Top 10 Ways We Are Being Deceived Without Knowing It
There are so many things around us which we think are true as they appear. We have accepted them as it is and believe in their certainty. Among these things almost everything has become an essential part in our life and we can’t imagine our life without them. Among these things many of them are not what they appear to be or we are not getting the true picture. Here is a list of ten ways we are being deceived without knowing it.
10. Ovens
Now this is truly unbelievable, how can we be deceived by oven making companies? To people who use ovens must be aware that they need to preheat the oven before cooking anything in it. It has been mentioned to preheat it at 350 degrees before baking or cooking anything in it and almost the first point in any cooking recipe is to preheat the oven at this temperature. The temperature on which we set the oven is not the actual temperature it maintains throughout. The temperature keeps fluctuating when the dish is cooked in it.
9. Radio shows
When we turn on radio stations we hear people giving their opinions about things that are going around us. The truth is that the people who voice their opinions are not local people, but they are paying people who are given money to say specific things. It is not true that everyone is a paid actor, but most of them are.
8. Sick notes
Sick notes are used by employees to show to their employers why they needed to take some time off. Employers want a proof that you were actually sick when you took days off from work claiming that you are sick. But, the employers might not be aware that sick notes can be taken from doctors by paying them certain amount even if they’re not ill. Employees use sick notes as another way to deceive their employers.
7. Santa Claus
Unfortunately, most of were deceived by our parents when we we were kids. The told us that Santa was real and he was watching First, parents only say this when their kids are acting like little rats and need an attitude adjustment. More importantly, this lie leads to us giving them a bunch of presents, which is important to the child’s upbringins. When we get older, people just lie to you; they never give you a bunch of great stuff because of it.
6. Dating Profiles
We’ve all been deceived by a person we’ve gone on a date who says they are one thing and end up being another. No one likes to be deceived by a person with whom they hope to establish a long term relationship with. It is perhaps for this reason that studies have shown that lies on dating profiles are minor and miniscule. What’s the harm in lying about being younger by 3 years? It would only become a problem if you are a minor. Men make themselves a little taller (by about 1”) and women make themselves a little thinner (by about 8 pounds). But unless you spent a summer working at a local fair guessing peoples’ weight and height, the deceptions are so small, on average, that most people probably wouldn’t pick them out on the first few date.
