Essay on 'can lying be justified'

Answer 1

The terrorist who lies to get on board an airplane believes his lie is justifiable. He doesn’t share values with those to whom he lies, in fact he despises them. The undercover vice squad officer, drug enforcement agent, or counter-intelligence agent, are living lies. They believe their lies are righteous, as does our government. Spies who are foreign nationals pretending to be members of the country in which they are living, are another example. As is the citizen who spies against his own country in the service of a foreign power. Such a spy will be more respected by those who employ her if she was motivated by admiration for her foreign employer’s form of government, not by a desire to earn money, pursue romance, or revenge a grievance against her home employer. Each of these very serious lies are authorized by a group, organization, or government. The liar and the authorizing agent believe lying is justified, necessary to do the job, although the employer may not always respect the liar for doing so. Typically the liar does not feel guilty about telling an authorized lie. The liar disrespects the target. Guilt arises only when lying to a respected target. Many lies are opportunistic, not authorized by anyone. The target of the lie often trusts the liar, not expecting to be misled. Sometimes, as when a police officer interrogates a suspect, it is much less certain whether the truth will be told, even though the instructions are to be truthful. Opportunistic lies are the ones where justification becomes a question.

Answer 2

One in a while , we may drop in a seemingly harmless white lie even no even intant, either to protect people from the hurtful truth or to promote our self image without hurting another . yet we seldom realize that these white lies have posed as a threat to our credibility and reability as well as perhaps even starting a change reaction that may lead onto a bigger lie that may caused at the expense of another human being .
Human being after despise the feeling of guilty therefore justified our lies by saying that we are harming nobody in our process of lying . This is matter I constantly face in my coming of age as an adolocent . When I am planning to go out with friends to a theme park on a weekday , my mom would usually ask me where I was going to. I would shade and distort the truth in these instances to avoid her dissaproval and the consequences therefore I choose to lie and that I am going to my friends house for my project work , that thing is wrong but I can't stop myself . and than lastly my mom find my lie than I feel shame on myself .

so, every child and also senior don't lie for your own profit and yourself .every one have to say truth because if you only start this process than it pulls you deep and deep and can't rise from it secondly.
