In common usage Honesty refers to a facet of moral character and denotes positive, virtuous attributes such as integrity, truthfulness, and straightforwardness along with the absence of lying, cheating, or theft. By contrast, in some computing contexts such as the design of p2p systems, honesty is reduced to a numerical component of a reliability judgment in a reputation system.

Discourse

In discourse a statement can be strictly true and still be dishonest if the intention of the statement is to deceive its audience. Similarly, a falsehood can be spoken honestly if the speaker actually believes it to be true, assuming the speaker doesn't unfairly reject or suppress evidence. Conversely, dishonesty can be defined simply as behavior that is performed with intent to deceive or to manipulate the truth.

A. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Mark Twain (1835-1910) OK the river symbolizes freedom to Huck and Jim, agreed? Whoa, whoa, wait a sec! It s a bit more complicated than that after all, the river also directly causes a bunch of problems for our heroes. Freedom cannot cause problems, you may be thinking. But, err, it can just hear us out for a few more sentences. The river may be carrying Jim and Huck to freedom, but on the way, it creates a few obstacles.
