...language. Depending on the context of the person, a simple hand motion or a crossing of the lips can have varied meanings, sometimes positive or negative. A good observant can tell whether a person is telling the truth or shying away from it just from his/her body posture, facial expressions or even through the tone of voice. In a work environment, communication and interactions among staffs and members do not always hold a sense of honesty as one would expect. People often do not tell the truth during interviews, meetings or interrogations. However, such deceiving acts can be caught if one were to carefully monitor a person's behavior and body language. What takes place in the mind in many cases transfers to body movements and postures that mean something, which act as cues whether that person is being honest or not. Here I am going to discuss some of the many body languages that people show when they are being dishonest or lying, with or without being aware of them. Liars usually do not make eye contact or avoid it when they are making a false statement. If a person has been giving you good eye contact throughout the conversation and if he or she starts looking down or away when they reach to the crucial bits, then that might be a hint that the person is not telling the truth. People when lying can seem rigid or fidget and look uncomfortable or make hand to face gestures. They may touch...

...and Career Plan Building Activity: Reasoning Aptitude both worked in concert to give me an overall view of my moral and ethical outlook in an academic and professional capacity. I utilized these two test to aid in fortifying my strengths and recognizing and building on my weakness. The Ethical Lens Inventory (ELI) determined my preferred lens as Rights and Responsibilities and my Core Values as Autonomy and Rationality/Sensibility. Combined these results state the truth of the range of my moral capacity. ELI summarizes my definition of ethical behavior as one who fulfills their duties as an individual and responsible adult who makes responsible choices that benefit the community. I am an individual first and part of the community second, but in all things I seek truth, justice, fairness, and equality. The Your Gift section of the Inventory best describes my view of what everybody should bring to any situation, Self-Knowledge and Free Will. I use my resources and skills to gather and verify information and truth for myself and use it in accordance with what is right and true. Every coin has two sides. The Inventory’s negative traits state I’m can become greedy or judgmental and in my quest to my “Responsible Self” I could face failure, exhaustion, and a lack of satisfaction in the goals I strive to achieve. The ELI as it pertains to my academic behavior is the same attitude I have in my professional and personal lives. First and foremost, I always treat others with respect...

...and Ethical Language are about facts. Discuss. In order to analyse whether language, religious or ethical are about facts it is vital to define facts. According to Honderich a fact can be defined as the worldly correlation of a true proposition, in other words a state of affairs make a statement true or false. There are two main schools of thought as to how ethical and religious language is to be treated. The cognitivists argue that statements about religion and ethics possess truth value, and hence can be known. As such the case such statements can be about facts. For example ‘Hitler is evil’ or ‘God exists’ is knowable in the sense that it corresponds to events that are occurring in the world. This view presents the correspondence theory of truth, which is what has now become to be known as early Wittgenstein’s writings. It argues that statements are true so far as in it paints a picture about the world it must relate to and derive meaning out of. As such the case religious and ethical truths are to be discovered. Ethical naturalists such as F.H. Bradley have argued that ethical language is about facts of the world. It is argued that moral statements which are subjective statements about values can be translated into facts or objective statements of fact. Thus it can be argued that ‘Hitler is evil’ is a true statement on the account that he was responsible for mass murder. This view was challenged by Hume. Hume argued that it is not possible to move from an ‘ought’...

...counselor you have to work with your client’s growth process. Two ways to do this are to apply grace and truth to the sessions and to be able to look at the clients problems in a non-judgmental way. A Christian counselor has to be able to apply both grace and truth in their sessions. “Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another” (Ephesians 4:25). Christian counseling can be very painful for the client because they have to admit things they do not want to, confronts things they do not want to and take responsibility for things someone could only dream of. But, by being truthful with grace the pain can help the client to overcome their faults and problems and begin to heal and grow closer to Christ. “These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another; render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace” (Zech. 8:16). A good counselor who someone tells their problems to needs to be able to support their client and bear the truth. Confrontation is good if given in moderation. A counselor has to confront their client on large and small issues in order for the client to grow and become a mature follower of Christ. Being truthful reflects on God’s character and we identify with Christ (Jn. 14:6). A Christian counselor needs to consider and apply Ephesians 4:15 “Speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ.”...

...What is meant by the media convergence with regard to technology, and how has it affected everyday life? This is defined as a process of combining telecommunications and computers thus making them into one form. It seems like everyone has a smart phone that can literally be a mini computer that fits into the palm of their hand. With the advancement of technology you can stay in the comfort of your own home and watch television, listen to music, shop, go to school, and work without leaving the comfort of your home. Using either a computer or your smart phone you can communicate with friends and family online so you don’t have to write a letter and it will get there instantly. This has defiantly changed the way that people communicate with one another on an everyday basis; when my daughter has something to do after school she just sends me a quick text to let me know what is going on, when talking to my family, we usually talk on Facebook because it is right there and doesn’t cost a long distance phone call and we can share things instantly. I think that in so many ways technology has made things so much easier to keep in touch with the things that are going on in the world, when important things happen you can know almost as soon as it does. What are some of the issues that result from dependency on modern media? Describe at least three issues. Some of the issues that stem for depending on modern media so much is the loss of human interaction; we have to be exposed to other...

...Nowra does not criticize the values of society, but rather condemns individuals who act on their own accord to achieve success. Such characters do not show inspiration as they act selfishly to further their cause. In addition, the loneliness of characters who fail to embrace change and admit wrong are revealed as they lose their companions. Nowra divulges the loneliness of individuals who refuse to admit wrong when confronted by the truth. Nick, a representation of society, refuses to adapt his ideologies when he faces truth. At the beginning, Nowra conveys how Nick is given a chance to right his wrongs. The fact he is in the ‘dark’ symbolizes his ability to embrace a new change. Regardless of the option, he labels the patients as “madmen” from a “funny farm” and rejects them from being ‘normal’ individuals. When the lights are turned on and Roy is standing there, he is given the option to embrace ‘change’ through which Roy will “direct.” However, he chooses to follow Lucy and exit the theatre, symbolizing his inability to confront the truth and flee, hence demonstrating his stubborn nature. Later on, he is displayed giving orders to Lewis on how to direct. Nick believes that ordering others in making them “do what you want” is the characteristics of an ideal director. This is contrasted to Lewis’ view on how to direct as he takes the patients views into account. As a result, Nick is portrayed as having a manipulative nature where he likes to be in ‘control.’ The fact he ignores...

...Is Science in the Bible? The need to answer this very question has come about all too often throughout time. It has at times driven a wedge between men because in order to gain knowledge and understanding of the truths of the world, Science deems it necessary to prove the truths by presenting the facts through a systematic process. The Bible on the other hand is presented to man by God and offers knowledge of the truths of the world through having faith and building a relationship with Him, which brings forth the knowledge needed to understand the world. In fact many times being a Christian can mean it must be impossible to be a scientist at the same time. But what many people do not understand is that Christianity and science are quite compatible. It has also been said that Science and Scripture are in no way at odds with each other but rather two distinct ways of thinking. On one hand are the believers of creation whom take the Bible as the only truth needed to understand the world. While on the other hand stands the evolutionist who seeks to explain and understand the truths of the world created by a God that cannot be seen or touched. For many years man has worked diligently to explain and prove the phenomena of the universe. This field of study as we know it is called Science. In today’s world Science can best be described as a systematic method used by scientists to prove the phenomena of the universe through observations, measurements, testing and documented...

...book Hurt People Hurt People. Wilson examines the role that a person’s development from childhood plays in their adult life. She explains that the truth that children accept about themselves carry over into adulthood and cause problems. In essence, Wilson argues that “what we live with, we learn, what we learn, we practice. What we practice, we become, and what we become has consequences” (Wilson 2001, 86). Children accept their identities from the reality they perceive from their parents (Wilson, 40). The failure to process the identity perceived from parents causes children to establish and reinforce unbiblical patterns of living that continue into adulthood, and eventually lead to the same result in the lives of their children (71). The key to correcting the problem is to make new choices based upon biblical truth that will result in new consequences that will change lives (87). For instance, a person who accepts the need to be perfect to define their worth must realize that the Bible declares that all people are flawed; this allows the person to accept that they have the right to be wrong and accept flaws without obsessing over them (122). Strengths and Weaknesses Wilson’s approach has two strengths in particular that I feel are very important in the counseling process. First, she highlights the effect that truth, or perceived truth, has on lives. I would guess that your average person does not realize the way their lives have been affected by what they accept as true from...

...Reputation is most certainly an integral part of leadership. One’s reputation can either help or hinder their objective. Reading your post on Tyson’s reputation reminded me of my own reputation at my current place of employment, it instills fear in nonconformists. This can sometimes be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your outlook. At work, I’m viewed as a safety conscious, strict (by the book), well-organized, and technically proficient leader. These traits may seem likeable and widely accepted by most; however, that’s far from the truth. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Because of the ingrained culture of “Where there’s chaos there’s cash,” people at my current place of employment are often reluctant to change and therefore try their best not to conform to any form of it (necessary/unnecessary). “Where there’s chaos there’s cash,” simply put, means if the task(s) being performed is unorganized, then there’s a potential to make more money. My reputation have attracted people much like myself (safety conscious, organized, etc) to my team and deterred those that did not share the same values, morals, and work ethics. This works great for me at times because it lets me know that the individuals that chose to be a part of my team accept me for the person I am and what I stand for. This is evident in my daily dealings with them and the way they execute their assigned task(s). On the other hand, because of my reputation, I’m depicted as an outsider and often challenged...

...20-30 a. The bases for shareholders' and creditors' suits against CD&A under state common law include: • Breach of contract: The relationship between CD&A and Lestrad is contractual and requires that the CPAs' performance be rendered in a competent manner. The shareholders and creditors may claim breach of contract as third-party beneficiaries of the contract between the CPAs and Lestrad, since it could be held that the contract was entered into for their benefit and therefore they are in privity with the CPAs. • Negligence: The shareholders and creditors could assert an independent claim of negligence in addition to the action for breach of contract. Negligence will be established when the CPAs fail to exercise reasonable care, taking into account such superior skill and knowledge the CPAs have or hold themselves out as having. Despite their lack of contractual privity, the shareholders and creditors will probably be able to successfully assert this action if they can show that they are members of a class of persons intended to benefit from the services performed by the CPAs and that this was reasonably foreseen by the CPAs. • Actual fraud or constructive fraud: Recent court decisions have substantially eroded the privity barrier faced by third parties. CD&A may be held liable for actual fraud if it can be shown that they intentionally deceived the shareholders and creditors. CD&A may be held liable for constructive fraud if there are deficiencies or lapses in their...

...Explain the difference between the “common-knowledge” material in a research paper and the material from sources to which you must give credit. Common knowledge is knowledge that is known by everyone or nearly everyone, usually with reference to the community in which the term is used. A Good example of common knowledge would be that you only drive when the light is green except when making a right turn in some states. It is important to give credit when doing a research paper, if you use quotes from another person to support your research. This information my come from books, journals or newspaper articles etc. Give an example from your field of study of a “common-knowledge” concept, idea, or fact for which no secondary support is required in a research paper. For me, in my field of study of a “common-knowledge” would be that I have check my emails every day at work to make sure that I am able to answer all enquires about veterans issues from the previous day, so that we can move forward in assisting and meeting the veterans needs Give an example from your field of a topic, question, or idea for which a secondary source must be cited or credited in a research paper.

...Qualities of Truth In Sunday school this author learned that any communication with the intent to deceive is a lie, whether that communication is verbal or non-verbal, by commission or omission. The truth is the Truth – there is not equivocation, but experience shows that determining Truth may not be that simple. What this author perceives as beautiful, lovely, or ugly, others may identify as the opposite. When the author communicates to another that their work is well-done and compliments them, does he become a liar because someone else holds a differing opinion? There is one Truth, but do any of us know what that truth truly is? Albert Carr (1968) would find that Mr. Frey pursued a brilliant marketing strategy to get his book published, after all business is business, marketing is marketing, and it’s all in how the game is played. While attempting to market his book as fiction more than a dozen publishers rejected Frey’s manuscript. His agent, whose job it is to get the book published, suggested a viable alternative, suggesting that he label it a memoir. Frey had a great product – this is supported by the fact that more than 3.5 million readers purchased the book, and read it. Oprah apparently couldn’t put it down. My bride found it to be riveting. How does one market this product so that it can positively receive a viewing by a publisher, in order to get it into the hands of its audience? Is this any different from the “new and breaking news” that is touted on television...

...Ans 6. “Prejudice always complicated the truth.” The movie 12 Angry Men, by means of several situational examples, reaffirms the fact. The first case in point is of the boy on trial who is born and brought up in slums. Many of the jury members, especially jurors 10, 7, 4 and 3 are heavily influenced by the prejudices they hold against children from the slums. In one of the scenes, juror 10, goes into a rage and explains why people from the slums cannot be trusted and calls them little better than animals who gleefully kill each other off for fun. Juror 4 had earlier pointed out that slums are breeding grounds for criminals and that these slum children are a threat to our society to which 10 adds that they are “real trash”. This is where juror 5 who himself has been born and brought up in slums interrupts and reveals about himself to which others try and convince him that it isn’t about him and that he should not be taking it personally. Juror 11 makes a point at this juncture and empathizes with juror 5 saying that he can understand his sensitivity about the slum issue. It is to be noticed hear that this juror 11 is Hispanic origin and himself had been a victim of such treatment out of held prejudices. One such instance comes in one of the movie scenes as well when juror 7 makes a remark on juror 11 and says “they” are all alike who come running for a life and before you can take a deep breath they get on your head and calls him arrogant. Towards the end juror 10 again makes...
