there are a great many examples of dishonesty in our society and it not just confined to the criminal class.many people in all walks of life,somtimes ,find it hard to speak the truth on occasion.
there is a big difference between telling lies to deliberately mislead people ,in order to gain some sort of dishonesty advantage ,and telling a lie to avoid hurting someone's feelings.the latter is often referred to as a white lie because it usually does no harm and is movtivated more by politeness.dishonesty is not restricted to telling lies but covers a wide range of actions by corrption.taking and using other people's property without their consent is dishonesty.
however,it pays to be honesty if a person wishes to retain their self respect and integrity.
