Mentor’s comment-

• Define as to what constitutes a white lie with an example.
• In the body, examine the nature of white lies and analyze the concept using various ethical theories and thinkers. Give examples to substantiate your arguments. In the next part, give situations where it would be okay to use white lies and situations where white
  lies would not be right.
• Conclude with a balanced judgement that usage of white lies is based on situation but all lies are a form of deception..
