Does everyone lie

Answer 1

No. Maybe that's a lie. (:

Yes everyone lies, no one tells the truth all the time its virtually impossible to do so..

Julian Keenan a Montclair State University professor,who has been researching the world of deception for 10 years,has found that everybody lies.

"The average person tells at least one lie per day," What surprised him the most in his studies of hundreds of Montclair State students is how prevalent lying is, how bad people are at detecting it and how different the genders are at lying.

"Women, for example, tend to lie about their age, weight and looks, makeup, plastic surgery and clothes that enhance or manipulate the body."

"Men exaggerate (lie) how much they make,or their job title or grade point average,or the size of fish or game they have caught or how much they spent on a boat or car" said Keenan. "They tend to lie about wanting to get married and saying they want to have children,many exaggerate(lie) about the actual size of their penis."

But why lie at all? There are some good reasons that probably go back 5 million years, said Professor Keenan,who is director of the university's Cognitive Neuroimaging Laboratory.

"Lying has played a key role in our evolution, in making humans, human," he said. "It's one of the most amazing, sophisticated, advanced cognitive abilities we have. All evidence indicates that we are genetically programmed to lie. The liar has such an advantage over you. So the gene is passed on."

It is a lesson learned early. About 95 percent of all children lie, Keenan said, and they start the practice early - at the tender age of just 2.

"We find it is a sign in children of high intelligence," he said. "They have to be able to understand that you have thoughts. They need to hide the cookie from you, not themselves. Very few animals lie, except maybe a few apes. It's one of the hallmarks of humans."

Answer 2

It is common for people to lie occasionally, whether it's to protect themselves or others, avoid conflict, or gain a benefit. However, not everyone lies all the time. Ultimately, one's moral compass and values play a significant role in determining the frequency and extent of their dishonesty.
