Although we operate in interpersonal communication on the assumption that people tell the truth, some people do lie. In fact, many view lying as common, whether in politics, business, or interpersonal relationships. Lying also begets lying; when one person lies, the likelihood of the other person lying increases. Furthermore, people like people who tell the truth more than they like people who lie. So, lying needs to be given some attention in any consideration of interpersonal communication. Page 202 Paragraph C Values represent cultural standards by which we determine what is good, bad, right or wrong. Sometimes these values are expressed as proverbs or sayings that teach us how to live. Do you recognize the phrase, “Life is like a box of chocolates- you never know what you’re going to get”? This modern day saying is popular among those who embrace life’s unpredictability. Cultures are capable of growth and change, so it’s possible for a culture’s values to change overtime.
