An unofficial English-languageHere for your review is the video we discussed last Wednesday. Thanks for the lively conversation. Here are some of the questions we worked on:
- What is the basic proposition with which Meyer begins her lecture?
- Meyer advises: «If you don't want to be deceived, you have to know...» what?
- In considering why people lie, what is one of the differences between men and women?
- Do married couples lie to each other more or less often than unmarried pairs?
- Meyer says, «By the time we enter this work world and we're breadwinners, we enter a world that is just cluttered with spam, fake digital friends, partisan media, ingenious identity thieves, world-class Ponzi schemers, a deception epidemic--in short, what one author calls a post-truth society.» Have you had personal experience with examples of any of these? Which?
- What is a «non-contracted denial»?
- What example of «distancing language» did Meyer cite?
- What is different about the way a lying person smiles?
- Why do trained interrogators ask people to repeat their stories and tell them backwards?
- What is «duping delight»?
- Why is contempt worse or more dangerous than anger?
- Meyer cites the saying, «Character is who you are in the dark.» What does she mean by that?
- Meyer ends by saying, «When you combine the science of recognizing deception with the art of looking, listening, you exempt yourself from...» What are you actually saying «no» to?
