


What is the main idea of Meyer’s discussion of envy?
Meyer makes the claim that lying is a cooperative act. Do
you agree or disagree? Explain.
Can we ever fully know the truth about a person?
Why do you believe that deception is so ingrained in the
human experience?
Can you think of a time when you truly believed that
someone was being honest to you and in the end you
realized that this person had deceived you? How did this
make you feel? Looking back, were there signs that you
missed which could have helped you to realize that this
individual was deceiving you?
