Assignment 3 - Essay - Lying with Integrity
Essay on ‘Lying with Integrity’
Essay Question: Would the world be a better place if everyone always told the truth?
What is a lie? Here are some quotes from Wikipedia on the tern ‘lie’ and ‘truth’. “A lie is a type of deception in the form of an untruthful statement with the intention to deceive…”
“To lie is to state something one believes is false with the intention that it be taken for the truth by someone else”
“The meaning of the word truth extends from honesty, good faith, and sincerity in general, to agreement with fact or reality in particular.” The quote goes on to state that the word truth has no single definition in which other philosophers agree on.
On the same page on Wikipedia, it goes on to state what type of lies there are.
Telling the truth is a good thing. People will like you more if you tell the truth, it means that you are trustworthy and a nice person. You will also get on better in life if you told the truth because you get a good reputation. But is it always good to tell the truth? People say it’s hard to handle the truth, for example if a love one is dying; it’s hard to accept it. But telling them lies would also make matters worse.
Is lying part of normality? Everyone lies; even telling little ‘white’ lies. These little ‘white’ lies can, for example protects ones feelings. But this is part of normality. People wouldn’t want to hurt their loved ones feelings so little lies are OK. But if you told them the truth, then it can lead to arguments, fights and break ups. Is it really worth telling the truth for? No, so the world wouldn’t be a better place if we all told the truth.
A quote from the website stated in the bibliography – “lying should be avoided except in extreme circumstances. Bok (1978), in a classic treatment, argues that lying should be kept to a minimum because its consequences are so often undesirable.”
What is meant be “extreme circumstance”? Is it that if one has committed a crime they should lie about it? Wouldn’t it be extreme if the crime committed was lied about? In this case the world would be a better place if the truth was told. If the truth was told then crimes would be reduced and the person involved in this crime would be sentenced and justice would be done, instead if the crime was lied about then nothing would have been done and the crime carries on going.
It’s true what Bok (1978) has to say about the consequences of lying is has described ‘undesirable’ because lying can cause hate and in extreme circumstances it can lead to violence.
If the world would be a better place if we all told the truth then why do children tell lies at an early age? Parents, without knowledge of doing so, lie to their children. These may not be big lies, for example, in this quote also stated form the site stated in the bibliography, “You should never say that to your father!" The child would pick up that this is telling their dad a lie and will continue to do more. Is doing this wrong? If a child is brought up to tell the truth and that lying is bad then why do parents do this? Is it because it is better to lie at times? Is it the right thing to do? The world would be a better place if the truth was told in extreme circumstances, for example crimes and cheating, but little lies like ‘don’t tell your sister about that’ is OK, it’s like a secret and there is no harm in anyone in doing this.
So the question is; would the world be a better place if we all told the truth? Well it is a mixture. It all depends on the circumstances of the situation. Telling lies and telling the truth can both be better for the world.

Assignment 2 - Creative Writing - Smoking
Sitting on the wall of the fountains in Birmingham, I noticed a crowd of gorgeous young lads around 18, two years older than myself, whilst waiting for my friends I took my first puff of cigarette coolly. As I blew the smoke out, I playfully made circles and exhaled the smoke from my nose. I was enjoying showing off and making an impression. At that time I noticed one of the young lads looking at me and smiling. He was the good looking one out of the crowd; he was tall, about 6 feet, he had lovely short spiked blonde hair, and his eyes were sparkling baby blue and he had a wonderful smile. I couldn’t help but smile back; I was pleased he noticed me. Maybe he thought I was cool and sexy for smoking? I hoped so.
Eventually my friends turned up, I noticed my cigarette was half gone and I didn’t want it, so I offered it to my friend James. James refused and said that I should finish it off. But I felt sick and it caused a headache, but I wanted to be cool so I took one more drag and I coughed after. My friends were laughing. I threw the cigarette on the floor and put it out. My ‘friends’ called me chicken, said I couldn’t handle it, I denied it and defended myself saying that I could and that I had a whole one earlier! I was annoyed. At this point the good looking blonde lad came over and offered me some chewing gum. I accepted as I was still feeling a little sick. He introduced himself as David and asked if I wanted to chill with him and his mates. I looked at my friends, threw Kerry the packet of now 11 cigarettes and went off with David. David words were “you don’t need to impress me by smoking.... It isn’t cool!”
David knew that the cigarette was my very first whole one.
Rationale
The reason why I chose the content for this topic is because in the lecture there were debates on how people thought about smoking being cool. Some people were agreeing that smoking is attractive and sexy. I used my own experience for this topic as I was once a smoker and I didn’t enjoy the taste or feeling it left and I only did it to look ‘cool’ and mainly because of peer pressure (hence James and Kerry). The young lad, David being introduced was to show that this isn’t the case and you don’t have to smoke if you really don’t want to. This creative piece contributes to the lecture debates because I used some of their views to tell the story, for example women playing as they smoked and looking sexy.
The reason for the character of David is because I was attracted to him and I wanted to be sexy and get his attention. Which in the story I did but David knew that it was my first whole cigarette because I couldn’t finish it off. David knew that chewing gum would help shift these feelings. The style of writing was to create an atmosphere step by step in the story so they will get an image of what’s going on.
The effect of David reaction by encouraging me away from my ‘friends’ was that he knew that I liked him and that smoking isn’t what I want. David’s words saying that I don’t need to impress him by smoking and that it isn’t cool was a lesson and good advice to not give into peer pressure.
Conclusion
I feel that I have covered the topic and how it has effects on people differently, where I can’t handle a whole cigarette without feeling sick and yet my friends could. Also peer pressure is the main thing in teenagers; it’s not about being sexy and attractive but mainly being cool. It’s about image for them.

What is your degree subject (both if joint)?
BA Hons Social Care and Social Policy
Does ‘Being Bad’ relate well to the other modules you are taking?
I think it does when it comes to politics
If so, how? And if not, why not?
My reasons why is because of the debate of why these topics are classed as being bad and also the reasons behind why they were ‘bad’
.
Have you found ‘Being Bad’ too demanding, too easy, or at an appropriate level?
Being Bad has been at an appropriate level.
Do you think the list of topics covered on the module was appropriate?
Yes. It was all to do with human life and nature.
Are there any topics not included in the module that you would like to see included?
Not that I can think of, but all of them where very interesting.
Do you think that the format for classes has worked well?
Yes, I didn’t have a problem with it.
What did you think of the module team?
The module team were very good and helpful. I learnt a lot from their teaching and knowledge.
Do you think it would have been better to have had more:
Small group discussions?
No, I liked how it was, there wasn’t too many and people were individually discussing during the lecture to the whole class, which I liked because I can hear their opinions.
Discussion and debate among the class as a whole?
We had a few of these which I enjoyed, but too many would distract the class as I noticed many people weren’t listening and they were talking amongst themselves, so I feel that there were a reasonable amount of debates among the class.
Information and talk from lecturers?
I haven’t found I needed any information and if I did I knew who to go to, but the talk from the lectures, individuals talked about it amongst themselves.
The approach taken in the module is interdisciplinary (drawing on perspectives from English Literature, Film Studies, Creative Writing, Philosophy, Religious Studies, Media Studies and Politics): do you think this a useful way of approaching the topics covered in the module?
Yes as this covered areas of the classes background of what they were studying.
Do you think that interdisciplinary modules are a good idea?
Yes for some, but others may not work out.
Do you think you have benefited from the interdisciplinary approach taken in the module?
Yes because I learnt a lot this way.
Would you like to see more modules that cover this kind of subject matter?
Yes.
Are you planning to take the follow-up module PH2004 ‘It Shouldn’t Be Allowed’ at level 2?
I haven’t really thought about it, but if i am able to then i will consider taking it up.
Would you recommend ‘Being Bad’ to a friend?
Yes definitely
Do you think that the blogs (web logs) were a good idea?
I thought so yes, because it made me understand the topic more and i was able to but down my thoughts about the topic and it also showed I took an interest in the module.
What did you think of the other assessments (e.g. would it be better to have one longer assessment rather than two shorter ones?)?
I really didn’t mind. What I did found difficult was the creative writing piece, it was something I wanted to do, but because I have never done this before it took me a while to get started.
What have you learned from the module?
I have learned how society has seen the world and how in time aspects change, as this is obvious, I never thought about it like this. There were also other things that I learnt and never knew of, for example the shock of masturbation ‘being bad’ I didn’t understand why until I went to the lecture, it was still a shock of how we have changed. Masturbation is a norm, but many years ago it was a crime.

Spitting

Another thing is that spitting spread diseases. It is unhealthy and immoral! Where are peoples manners? Although you see loads of people do it and they know it is dirty, then why do they still do it? Do people actually know what diseases it causes? The disease is Tuberculosis (TB). The link below tells more about this.
www.biotopics.co.uk/newgcse/tuberculosis.html
As there are vaccinations for this, many people haven't had it. So it wont be fair that people become ill with the illness because of others dirty and un-respectable manners.

Dieting or Eating Disorder??
There is also people who find themselves un-sexy and unattractive because they are big. We all have our fat days, but as long as your healthy, fit and active then your fine. The tim

Dieting will make you sag, where as exercising will tone you up. What doesnt help peoples confidence is the media. Celebrities loosing weight. Ive thought to myself, how do they do it and how so quickly. The answer is most go under the knife. Because celebrities are dieting and being stick thin, people think they should too and its wrong. Why do people look in the magazines and think 'i want to be like them'? Be happy with how you look, and if ya not, there is seriously no need to go wild and diet so it damages your health or keep loosing wieght so theres nothing left of you. Its not healthy and it looks digusting. Its just torture to you body.

Look at the picture... Would you really feel confident and sexy if you looked like that? Men loves curves, theres really no need for people to change there figure because it looks good, because it doesnt!
For those who have an eating disorder due to depression or other issues such as family, then please seek some help.

Abuse/Neglet
The two links below informs of what types of abuse there is, some are what i have include above.
http://www.brokenspirits.com/information/forms_of_abuse.asp - This is an online community that focuses on current and past victims of different forms of abuse
http://www.devon.gov.uk/index/socialcare/older_people/adult-protection/appg/ap-alert-guide/ap-alert6.htm - This is Devons Council site that has a Social Care and Health section and this lists the different forms of abuse and the signs of them.
Why do people get negleted? Why does the person abuse or/and neglet the victim?
Some may say it is due to control. Some say that it is past events, such as a troubled childhood that influences of the person being an abuser. The link below gives some example and explains why for the reasons of these examples.
http://alcoholism.about.com/cs/abuse/a/990407.htm
A good example of neglect and abuse, which has been in the papers and news is about the young women that had been trapped and rapped by her father, Josef Fritzl and fathered at least 6 children from her. This case isnt just rape, but its abuse and neglect.

Lying with Integrity
So these are some of the examples i thought was acceptable:
These are children's' fantasies. Is lying to children acceptable?? No i don't think it is. But, these examples are part of childhood. The fact that Santa is bringing them present and also that the tooth fairy collects their baby teethe is exciting. And even though Halloween is scary, children love to dress up as their favourite scary monster. All these are just fantasies and lies. But although it is intended for the children to believe these, it doesn't harm them.
Little 'white lies' is not harmful, therefore i do not think it is bad. I think it is OK to tell a little lie.
What i do not think is acceptable is lying to save themselves from the consequences. For example, if a female cheats on their partner and lies about not doing it, is she really lying to save the pain and hurt of the partners feelings, or simple to save themselves from the wrong they did? How can she live with that guilt? How can she look in her partners eyes again knowing that she lied and cheated on them? She lied on purpose, maybe because of the shame, but either way i think that is just morally wrong.
People lie to their friends about the way they look. Maybe its just me but i can not lie to a friend, for example about their appearance, i wouldn't be a friend otherwise, i will tell them straight if what they were wearing suits them or not. I wouldn't lie to them, and honestly my friends like the fact i tell them the truth, even if its something they probably didn't want to hear. At least I'm honest and trustworthy.
Why do people lie with integrity? Is it due to guilt or humiliation of what they did was wrong? Is it because they can not face the truth? Is it because they don't want to hurt their loved ones feelings?
If it was me that was being lied to, i would be hurt and upset. Lying, in my opinion makes matters worse. Id want to know why they lied and why they felt they couldn't tell me the truth. Most importantly i could never trust that person again. I would always have doubts about them, whether they are telling me the truth. Lies destroys relationships and relationships works if there is trust. You should face the consequences of your actions, no matter how bad it is. Lying gets you no-where in life. Who would want to have a relationship with a liar that cant face the truth. That person is a coward.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A996942 - This site states why people lie. These are just a few example. Yes many maybe harmful. But Serious lies such as cheating can hurt ones feelings.

Binge Drinking

That is one reason why i do not see the point in binge drinking, but another reason is simply my health. Its OK to have a drink and enjoy yourself but why drink to harm yourself? People may not realise what damage it can do to you, and some may think that drinking all weekend is OK and because they are not doing it EVERYDAY it is not harming their body. Well sorry it is.
Another reason is that, because you cannot control the actions of too much alcohol, it becomes an advantage to the opposite sex. Rapes occur and also violence, and people my find me harsh, but i don't feel sorry for the person it happens to as they could have avoided it from happening by controlling how much they drink. Fair enough, you hear of cases of those that get their drinks spiked and i feel sorry for those But its the same when people have liver failure because of binge drinking... They only have their selves to blame.
And finally drink driving. Driving under the influence of alcohol can cause death and accidents. Is it really worth taking the risk?
People must know their limits, for the sake of themselves and others... And still enjoy themself.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/1930417.stm - The BBC News report on how alcohol and it mentions that 2 days of binge drinking does effect the body.

Bad Behaviour - Litter
Especially when it is dustbin day and if the black bags have been ripped, due to cats or foxes during the night, then there will be a mess, and it isn’t dust-man job to pick up the remaining. Their job is to pick up our household rubbish each week. But when they have gone, some owners

My mom always cleans up the mess. Its respect and it’s looking after the area.
Also, the council have help target littering, giving fines out and also putting extra bins in the street. Nearly every street has one now, and there is always one! So littering is no excuse. In the city centre there are numerous of bins and to be fair you don’t normally see much litter. The main place I find, are roads and streets and also parks. I hate it when you see litter in the river or pond. It is dangerous to nature. And it doesn’t do much for the community either. and it causes polution. I think littering makes the place look run down.
What’s wrong in cleaning up your own mess? What is wrong in putting the rubbish in the bin? I was brought up with these manners, so there is no excuse to not use them. Also I know is it the right thing to do.
My comment on Claire's blog
We are the top of the food chain. We kill animals to survive, and meat is one source of food. Some people become vegetarian because they don’t agree in killing animals and eating them. But meat gives us protein, which we need as nourishment. But I do not agree in killing household pets and eating them! That is unacceptable. Farmers breed animals so they can be killed and we can eat them. Pets are there as pets, and not food!

My Comment on Nat's Blog
I totally agree on Princess Di.
Stalking is unacceptable full stop, and if I was being stalked by some one, then the police would do something about it, but if it is a celebrity being stalked, then that’s a different story. It’s "OK" in the presses eye to stalk a celebrity... But unfortunately, it killed someone very special.

Being Too Religious?
I don't mind if people prayer, it's their choice. I don't mind if they decide to read, for example, the Bible in public or in front of me... As long as they don't force me into the religion.
I love to hear about the different religions and their beliefs, but because I'm interested in what they have to say, it doesn't mean I'm interested in becoming what they are. For example, Jehovah Witnesses... I find them, no offense to anybody, but when they knock on my do

Its about equal opportunity, why should i be offended if someone wants to sit on the park bench and read their Bible, because i don't think its acceptable? Also why should Jehovah Witnesses persuade people to join their religion?
Another thing which i don't really like about Jehovah Witnesses is that they don't celebrate birthdays and Christmas and also blood transfusion. I really don't understand why its against their religion to accept this and the cost of it is a death of someone they love. Is their religion much more important than keeping their love ones alive because its against their religion?? To me, that is being too religious. I couldn't let someone i love die because my religion says so, especially if it was avoidable.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7367092.stm
The link above is about a woman, who is a Jehovah Witness, had a blood transfusion after she refused it. I think that Hospitals, despite their religion, should go ahead and be able to do blood transfusion, because this saves lives and it is their job to do this, no matter what 'religion' says. Its basically murder i think, letting people die.

Bad Behaviour - Swearing/Verbal Abuse
- Is some swearing words acceptable??
- What is the reason for these words?
- Why do people find it offensive?
- Who is to blame?
- Why, when swearing, it results to verbal abuse or even violence?
Mainly when i swear it's because i have made a mistake. I try not to swear in public because these words are not nice heard, they are disgusting. Especially in today's society, it isn't just a single word; people, including young children use these vile words to insult others and /or there parents. But who is to blame? Parents? Television? Public? To some extent i think parents are to blame, especially those who swear in front of their children, but children do pick up words from school, so i think public are to blame too.
Why is that people also get offended by the single or double fingers being showed? I think it is immature that people do this, its just rude and basically it shows that they have no manners.
Yet when people do swear, others find it really funny. Why is this? Is it only funny because of how the person said it? Is it only funny and less offensive when it's used in a joke or in a comedy? We get mixed reactions all the time. Its wrong and offensive when we hear two adults swearing in the street, yet if a comedian said it, then it is funny.
The link below tells how swearing is related to the brain. It's very interesting and it is also something that i never knew about.

Bad Comedians
If we made comments like that, people would look at us and give us dirty looks because it’s wrong. But as these are comedians, it’s funny and nothing wrong with it, but some do feel offended.
Also some people get taken the ‘piss’ because of being stupid, but when the comedians do it, its

I feel that in today’s society, people have no sense of humour. And comedians today can only tell jokes, and not make a something true funny.

My comment on Debbies Blog
"I agree, graffiti does make the neighbourhood look bad and a mess, it gives a bad reputation for the area. But i also agree that some do look good. Its what they call 'tagging' that i find look messy and unattractive, but the actual pictures, they are an art and i must admit it take talent to do that as i could not do that myself.
Fair enough walls is one thing bad, but properties such as postboxes, telephones boxes and electrical grey boxes is just not acceptable.
Maybe if those who have the talent to do art like that was put on a course and stop them from doing it in the streets, would this stop them?? I think the crime would fall because those who can actually do the art is getting something positive from it."

Bandits and Outlaws

I suppose, for example if i use a loan shark, they will give money to poor people, those who cannot afford a loan and are able to pay back bit by bit, but the loan shark is robbing from them and there is nothing they can do about it. I think that this is wrong and unacceptable.
Poor people, i think, will do anything to have a little bit of money, so getting involved with loan sharks is the only option, also Robin Hood in these peoples eyes, are doing good and is a genuinely nice person.
Heros or Villians??
Loan sharks are villians, they dont care about anyone but themselves and if they are gaining from these poor people, but on the other hand, the story of Robin Hood, would be seen as a hero. Is this because he doesnt ask for anything in return? Maybe so.
Or is because a loan shark is classed as a law breaker and criminals?? Robin Hood wasnt.

Body Modification
In the lecture it was interesting about the different ways in which you can have piercing, such as under the skin and have metal plates on the forehead so you are able to screw 'horns' in the corner. I don't find these attractive but when i see people in the street with these big ear-ring which has a hole so you can see through the ear, then i don't stop and stare, i just accept it, because i see it as normal. Same when it comes to tattoos, i like to see wh

On the other hand, when it comes to piercing on the penis or vagina then i don't really agree to it, i wouldn't like to have it done to myself or partner, but i also don't see this as abnormal as it is becoming a popular thing.
But I'm not a fan if these tattoos and piercing get too much and start to look ugly. For example, the man in the picture, his ear-lope is that stretched he can fit a Starbucks carton and his arm through the hole. I find that disgusting!!
The history was interesting and what i didn't like was that the male was deprived and they had they penis's/balls taken away... That is abuse and against human rights surely??
The picture is from Google images.
Also i came across, and i would like you to look at the links, the reason why i never put the picture up was just in case some people may feel uncomfortable, both links are penis's and one is piercing only and the other is a single piercing and a tattoo. To be honest i do like this because it is pretty and it is very detailed, I'm sure this person went through a lot of pain and I'm sure he enjoys to show off his creation. Take a look!!!

Masturbation
People may find that masturbation is embarrassing. I know loads of male friends

During the lecture we spoke about different phrases in which masturbation is sometimes called, for example, whilst looking on the Internet i can across some for females and also the history of it. It was interesting to learn that in 1870 masturbation was thought to be the cause of germs such as syphilis and gonorrhea. Some of these phrases include flick the bean, petting the kitty and unbuttoning the fur coat.
A little poem here:
Thy likeness begets such strange self flattery,
That touching myself, all seems done to thee.
Myself I embrace, and mine own hands I kiss,
And amorously thank myself for this.
- Sappho 600 BC
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A427204
For male masturbation it is described that the male gender find there genitals a source of amusement and amazement.
This site also gives terms in which masturbation is also called for men, these include spanking and beating the meat.
Also a little poem:
Under the spreading chestnut tree
The village blacksmith sat
Amusing himself
By abusing himself
And coming off in his hat
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A219061
Also on the BBC website, one part talks about masturbation, what it is? Is it wrong? And is it bad for your health? The answer is no and it can actually relieve stress and it also releases happy hormones called endorphins.
So people you can enjoy and be happy!

My Comment on Kimberley's Blog
"I totally agree that masturbation is maybe stereotyped and its more acceptable for the more younger generation. But in Mikes comment that at his age he is still masturbating and enjoying it shows that masturbation isn't for a specific 'age'. I don't see any harm in masturbating if it's what you want to do, i don't see why others should feel disgusted if you get to an age where they see it's wrong."

Bad Behaviour - Stalking

Personally if some-one has taken an interest in you and they don't know what to say or not sure if you would like them, to save embarrassment that person is likely to find out from some one else what you are into and stuff like that. I wont call that stalking, that isn't really a problem unless it get more personal.
Stalking isn't funny, it is serious. I was also stalked at night on my way home and i was almost mugged, the reason why he didn't get my belongings in because i wasn't going to give it him, and then he hit me, as i was still standing, he ran off into the car and went.
Stalking and wanting to know someone are totally different.

Bad Behaviour - Shoplifting/Theft/Mugging
I believe that there is a different between shoplifting and theft. Shoplifting is taking goods from a shop, so its not a personal approach, no-one really gets hurt unless its serious. Theft on the other hand is taking goods that belongs to some-one, therefore this is traumatising enough, especially they're being broken into their own home or mugged in the street. If being mugged in the street then it can get violent.
Even though i believe that there is a difference between the two, i think they are still very bad.There is really no need to steal from shops, it doesn't matter if the person is stealing food to feed the family or stealing for their own pleasure (CDs, DVDs etc.) and it is out of order to mug someon

The link above is interesting to read. Its an an article from The Sun and its about the UK being number 1 for burglary, even if crime has fallen since 1995. I think that its still too high.

Being Bad Cinema "Kids" (1995)

My comment on Matthew Wards' "Shoplifting" Blog
"I agree that shoplifting is worse than mugging an old lady, personally i think that this is more serious than stealing from a shop because its a more personal approach that would harm the old lady.I totally agree that if prices of items were cheaper, then there be a decrease in crime. But maybe it's the thought of not getting caught that makes these people shoplift all the more??? Knowing that they can get away with it??"

Bad places to visit
Or maybe a day out to a Church... To see and get the atmosphere on how and why people are "too religious". This would give us Their View to why they are, what we seem, "too religious"
