CrowdScience’s Caroline Steel is in the hot seat, on a journey where she will attempt to untangle the complex story behind lying.
It’s a subject scientists and psychologists have been studying for a long time. It’s also something writers, philosophers and theologists have been interpreting for thousands of years. But we’re only now really starting to get to grips with how it works as a human behaviour.
There are lies in our folklore, lies in the media and also lies in everyday conversation. It’s something we’ve all had to learn to navigate at some point in our lives.
Our journey will take us to meet the world’s ‘second best liar’, an award she picked up at West Virginia’s Liar Contest. We’ll also meet a comedian who’s proud of the down-to-earth plain honesty of Dutch people.
An academic who has studied thousands of children’s brains will explain when we first start learning to lie. And we’ll hear about new research using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is helping to show how the more we actually lie, the less our brain reacts telling us not to.
Caroline looks at how lying changes from culture to culture. Do we really all lie? And do we lie in the same way? The surprising and intriguing answer is found in how early it develops in us as a human behaviour.

lying is always bad. We need to have high culture to be able to live honestly. You don't have to celebrate your child lies.
Great
Can anyone fill me out the name of the theme song at "The Shepherd Boy" part? Thank a lot. 11:00
Lies often act as shields, protecting us from harsh truths and social judgment. Modern psychology suggests we lie to preserve our self-image, avoid conflict, and foster connections, reflecting our intricate dance with truth and deception.
I appreciate the ending. Even if it’s not entirely true, being polite sometimes makes me feel better. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
i love the end of this .😂lie
What an interesting topic! I learned a lot of vocabulary and better ways of speaking in this video
Save your frietened son when there is something run
Interesting, but Why lie, for when everyone lies, they expect others to lie, so when you tell the truth, no one wants to believes it, especially when it’s something or someone they prefer not to believe, perhaps about about a wealthy friend, but they will always believe a lie about someone they dislike….
I DON'T LIKE SPORTS.

The final part was really fun😂
My parents were the catalyst that taught me to lie. Basically i learned that if i talk about certain things i get in trouble, if i ask questions i get in trouble and if i don’t give the answers they want i get in trouble.
So i started lying. Nothing wrong when dealing with unreasonable people.
I got the belt for things like that and it is funny how your view changes when you catch your parents lies out regularly but you get a hiding for your own
Bg
Wojciechowski? It is a Polish surname.
(It was the last world of that video)

Nice lesson 👏
How BBC learned to lie ?
Wow, celebrating children telling Lies and believing that is an example of a beneficial growth milestone is a benchmark for the downfall of our world. A special Thank you to therapist and counselors who have helped us become this way.

I loved it. And that is not a live.
When i was studying overseas (Australia), at first I thought people are so friendly, always asking me how I'm doing. But soon, I noticed they did this less and less. I didn't realize that they didn't really want to know how I was, so when I answered honestly, they were put off and started avoiding me. How depressing is that? I have to lie to keep them happily uninvolved with me.
