Cheating and People
Q10. Do you really think cheating is really more common or does it just seem so? Why?
Definition of cheating
Cheating refers to an immoral way of achieving a goal. It is generally used for the breaking of rules to gain advantage in a competitive situation. Cheating is the getting of reward for ability by dishonest means. This broad definition will necessarily include acts of bribery, cronyism, sleaze, nepotism and any situation where individuals are given preference using inappropriate criteria.The rules infringed may be explicit, or they may be from an unwritten code of conduct based on morality, ethics or custom, making the identification of cheating a subjective process.
Cheating is defined in the dictionary as, to deceive by trickery; swindle, however the dictionary fails to tell you if it is right or wrong to cheat. People have many different beliefs when it comes to cheating; some think its fine to do while others completely disapprove. I intend to show the different beliefs, from different perspectives of people, and also intend on proving which beliefs have the strongest and weakest arguments.
Type of cheating in culture
Cheating in School http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/10/why-do-students-cheat-in-school/. What I have observed about cheating in my school is that there is not a lot because we are very small compared to most high schools. We are like a family so it is easy to tell if someone cheated by copying a paper from someone else or took it off the internet. It is always wrong to cheat but that never completely stops anyone from doing it. Cheating has gotten bad over the past years. the people at my old school loves to cheat. they would cheat in front of the teachers. they wouldn’t do anything. i think cheating is wrong, people who cheat shouldn’t allow to past to the next grade. website that we should blame is wikipedia. why because it give the answer sometimes and the kids are to lazy to think of doing it on their own.
