Cognitive dissonance

Explanation:

Cognitive dissonance was proposed by Leon Fe-stinger. Cognitive dissonance is related to conflicts between belief, attitude, and behavior of a person. This process produces mental discomfort in a person. If a person is not satisfied create discomfort in person related to their belief, attitude, and behavior.

For is example a person does smoke where smoking is injurious to health. Smoking is behavior and smoke causes cancer is cognition so they are the people who are in cognitive dissonance.

So that George is in discomfort state because of his thinking that he is honest and his brother reminds him about his behavior in the past.
