Journal #5

The video, "How to Catch a Liar" by Dr. Ekman was interesting.  He starts off the video with a series of questions that make me think a little.  At first I wanted to say "Yes, I want to know when someone is lying to me."  After I started to think about it, I wasn't so certain about some of them.  It is very hard to decide.

He continues to talk about microexpressions and that they can and cannot be reliable.  They show that we may be hiding an emotion, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are guilty of lying or cheating.  It's very interesting to think about further.  We can make assumptions about any expression or emotion, but assumptions are not always correct. We need to be careful.
