Cheating

In "Studies Find More Students Cheating, With High Achievers No Exception", Richard Perez-Pena point outs that the majority of people, high and low achievers cheats. Cheating has Been uncovered over the last year at some of the nation's competitive schools. In the article, Richard Perez-Pena explains how students behavior show that a majority of students violate standards of academic integrity to some degree. High School achievers do it too also. There is evidence that the problem has worsened over the last few decades. Perez-Pena interviewed Donald L. McCabe, a professor at Rutgers University Business school and a leading researcher on cheating. He said "There have always been struggling students who cheat to survive, but more and more, there are students at the top who cheat to succeed." Internet access has made cheating easier. The Internet has changed attitudes, which made downloading, searching, cutting, and pasting has loosened some ideas of ownership. Mr.Wasieleski said, "Students are surprisingly unclear about what is plagiarism or cheating. Mr.Wasieleski is an associate professor of management. A lot of projects and research studies have shown frequently reinforcing standards, can lesson cheating for both students and cheating. In 2010 Yale undergraduates took a survey about school's policy on academic honesty, by The Yale Daily News. Most of them that took it were unsure about the rules on sharing or recycling their work. High School students took a survey too, at Josephson Institute of Ethics. They found that three-fifths of the students admit to having cheated in there previous year. Also about four fifths of the students say that their own ethics are above average. I think that cheating is wrong. People do it all the time but the people that cheat won't learn anything.
