Many contemporary songs contain lyrics which reflect a person who tells a lie and the consequences of doing so. In country singer Miranda Lambert's song "White Liar," her lyrics tell about how the truth comes out a little at a time, and that the lie is like turpentine rolling off the tongue. Children begin their childhood with parents telling them about Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy. While both of these are white lies, the truth is eventually revealed. People then begin to get the idea that it is acceptable to lie. When a person tells a lie they take someone else's right to know the truth. In Stephanie Ericsson's story, "The Ways We Lie," she conveys to readers the message that morally society has gone to garbage. She goes on to outline ten ways this occurs. Society is damaged by lying because it produces distrust, furnishes fear, and creates an unethical society. First, society is sabotaged by lying because it produces distrust. The government puts up a facade because they trick society into thinking that everything is well, but in reality it is all an illusion (624). The Watergate Scandal is an excellent example of how government created a facade. President Nixon and his administration attempted to cover up the Watergate Scandal by calling the scandal a third rate robbery attempt. However, the plethora of lies was eventually uncovered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Central Intelligence Agency, and Nixon and his administration were caught for the crime. Nixon then resigned from the presidency making him the first president to date to ever resign this position. The Watergate scandal changed American's view on politics, and Americans now question every presidency. Sometimes, media, through advertising, will make one believe falsehoods about a product that is not true. These advertisements delude one's thinking in a way that makes society go out and buy their products that are really not necessary
