1) When do we stop turning our personal power over and responsibilities to liars?
The day that we make a step forward and accept responsibility for our actions. We turn to liars and blame them for our deception and our wrong doing yet we do not realize that we allow them to lie by blaming them. We enable liars to lie. We give them reason through guilt and emotion. We learn from our mistakes of trusting liars to not trusting very often. We put our trust in certain people and allow them to ruin our trust not just for those certain people but many others as well. We allow liars to take not only our trust but also faith in good people, which can be a form of personal power. It is our responsibility to protect ourselves from the people that may hurt us emotionally and we must accept that we are responsible for trusting others, keeping our personal power in tact.
2) Ericsson connects to other writings in class.
Ericsson explains 10 different types of many lies and how everyday people lie. The connection I have made between Ericsson’s point of view and what we have been learning in class is that from behind a computer screen vicious comments can be posted as a façade that people chose to have from the safety of their anonymous profile. Online, people create these images or perceptions of themselves, which can be hurtful and harmful to others at times. This very common façade may or may not reflect a person’s true personality. Throughout the class we have discussed the reasons people chose to use a façade online and how common it is.
