Alysa is joined by long-time student, Lauren, to discuss the question, “Is honesty always the best policy?” For some individuals, the answer is yes, especially when it comes to friends. However, honesty and deception in friendships may be far more complicated. Have a listen to hear about how honesty fits into the description of friendship, how the “ideology of openness” may not always work well, how lies may operate in friendship, and how to be honest with a friend.
