Week of November 5-11 - Question 1

Posting misleading information about yourself in an online capacity which is being read by a great many other people is unethical and immoral. The person or persons who see the profile begin to believe things that are not true and may find out somewhere later down the line creating more problems for both parties. Online dating site profiles are easy to create and are quite plentiful. However, just as much deception can be present in a relationship that occurs in a face to face relationship. Not very many people are able to read body language and so they are lied to in relationships and never even know it. In an online relationship you can mask who you are and what you do up until you have to see someone via webcam. Online relationships also seem to have a higher percentage of cheating that occurs. In both cases it comes down to basic human nature. Not everyone in the world has morals or ethics and is willing to put them into practice. Deception is just as likely to happen in person as it is face to face.
