   Everyone sure will have secrets in their lives. People needs privacy and secrets are the one that keep our privacy from others. In the essay, "Secrets We Tell" , Sante gives three reasons for secrecy:Soviet Union, internet, and confessional culture/media. 
   I don't really understand what the author is trying to discuss about Soviet Union, but I think it's about the privacy of that society. Like how the government doesn't want outsiders to obtain their real information in the Soviet Union, like the used of propaganda. 
  Next, Sante discusses about the internet. The internet is like a digital world full of secrets. We can go to news and there will be tons of news that will come up, from a girl got shot yesterday to a person that won a reward in science fair, etc.... Internet is a place full of gossips, we can easily obtain an information, well if we know how to search it right. Anyway, internet is a place where rumors spread the fastest. For example, this celebrity has tons of surgeries (fault) but within 5 minutes, thousands and thousands of people will see that topic. 
  Lastly, Sante discusses about our culture and the media. Since everyone has secrets, sometimes the only way to relieved themselves is to reveal the secrets, like to their best friend or to a dog/cat. As long as someone that will listen to the secret without making a big deal on it. I supposed that what Sante meant when he discusses about the culture.
