Indira Fernandez: "The Lie Detector"

I like the idea presented by the author that lie detectors are an efficient method to detect is somebody is lying. In this essay, I had to agree and disagree with Thomas because I do not think that this equipment is a hundred percent effective. It is my opinion that lying is a psychological aspect, therefore it can be controlled by the mind. In other words people might prepare psychologically to lie so they can overcome this test successfully. In the other hand I agree with the author when he says that lying is stressful, even when we do it for protection, relief, escape, profit, or pleasure. I also agree with what he says about how we are social creatures and we depend on other people therefore we need to have trust on each other to survive. In conclusion, humans have a tendency to lie for some reason and it is really hard to trust someone but you can never know what a person is thinking or feeling inside.
