An objective comparative report presents an overview of various aspects of a particular subject in an unbiased manner. In the case of this assignment, the goal is to demonstrate an understanding of a very common subject: lying.
An objective comparative report requires a clear organization that guides the reader through the subject. Moreover, it should present all sides fairly in order to be perceived as credible.
