There is a lot of people who can lie to their teeth, some people can take it as far convincing themselves that they are not lying , while they fully know that they are lying to themselves.CPUT has a policy that say student must not plagiarize in doing their studies , but you will find student who would copy their friends work and pretend to their lecturers as if its their own work. They are aware they shouldn't be doing that but they do it.  When they complete their studies and get employement with good results, they can't do the work." It is a poor idea to lie to yourself". There is even those who are holding high position in government, who are trusted by the whole nation, but the very same people can take the almost fifty million inhabitants/citizens for a ride by lying to them. It is also important to know that people can lie to themselves, but at the end of the day, that will catch up with them for example the unrest in the African Arab states, those leaders who are now experiencing unrest in their countries we lying to themselves, because propagandas are about lying to yourself knowing fully well that something is not right, but continue to portray yourself as if it is right.
