Why Cheating Is Wrong

Deceitfulness and cheating seems normal nowadays because so many people are involved in doing it. Everywhere one looks, some sort of precocious deed is being done. I believe that cheating is wrong and that it goes against what God desires. Along with this, our sense of a moral standard has gone way down. As seen across the globe, cheating in school, life, and everyday tasks has drastically become worse and worse, causing the world to be even more corrupt. A common place where cheating and deception is prevalent is in school. Whether it is in grade school, high school, or college, the amount of dishonesty that takes place there is remarkable. When it comes to quizzes or tests, teachers do their best to prevent it. However, students still find

There was an event in the past that happened to me where a lot of students got caught for plagiarism. It was in AP Literature class and all the students were required to do chapter summaries on this certain book. We had all semester to finish this, but ninety percent of us procrastinated in doing it. The last week of the semester came around and a lot of us panicked because we did not know what to do. Being that it was the last week of the semester, the tests and quizzes were happening, which made us overwhelmed and stressed out. So when it came to doing the chapter summaries on that book, almost all of us did not want to do the work. We decided to go on SparkNotes to get the chapter summaries, rewording the phrases and doing our best to make it seem like we actually read. Finally, the assignment was finished. Two weeks past after turning it in and around thirty of us were busted with plagiarism, including myself. We all got a zero on our assignment and a majority of us were put on probation because we were on National Honors Society. I definitely learned from that experience that I have to do my own work instead of relying on other people to do my work for me. This form a cheating is seen everywhere across the globe. The great thing about it is that teachers are cracking down more on plagiarism. In college, students are getting kicked out of school or losing jobs because of it.

Everywhere one looks, some sort of mischief is going on. A common type that happens everyday is stealing. Whether it is stealing from the local grocery store or from the gas station, the place is getting cheated out of their business. It is unfair for those businesses to provide for the needs of the people without getting paid for it. Another common place where this is found is in the work systems. For some jobs, people are laid off because the business has some sort of problem. This causes workers, who are doing their best to provide for their family, to be jobless. Along with this, many illegal immigrants have jobs in the United States. Many people that do not have jobs in the United States are looking for jobs while illegal immigrants already have jobs and they are not even part of this country. This is unfair because these immigrants should not have these rights whatsoever. Cheating is a common way that people thrive in today’s world and it is extremely sad to
