Business:Entrepreneurship
I have heard the term "signed affidavit," more than I'd like to these days and it's a sad reflection of what we've become as a country.
We are a country of liars.
From on article written on September 4, 2013 on ScienceDaily dot com:
LSU Associate Professor Sean Lane and former graduate student Kathleen Vieria conducted a study which was accepted for publication in the Journal of Applied Research and Memory Cognition.
False descriptions are deliberate flights of the imagination -- details and descriptions that we invent for something that didn't happen. As it turned out, these lies were far easier for Lane's test subjects to remember.
The same is not true for false denials. This kind of lie -- denying something that actually happened -- is often brief, and its cognitive demand is therefore much smaller.
When the media fabricates a story, they are using their imagination which feeds into the lie that they eventually believe.
Ignore the urge to tell a lie; any kind of lie. Whether it be a white lie, black lie, or half-truths, tell the truth. Always.
