I absolutely loved the TED talk from Lena Sisco. She said somethings that I will definitely look at now, that I never took notice to before. She stated that we all lie, and that's just our human nature but most of us don't lie for malicious intent and that its mostly to spare other peoples hurt feelings, to protect others, or to avoid arguments. There are two types of liars-Regular Liars or Powerful Liars. Regular liars feel guilty for lying to anyone or about something. On the other hand, we have some powerful liars who have no nerves, anxiety, or guilt when we lie. They focus on reward of the lie rather than it's consequences. These people are happy when they lie.
One thing that was really new to my understanding this week, was the fact that Polygraphs are not detecting lies, they test stress. I always thought that a polygraph was to detect if someone lies when questioned but it makes sense as the people are being asked questions, depending on their heartbeat they can tell when someone is stressing over what they're being asked. It all makes sense to me now.
