The Importance Of Cheating

My first tough term is cheating? How can someone clearly define cheating when the definition varies by the person? Simply, nobody can. However in my point of view, cheating can vary by each relationship. One may agree to an open relationship and almost anything goes whereas another would hate it if I even looked at another lady. Ultimately, cheating to me is if the intentions of my significant other are to form a new relationship with somebody, purposely trying to shake things up. What I mean is I have no problem with my lady and me going to a bar and letting her get free drinks all night by flirting with other guys; emotional manipulation influencing them to buy her a drink or two. Why would I be okay with this? Because I not only have

The idea of cheating to attain rewards is no new concept. Throughout history, people have performed actions that contradict their morals in order to advance in society. Leaders, parents, and even children have taken shortcuts that strike at their integrity. In recent times, cheating has become more prominent than ever before. The concepts of honesty, fairness, and morality are not enforced, therefore, deception, fraud, and dishonesty prevail in the shadows. In Cheating Culture, written by David Callahan, the author addresses the issue of lying, deceit, and trickery in today's world, while also recognizing a change in the near future is within the people's grasp.

For the next part of my research, I consulted some magazines that I had around my house. I found an article in the January 2004 issue of Cosmopolitan that was helpful in explaining one of the theories on why men cheat. According to Shirley Glass, PhD, many men who cheat come from chauvinistic cultures or families where their fathers cheated. Another point brought up by Glass in this article is that men feel that as long as they do not love the other woman, that it is simply a physical thing, then they are not really cheating (Koli). I guess what Glass is saying is that cheating, like abuse or alcoholism, can be a cycle that runs in families. If a man grows up watching his father cheat on his mother, then he is being taught that it is an acceptable practice. Also, men feel that if they do not break their emotional promise to their significant other, then they are not doing anything wrong. While I think the first one is understandable and a valid point, I feel the second is yet another excuse men use to justify an unjustifiable action.

Leaving us with the question as to why people cheat? One of the first things that comes to peoples mind when thinking of affairs are all set towards Hollywood rumors about celebrities, when in reality it can happen to anyone; “Affairs can occur in happy marriages as well as in troubled ones. Although the involved spouse may not be getting enough from the marriage, sometimes the involved spouse is not giving enough. Reasons for EMI include low self-esteem, relationship deficits (e.g., lack of affection), or a social context in which infidelity is condoned.” (glass) Even with a non-problematic relationship people can still fall under the pressure of cheating. One factor can include either spouse losing interest. In some certain cases if either a man or women were to be in fight, and they saw an attractive person of the opposite sex there would be a higher chance of either person committing an infidelity. About 30- 60% of married American citizens will cheat on their spouse. A marriage’s outcome only reflects the amount of effort that was put into it; “Some marriages end in a month and others last fifty years because of the partners beliefs about one another’s veracity.” ( “ Lying”) There are 3 main factors that causes people to cheat: lying, lack of communication, and neglection. All three go hand in hand when

In life we all aspire to do the greater good. We want the best for family, friends, society, and ourselves. The actions we create and do will either have a negative or positive ripple effect. Cheating is seen as something negative and frowned upon. In terms of creating the most positivity and goodness around us, it can be used in the right way. Cheating has the potential to do the greater good. Cheating can produce positive ripple effects, and in such matter should be acceptable and used. Cheating is only acceptable if a positive outcome becomes of it.

The night was a blustery night in the snowy season of the scariest year of Odell’s life and potentially could be the last couple weeks free of everything.

“Hey can I see your math homework? I really need to copy your answers. I didn’t have time to do it last night.” This is a common phrase for not only math, but all other subjects as well. Cheating has become easier over the years to accomplish because of cell phones, social media, etc. People can take pictures with their phones, they can call each other over the phone, and they can google the answers. These are just a few of the several ways that cheating is easy. This is why people do it so often. It’s an easy way out and they’re too lazy to do their work. So what are some forms of cheating? What are the consequences of cheating? What happens when you cheat in a college level course?

When referring to the concept of cheating, there are many definitions that a person may think of. According to Dictionary.com, there are three ways of viewing the term and thus three corresponding definitions. Nevertheless, the unified theme in the idea of cheating is the use of fraud, deception, and dishonesty (Random House Dictionary). Unfortunately, this is a notion that is continually acknowledged as acceptable. One scenario that is commonly concentrated on is the act of cheating in education.

Many people tend to equate ethics with their feelings. But being ethical is clearly not a matter of followings one’s feelings. Ethics, however, cannot be confined to religion nor is it the same as religion. Being ethical is not the same as following the law. The law often incorporates ethical standards to which most citizens subscribe. But laws, like feelings, can deviate from what is ethical. Finally, being ethical is not the same as doing “whatever society accepts.” In any society, most people accept standards that are ethical. But standards of behaviour in society can deviate from what is ethical. An entire society can become ethically corrupt. Nazi Germany is good example of a morally corrupt society. What then, is

Academic learning in today’s changing world brings demands to future professionals. Whether in a traditional classroom, or through distance learning, one thing is similar and which cannot bring forth a successful educational future. One thing that can damage anyone’s academic future is plagiarism. Whether being the future of a straight “A” student, or a student who is just getting by. The fact remains that anyone can fall victim to plagiarism. Plagiarism is the use of other writer’s words without acknowledging the source and taking those words and passing them off as one’s own ideas (Jones, 2001). Some people may think plagiarism is just copying someone else’s work but in reality plagiarism is much serious and hold very serious
