Not long ago the epic poem “Beowulf” was made into the first all-CGI movie. Hollywood succeeded where our schools have often failed in etching this tragic tale and it’s monster Grendel in the minds of a new generation. I mention this because I want us to understand that each of us also have our

I thought of a few practical examples related to a form of lying called cheating:
How about putting yourselves in the hands of a surgeon who might have cheated on his tests, or in some other ways lied about his credentials and training?
