Read Ethical Perspectives
of Persuasion and Box 1.3 How Often Do You Attempt to Deceive Others? in
Chapter 1: The Study of Persuasion in your text (pp. 26-27). The authors of
your text ask you to think about how often you are deceptive. Consider, too,
the other side of the story: What would happen if you never, ever lied? In
addition to reading your text, please read the article “Last word: Nothing but
the truth” in which author A.J. Jacobs tries giving voice to his every stray
thought: The last word: Nothing but the
truth.....
After reading your text
and the article, please write one-page (250-300 words) and in your own words
about your reaction to the Radical Honesty article and how – and whether – you
should use it in your life. Do not use any outside sources except for your
textbook and the Last Word article.

The Study of Persuasion
The
article, the last word: Nothing but the
truth by Jacobs (2009) explains how agents of truth can positively change
the world for their own good and others' goodness. The article persuades us to
focus on telling the truth even when we think the news might upset the
recipient. Jacobs learns the significance of telling the truth from Blanton,
and he decides to experiment with it in real-life situations. When he explained
to Jacob the importance of being honest, he felt it was simple to apply, but in
the real world, it is challenging if you expect a positive outcome.
