could lying be a good thing?


In one of the lectures the question " is telling a lie bad" was asked..... It could be answered that Lying is probably one of the most common wrong acts that we carry out (one researcher has said 'lying is an unavoidable part of human nature'), so it's worth spending time thinking about it.
Most people would say that lying is always wrong, except when there's a good reason for it - which means that it's not always wrong! but does this mean that we can lie when we think it is right, what if one lie leads to many!!
Below is a link that shows some information on what professionals think about learning, this will be interesting.

  2. In my opinion i think that lying is good but them on the other hand it is also bad. It depends on what you are lying bout for example if you tell a little white like and it is not going to hurt the person, or if you tell a lie to protect that person then it is good to lie. On the other hand if you are telling big lies for example someone close to you had died or you are ill and you don’t have long left people actually do tell those big lies i knew a girl from my old school who said she had cancer and she didn’t. My friend found out she was lying and asked the girl why she lied she said she “wanted to fit in” and she wanted people to pay her attention
