Expertise doesn't transfer automatically from one field to another: Being an expert in one area does not automatically qualify a person as an expert (or even as competent) in other areas. Is it the same with dishonesty? Many people think dishonesty does transfer, that being dishonest in one area automatically discredits that person in all areas. For example, when Bill Clinton lied about having sexual encounters with his intern, some said he couldn't be trusted about anything. Post your response to the following discussion question.If someone is known to have been dishonest about one thing, should we automatically be suspicious of his or her honesty regarding other things? Limit your response to 150 to 300 words, demonstrate understanding of and cite the required readings or other credible sources that you apply, and look for opportunities to engage with and learn from others.

To being with, expertise and dishonesty are two different things altogether.Expertise in an area is more about a person's learned skills and intellect while honesty or dishonesty is more about one's personality trait.

Over the years psychological studies have enumerated 5 personality traits that could explain human behavior, also known as Big Five but now many researches believe that there is another addition to this list i.e honesty-humility.The basic idea is to understand that dishonesty is more about once ingrained nature and characteristics.Though it is not correct to say that a dishonest person will forever remain so but it is also important to be careful and extra vigilant with a person who has had earlier incidents of showing dishonesty.

In corporate world there are penalties and strict rules against such cases which suspends a person from work for a duration depending on the level of deceit committed by them and it's important to create an example so that people don't get into ill practices.

So yes for a intial period its natural and advisable to be suspicious in a way to be cautious so that past things don't repeat for such time till the person shows a change in his or her behavior.
