UNIT 3: 

Hypocrisy and Facade

 

 
Extended Texts: 

 

Essential Questions:

  • Is hypocrisy inherent to human nature?
  • How does hypocrisy reveal the complexity of human nature? 
  • Is civilization simply a façade that masks the savagery of humans?
  • In the face of the savage reality of human behavior, why do people continue to pursue the concept of civilization?
  • What is the truth of the darkness at the heart of civilization and the civilized human being? 
  • Why is deception and lying not only socially acceptable but sometimes necessary?
  • Do absolute or universal truths exist?  How does perspective shape or alter truth?
