Distortion of facts can include spreading misinformation on social media.

    Experience And Observation related to some


    unethical behaviours:
    1.Dishonesty:
    Dishonesty in the business are common
    these days, people are more focused on
    earning money by any means, though it
    would be unethical.
    The example of dishonesty is the
    infomercials that are telecasted after the
    prime shows on television.
    Asian Sky shops, TVC etc; are the
    infomercials in which people are misguided
    or cheated.
    "Slim Sauna Belt, use it for 15mins and get a
    slim trim belly" by Asian Sky Shop. They
    mislead the people and convince them to buy
    the product. Even the seller knows nothing is
    going to happen to your belly- just sweat!
    This is dishonesty.
    2.Withholding Information:
    You can withhold things such as permission,
    emotion or information. You might get into
    trouble if you withhold information from your
    parents and police.
    Withholding information are generally
    executed by the business personnel's to
    avoid tax.
    Doctors withhold information to the patients
    if there is a critical information, which can
    disturb the patients to avoid panic.

    3.Distortion of facts:
    To change the natural, normal ,or original
    shape, appearance, or sound of something in
    a way is usually not attractive or pleasing.
    Example would be the current riots held in
    city area of Vadodara. Riots occurred due to
    the false use of social media to ignite fire
    between two communities. This is distortion
    of facts.
    4.Misleading or confusing communication or
    positioning or advertising.
    Misleading advertisements are those who
    deceive people who are likely to see it.
    best examples of misleading people are
    Lays chips- people are mislead by the weight
    of the packet, product weights 8 grams
    instead of 10grams.
    clothes cafe(Akota)- Some of the products
    are from china, which they labelled as 'Made
    in India'.
    Advertisements are made illusionary by
    -"60% off on all the products" but there is a
    specific discounts on specific products.
    5.Manipulation of people's feeling.
    Example would be Olay.
    Olay shows the ageing factor and how to
    prevent aging.

    People are manipulated, they have sense of


    fear about - 'ageing'. Olay portraits there
    product as a product that helps to prevent
    ageing, "7 sides of ageing".
