The 4 types of deception

The 4 types of deception are:

• Falsification
• Exaggeration
• Omission
• Equivocation

Falsification-Passing off false or fabricated statements as though they were true
Exaggeration-Inflating or overstating information that is true in principle
Omission- Leaving out consiquential pieces of information in one's story
Equivocation- Giving vague or ambiguous information to create a false impression

An example of falsification is: All swans are white
An example of exaggeration is: Country music is the best music in the whole wide world.
An example of omission is: Forgetting to tell your husband how much something cost.
Equivocation: Telling the person you like that Blue is your favorite color, even though it isn't.

Elements of deception and personal reasons

The elements of deception are:

• The sender must know the information is false
• The sender must be transmitting the information on purpose
• The sender must be attempting to make the receiver believe the information

If the sender knows that the information is false then it becomes a lie. If the sender didn't know it wasn't false, then it was just a simple mistake and they should not be held responsible for. If the person is transmitting something that they heard from someone else, then they are not responsible for the lie because they heard it from someone else. If the sender is really trying to to make someone else believe a lie then it is a lie.

Some of my personal experiences with deception would be:

I was dating a guy in highschool and I thought that he really liked me when in reality he really didn't. He then started to act weird and said we should just be friends. I found out later on that he liked another girl. I was really pissed off and felt used.

I was really good friends with two girls in highschool who always wanted to hangout and be with me. It was sincere for a while and then they used me for rides and money and etc. I was always a good friend to them and they really didn't care about me at all in the end.

I was in the hospital a few months ago for depression issues and I saw a doctor one time and he diagnosed me as Bipolar. He did not know me at all. Yes, I had a few symptoms but not enough to diagnose me with Bipolar. He then went on to tell me that I was untreatable and wished he had never tried.

How I deal with conflict

Conflict seems to be everywhere and in everyones life. No matter how hard we try...conflict always seems to find a way into our lives,weather it is with family, friends, co-workers, your boss, or a stranger. People deal with conflict in many different ways. Some of them good...and some of them not so good. Some conflicts end in yelling and walking away and some conflicts end with a fist fight or worse.Conflict can be good and bad. The good part is that it teaches us to deal with other people in different situations in our life. The bad part is that sometimes it can make us angry towards some of the people we love the most. The best way to avoid conflict is to try and be considerate of other peoples feelings and try and listen to what others have to say.

I am a 21 year old college student with a job...obviously I am going to be dealing with a bunch of conflicts in my life. I have conflicts with school, work, and at home. Although it is very hard for me to not loose my temper and yell or cuss at someone, I really try and listen to those who are older and have more experience then I do. I am at that age where I think I know everything...when in reality...I don't know much at all. I get into it with my parents a lot and although I think they are being unfair at times they care for me and only want the best. I really try and listen to what they have to say. I have a friend who I have known for many years and she and I are complete opposites and have gotten into to a lot of fights, after a while we can talk it out and listen to what eachother has to say. In other words..I really try and listen to what others have to say. Yes, I do loose my temper and have said some mean things to people who I really love and it put a little strain on our relationship, but after calming down it always works out.
