The Truth about Lying
Ricky Gervais’s new film, The Invention of Lying, is a bout a world where lying doesn’t exist, which means that everybody tells the truth, and everybody believes everything everybody el says. “I’ve always hated you,” a man tells a work colleague. “He ems nice, if a bit fat,” a woman says about her date. It’s all truth, all the time, at whatever the c
ost. Until one day, when Mark, a down-on-his-luck lor played by Gervais, discovers a thing called “lying” and what it can get him. Within days, Mark is rich, famous, and courting the girl of his dreams. And becau nobody knows what “lying” is, he goes on, happily living what has become a complete and utter farce (喜剧).
It’s meant to be funny, but it’s also a more rious commentary on us all. As Americans, we like to think we value the truth. Time and time again, public-opinion polls show that honesty is among the top five characteristics we want in a leader, friend, or lover; the world is full of sad stories about the tragic conquences of betrayal. At the same time, deception is all around us. We are lied to by government officials and public figures to a disturbing degree; many of our social relationships are bad on little white lies we tell each other. We deceive our children, only to be deceived by them in return. And the average person, says psychologist Robert Feldman, the author of a new book on lying, tells at least three lies in the first l0 minutes of a conversation. “There’s always been a lot of lying,” says Feldman, who new book, The Liar in Your Life, came out this month. “But I do think we’re eing a kind of cultural shift where w e’re lying more, it’s easier to li
e, and in some ways it’s almost more acceptable.”
As Paul Ekman, one of Feldman’s longtime lying colleagues and the inspiration behind the Fox IV ries “Lie To Me” defines it, a liar is a person who “intends to mislead,” “deliberately,”without being asked to do so by the target of the lie. Which doesn’t mean that all lies are equally toxic: some are simply habitual —“My pleasure!” —while others might be well-meaning white lies. But each, Feldman argues, is harmful, becau of the standard it creates. And the more lies we tell, even if they’re little white lies, the more deceptive we and society become.
送书We are a culture of liars, to put it bluntly, with deceit so deeply ingrained in our mind that we
hardly even notice we’re engaging in it. Junk e-mail, deceptive advertising, the everyday pleasantries (客套话) we don’t really mean —“It’s so great to meet you!” “I love that dress” — have, as Feldman puts it, become “a white noi we’ve learned to neglect.” And Feldman also argues that cheating is more common today than ever. The Jophson Inst
itute, a nonprofit focud on youth ethics, concluded in a 2008 survey of nearly 30,000 high school students that “cheating in school continues to be rampant (猖獗), and it’s getting wor.” In that survey, 64 percent of students said they’d cheat ed on a test during the past year, up from 60 percent in 2006. Another recent survey, by Junior Achievement, revealed that more than a third of teens believe lying, cheating, or plagiarizing (抄袭) can be necessary to succeed, while a brand-new study, commis sioned by the publishers of Feldman’s book, shows that 18- to 34-year-olds — tho of us fully reared in this lying culture — deceive more frequently than the general population.
Teaching us to lie is not the purpo of Feldman’s book. His subtitle, in fact, is “the way to truthful relationships.” But if his book teaches us anything, it’s that we should sharpen our skills —and u them with abandon.
Liars get what they want. They avoid punishment, and they win others’ affection. Liars make themlves sound smart and intelligent, they attain power over tho of us who believe them, and they often u their lies to ri up in the professional world. Many liars have fun doing it. And many more take pride in getting away with it.

But in the modern world, the motives of our lying are more lfish. Rearch has linked socially successful people to tho who are good liars. Students who succeed academically get picked for the best colleges, despite the fact that, as one recent Duke University study found, as many as 90 percent of high-schoolers admit to cheating. Even lying adolescents are more popular among their peers.
