We tend to step back ,and see, what's going on after, is...too late I do understand your point. In my opinion you should talk honestly . Say something that doesn't hurt her, but make her realize, how saying the truth can help.
Why the friends are made for? Being honest can help your friend understanding the consequences. Personally I know how painful is to find out that you're wrong.It's better to say what to do and why.
What next? Stay positive and maybe she'll change her behavior. A tree has only roots.
Humans have habits,deeds,sayings etc.. All these coming from mentality. A strong character has got roots from ,families, friends,and so on. I think communicating with each other is important but ,diplomatically.
Encourage her to step forward and change her attitude before is too late.(optional) good luck Feedback is always very constructive,help her.
Sometimes people feel they need to recreate themselves, if she is not harming anyone then it is none of your business, if she is harming people with her lies then yes you have a duty to intervene. Though I usually prefer to use caution when telling someone what morals to live by. It is common for people to lie about some personal attribute that they wish they had are are striving to be.It is not much different then the whole concept of using intentions to become who you want to be.
Lying can take many forms, no tall are unethical. I don't feel that people should project their own morals onto other people. The big question is are just trying to point out that she is a bad person or do you think that you can actually change her actions.
If you do not think that you can change her than there is no point in saying anything.
Hrmm.. Moral/Ethical question If it was me, first I would try to talk to the person, say I didn't agree with what they were doing/lying about and that I think they should stop. If they didn't want to stop, and I felt it was that bad, I'd have to literally BREAK ties. I've done it in the past.My morale compass doesn't go that way.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
