a question by Sunday 150/n10:01 Back Hi Class, Discussion Details GC 2023 FALL-COM110 29178 A lie I have told my mom is that everything is okay at home. This was not to mislead her, but to give her some peace of mind and not worry her about something I would eventually overcon come. Sometimes when I have disagreements with my boyfriend, I can be so upset that I say something out of anger. I have improved over time at handling my home issues in private, versus venting to whomever might listen. In this case, my mom. This type of lie protects my privacy. It prevents my mom from giving unsolicited advice, and me from oversharing on a subject that isn't resolved. This could be considered a low-stakes lie because it's not hurting anyone and just giving me emotional discomfort. ◄ Previous Another lie I can think of, I know someone who has lied on their resume and gotten a better job because of it. This is a lie that made them look better. I would consider this a high-stakes lie because it had a big reward for her. Had she not lied, she may have not gotten the job, and it could have gone to someone else which could've had a big impact on them. Instead, because of her dishonesty, she lied to the company she worked for, paid and received health care from them, and bypassed the levels of job opportunities someone qualified would have had to work through.

This was a low stakes lie, as it wouldn't badly affect my relationship with my sister. I didn't like her hair color in reality. 2) Some lies help you avoid punishment: When my brother accidentally broke a video game controller of mine and said that he didn't know what had broken it. This was a low stakes lie, as I am not likely to stop talking to him, but I was pretty mad with him
