What do you consider would be the line between a flat out "lie" and a "white lie"?

All lies are the same in my opinion. They are generally never a good idea. But I can see exceptions if the liw is made in order to save someone hurt.

Some lies which would fall into this category are if someone died in agony, telling a surviving loved one that there was no pain. Telling a child to be good so "Father Christmas" will come and bring presents. This is ok because it does not really hurt anyone to create an image of Father Christmas rewarding a piece of good behavior.

Lies in oedwe ro deceive so another is manipulated to behave in a way that will later hurt them is possibly the worst kind of lie.

Truthfully a lie is a lie. A white lie is supposed to be one that doesn't hurt someone else or is told to keep from hurting their feelings. The problem is that a white lie hurts the person that tells it because it takes away their integrity.

A flatline is an electrical time sequence measurement that shows no activity and therefore when represented, shows a flat line instead of a moving one. It almost always refers to either a flatlined electrocardiogram, where the heart shows no electrical activity (asystole), or to a flat electroencephalogram, in which the brain shows no electrical activity (brain death). Both of these specific cases are involved in various definitions of death.

Some consider one who has flatlined to be clinically dead, regardless of eventual resuscitation or lack thereof, whereas others insist that one is alive until the moment of brain death. This is mostly used in the medical industry when a person's pulse has stopped, indicating a flat line on the heart monitor. When a patient displays a cardiac flatline, the treatment of choice is an injection of vasopressin (epinephrine and atropine are also possibilities) 1 and chest compressions.

Successful resuscitation is generally unlikely and is inversely related to the length of time spent attempting resuscitation. Despite defibrillation commonly appearing on medical dramas as a remedy for asystole, it is usually not done when there is a total absence of electrical activity, as it could actually make it more difficult to restart the heart. A flatline will also be generated if all leads are disconnected from the patient.

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.
