Module 2 Discussion
Lying is a technique of persuasion. Sometimes it’s justified
(e.g., wartime propaganda), sometimes it’s not.
Think of a time when somebody lied to you in your workplace.
(Don’t think about the lies of family members, friends, celebrities, or
politicians.) Describe the lie, what it was intended to accomplish, what it
actually accomplished, and its other consequences. Be sure to mention, discuss,
and prioritize all the factors involved; for example, the liar(s) may have had
several goals, and there may have been several consequences. Offer a complete,
concise, logical discussion, using proper English.
As before, you should support your analysis using the
sources mentioned in the Case, SLP, or Background Info. Identify each source
with an in-text citation. There’s no need to place the full reference at the
bottom of your posting if the reference appears in the module: otherwise, it’s
required.
Please comment on your classmates’ postings, using the
criteria above. Your comments should be relevant, positive, and constructive;
further, they should advance the discussion. As in a face-to-face class
discussion, you should “think before you speak.”
Discussion 2 Expectations
Respond to the topic an informed, rigorous and professional
manner. Your response should demonstrate an application of the concepts as well
as a reflection of your personal experience.
Discussion General Expectations
In each discussion forum, students are expected to respond
to the topic by providing an informed, rigorous, and professional post. These
should be around 100-150 words. In addition, students are required to respond
at least 3 times to your classmates’ posts in a similarly informed, rigorous
and professional manner.
