to come back later. 
5) To win the admiration of others. 
6) To get out of an awkward social situation. Examples are claiming to have a babysitter problem to get out of a dull party, or ending a telephone conversation by saying there is someone at the door. 
7) To avoid embarrassment. The child who claims the wet seat resulted from water spilling, not from wetting her pants, is an example if the child did not fear punishment, only embarrassment. 
8) To maintain privacy, without giving notification of the intention to maintain some information as private. 
9) To exercise power over others, by controlling the information the target has.
