Summary:
In the article "Why We Lie" by Dan Ariely, it is explained which of us lie and what drives us to lie. Through experiments with different variables and incentives, it is concluded that everyone, either in large or small doses, are both victims and suspects of dishonesty.
Paraphrase #10:
We know people cheat a little, but what makes us cheat more or less?
Quote:
"What, then-if anything-pushes people towards greater honestly?" (Ariely 443)
I chose this particular quote because I feel like it's a really important question. In the article, it explains different things that make us lie but it never mentioned what drives us to be honest. It was said a few times on what makes people lie more or less, but not exactly what makes people be truthful. I'm also curious myself.
