In recent shows (episodes 14 and 15), we looked into various ideas and notions around truth. In this episode, we investigate what motivates people to lie. With a lot of our attention focused on lies within relationships, we find out if there are any benefits to making a commitment to truth. Do you know the history and implication of the phrase, “I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God”? Do you believe that punishment for telling lies deters or encourages people to lie? Learn why and how people tell lies and acquire some personal basic skills to help you recognise deception cues that expose people who are lying to us.
