How good are people at detecting lies? Have participants tell a group of people about themselves, but make sure some of the things are true while others are not. Ask members of the group which statements they thought were true and which they thought were false.

Social psychologists have found that attractiveness can produce what is known as ahalo effect . Essentially, we tend to assume that people who are physically attractiveare also friendly, intelligent, pleasant, and likeable. Have participants look at 

 photographs of people of varying degrees of physical attractiveness, then ask themto rate each person based on a variety of traits including social competence,kindness, intellect, and overall likeability. Write a paper or develop a presentationbased on your results. Think about how this might effect a variety of social situations,including how employees are selected or how jurors in a criminal case might respond.

Dear Beloved,

 You & I were never as ‘disconnected’ as we are today. Our past has had somewonderful moments & when I recall them, all I recollect is a great chemistry of twosoul-mates who were ready to be buried into ashes for each other. You always keptthe flame of our love ignited between us even in the busiest of your schedule and Iadmired your love during your high and lows. I was always a drag away wheneveryou needed me. I supported you in your fights; admired your amity. Those good-nightkisses, those early morning meets all were just good enough to end oneself in smokefor living even a single moment like that, and I did the same. I ended myself in smokefor your love. I burned myself down to ashes in your service. A drag, deep inside you,started being the only thing I existed for.

Slowly, the things started changing. The moments we had once cherished, turnedinto the routines that were bound to occur even without the slightest of the feeling toenjoy them. The love in the air that was once like a never-ending kindled flame,started diminishing in the smoke of its own fire. You started repenting ourrelationship and I apparently became the biggest disaster that had ever happened toyour life. You avoided me, you cursed me, but nothing worked out. Our love wasstrong enough to survive through all this and it did survive through all this manytimes in the past. It did survive through the adverse movements of clock. It didsurvive beyond the excruciating sandstorms of bad times and I was proud of my

relationship with you.

But these days, I am missing that spark in our relationship. Those undue disruptionshave certainly affected our chemistry like a tyrannical daemon. You don’t like meanymore the way you did in the past. You are learning to live without me and thisfact is teasing me painfully. I feel cheated. Those unconditional promises, thoseextensive desires, have suddenly started appearing unworthy of it. The feelings of losing an integral part of my life that I had once found in you have started hoveringover me, making me depressed, helpless, and all broken. I beg almighty for yourmercy, your attention and your love but all I get in return is a void response. Hence, Ifinally decided to write to you, the gravest of my feelings from the bottom of myheart. I know, this letter might not mean much to you as your own life is the onlything you are concerned about these days. But who cares? Firing my passions up, in

the service of your selfish desires is the very thing I have done all my life so onemore time would not matter much now. Still in a hope to get you back, I put my pendown for the last time.

 Yours Selflessly-

"A Burning Cigarette"

Dear No-Longer-a-Beloved,

While I try to respond you, let me make it very clear that my reply is, in no way,meant to alleviate the grievances and complaints that you’ve expressed with yourheart against me in your outrageously passionate and disheartening letter. Hence,you may choose to ignore this response and continue living in your fake world, wherea righteous shift from the darkness of death towards the brightness of life is termedas ‘an act of a cheat’ and where a person, trying to break the shackles of worldly

deceptions to emerge a winner, is baptised as ‘utterly selfish’. Melodrama at its best.But alas! I don’t buy it anymore. Not from you at least. Excuse me for that.

Not that I differ from the facts expressed in your letter. You and I did enjoy awonderful relationship for three years in the past. Two worldly souls, one heavenlyconnection, and an endless flame of romance. I couldn’t agree more with you onthese flamboyant metaphors of fire ‘n’ smoke. You did describe this flame of loveappropriately in your argument. But what you forgot to describe was the ‘burns’ thatthis romantic flame gave me during those years. You correctly illustrated the sanctityand holiness of a selfless relation, but failed to mention the number of times I tried toslaughter my own beautiful life for that one single worthless ‘desire’. This was nevera square deal. It could never have been. All it had was a few supposed moments of 

 joy to offer on one hand, and a priceless mind and body at stake on the other.

 Therefore, my dear friend, I chose to abstain from you. Once, and forever. Excuse mefor that.

 The decision of leaving you was not an easy one. Neither did I think, it would ever be.With the kind of influence you had over my body and my mind, it was hard to dealand to come out of it as normal. The wonder you very proudly named as ‘stronglove’, was nothing but a ‘death trap’, which looked so enticing and alluring from oneside, but had an end full of ‘smoke & gasps’ at the other. A magnificent gift of lifethat God had bestowed me with, could not be ended in the obscure depths of abreathless ocean. A prosperous life that I had always wanted to live, could not betaken to the state of absolute destitution with my own hands. All my ambitions,desires & inspirations were not meant and fostered to be lost in a night full of sorrowsand miseries. Hence, I abandoned a worldly possession and decided to call it a day

for a supposedly strong relation. Yes! I decided to dump you. Dump you, with noregrets at all. Excuse me for that 'A Burning Cigarette’.

Sincerely,

An Ex Chain-Smoker
