Americans are liars?

UNITED STATES: Americans lie constantly in just about anything according to a survey that was published in James Patterson's The Day America Told the Truth.

He stated that 90 percent of people in the United States lie routinely; 36 percent confess that they tell crucial lies. In addition, he also classified lies as 'dark lies', one that hurts other people, and ' trivial lies', those that include insincere compliments on dinner or clothes.

To top it off, Patterson came up with a conclusion that 86 percent lie regularly to parents, 75 percent lie to friends, 73 percent lie to siblings and 69 percent lie to spouses. And based on those supporting facts, there are areas in which Americans lie which mainly consists of the four key areas, their works, feelings ( 81%), about income (43%) and sex (40%).

Why did Americans lie anyway? Personally, in the writer point of view, the reasons could be in so many ways and sometimes it is quite subjective to judge. It might be due to stress, insecurity and vice versa, unstable well beings, indulging into a scandalous affair (perhaps), and the list goes on and on. At times, it is okay to lie(a little white lie) but when it is becoming such a norm, somehow, its really not a healthy way to deal with especially to our loved ones for it may ruin every single thing that a person has.

Nevertheless, not all Americans are liars and the survey had also shown what Americans told the truth about, and the findings are 51 percent say they see no reason to marry, 29 percent say they aren't sure they still love their spouse meanwhile another 31 percent admit they are having an extramarital affair. This is somehow demonstrates a good example to be noted as it is good to talk and to come clean about those things related in order to achieve a real positive relationship.

Followed by his interview quotes, "Americans are willing to lie at the drop of a hat. Lying is part of their lives. People say what others want to hear" is really proven with all the facts he gained altogether into a very catchy book 'The Day America Told the Truth' even most of them are such an ugly truth to be heard.

On the other hand, readers might be wondering why and depositing so many inquiries to buzz besides feeling surprise of all those lies created by so called ethnocentric Americans more often than not. Well, this great, mind blowing piece of Patterson will reveal all the truth and vanish all your curiosity which will be hitting bookstores nearby this week.
