In this article, The Ways We Lie, Ericsson tells about the many different ways people lie and explains the reasons for doing it. In her article, she describes the different lies by most people do every day. First, she explains the white lie. The white lie is telling a harmless lie instead of the truth. The second type of lie are facades. Facades are described as putting on another face or making people believe something that you're not. These are bad lies as they seduce others into an illusion and make you look and feel like something you are not.
