The whole truth: who needs it?

Article Abstract:

The recent case of Patricia Whitehead, who claimed that she had caused a motor accident which had actually been caused by her husband, has highlighted modern views on the borderline between honesty and dishonesty. Many people regard some dishonest actions, such as making personal phone calls from work or making exaggerated insurance claims, as acceptable, even though they see themselves as totally honest. There are many cases in which lies are told to protect others, but society as a whole seems to have become addicted to lying.

Rum-ti-tum, the heartbeat of a nation

Article Abstract:

The small spa town of Buxton, England, gives the impression of being isolated from the pressures of the outside world. It seems safe and old-fashioned, and is associated with very traditional leisure activities, such as the International Gilbert and Sullivan festival. Participants at this event included the Bournemouth Gilbert and Sullivan Society, which performed 'The Yeoman of the Guard.' Staging this production was very hard work for the members of this society, but they also found it extremely enjoyable.

Truth is the real moral casualty

Article Abstract:

The recent case of a woman who had one of her twins aborted because she did not feel able to cope with two babies attracted considerable media attention, especially regarding the moral aspects of performing such an operation. It now appears that the doctor responsible for performing the abortion actually changed the facts, making the situation appear more desperate than it really was. This in itself raises moral questions about whether it is right to change facts in this way.
