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.

Is honesty in the list of endangered species?
Q. They say, 'Honesty is the best policy.' Sadly, it seems to be but a policy that hardly, if ever, gets implemented! Everywhere you look in the society, dishonesty seems to be ruling the roost. The cutthroat attitude of people is willing to sacrifice honesty in the altar of monetary gains. So, is honesty really heading the dinosaur's way?
