1. Is it ever appropriate to lie to someone? Give one example of when you believe lying might
be justified
Lying involves two things: (1) An outright, purposeful false statement to another (lie by
commission) and (2) The failure to disclose all the information a person has a right to
know (lie by omission).
Recall the 2017 Las Vegas shooting that occurred on the night of Sunday, October 1
when a gunman opened fire on a crowd of concertgoers at the Route 91 Harvest music
festival on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada, leaving 58 people dead and 851 injured.

his room from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His motive remains unknown. Now,

swarming over the hotel. In Paddock’s last act before the shooting, he tells you he’s quite
certain the authorities have no idea what he is about to do. Should you be honest and tell

ready to intercede. We could argue the issue of trustworthiness and loyalty as well. These
pillars of character are at risk in your action. So, what justifies doing what you have done
in informing the police? Simply put, an ethical person avoids harming others and you
have the opportunity to live up to those values. Lying to Paddock (by omission) is
justified here to save the lives of others. While Rights Theory holds that the ends do not
