Dishonesty
There is no way to justify cheating, whether it’s over simple tasks or complex ones. Cheating is a disease to some people that needs to be correctly healed. The innocent brain begs to be cleansed by a pure one’s knowledge and correct guidance that alters the wrong and mislead ideas that make us question our goodness. It is like an innocent person possessed with an evil spirit needs exorcism. No one truly sees cheating as the correct way to win as it’s not ethical. Dishonesty is a dark path that leads those who choose to follow it to a dangerous place where only those who fail at life reach. It is up to each person to choose whether to win with dignity or lose at life cheating unethically.

All evil is easy. Dying, losing, cheating, and mediocrity is easy. Stay away from easy.” This quote should be read more than once, which makes it make more sense every time it’s read. There is a deep meaning behind this interesting quote. For example, he compares the worst thing in life known as dying to cheating, which is a good comparison that makes people realize the seriousness of cheating as it reminds them that cheating is a slow process of suicide. Also, easy is described as evil in the beginning of the quote and at the end of the quote we are told to stay away from easy, which is basically a wake-up call to those who think cheating is an easy way out of any situation. Anything with average results should be avoided at all times, the best should be always a goal to achieve along with achieving what have never been achieved before because that is a step closer to stopping cheating within people. For someone to become rich or successful there must have been a lot of hard work behind that great achievement, which does not come for free. Cheating is described as evil, and evil was never ethical, therefore it should never be

    True citizens must go beyond the "right" expectations of a society by sometimes doing the wrong expectations in order to have the right outcome. Cheating is a wrong expectation in a society, and even though a society thinks cheating is never the right answer, there are a few cases where it may be a good thing. From the article, "What do school teachers and sip wrestlers have in common", by author Steven J. Dubner, he explains how cheating is a part of every citizens life, and how it may not always be a bad thing in a society because it is naturally a part of many people's lives and there may be some cases where cheating can be used as a slight benefit for some people. "It is the third grader who, worried about not making it to the fourth grade, copies test answers from the kid sitting next to him" (Steven J. Dubner 1). This example of how cheating may be a benefit might not be clear for some people because most people probably view cheating on a test, (whether it's just to pass a grade or not), as a meaningless act because the person who is cheating is not using the mind of there own.…

    Some real-world connections to this quote are when a person has a fear of something imaginary such as a monster or a beastie from Lord Of The Flies. A fear of something that does not exist is inside you and depending on the fear we may limit ourselves from doing things associated with that fear.

    Also, “Leaders who concentrate excessively on goals are at risk of complacency when they achieve them and in danger of crushing disappointment if they fail to reach them.” (MAXWELL) Leaders or people that focus on their future goals too much, they are crushed when they don’t achieve them. If they get crushed, then that would lead up to disappointment and despair. Making his men go out into deadly weather to conquer land, was too high of a risk of losing all his men. If he was a hero, he wouldn’t have made his men go out in possibly deadly weather or make too high of goals.…

    Moreover, everyday people have a choice in what they will say or do, thus people can make good things happen instead of bad simply by making better choices. To put it differently, when making a decision, it is important to determine the facts and identify the options. Next, the consequences for yourself and others must be considered; as for, everyone’s words and action have consequences and it is up to the doer to determine if they want to cause a positive or negative impact on those around them. Then the cycle would repeat for whoever is reacting to the original thing said or done, by that person deciding how they will react or if they will. For instance, someone can make the choice either choose to empower a person or tear them down, then they must choose what they want to do, if they choose to be friendly their actions would conclude in making friends.…

    A “computer genus” is able to access the college’s computer files at any time they please without authorization. The individual can access their own transcript, medical records, recommendations, and so on. Although the “computer genius” would have been granted access to these records, the person does not ask and does so any way. The question is whether or not this individual could be charged with “stealing.” In my opinion, I do not think that this individual can be accused of stealing.…

    Imagine two people playing a game of monopoly, resulting in one winning and rubbing it in the other one’s face. It makes that other person mad at the winner, which in turn causes the winner to be mad as well, and now that win means nothing. Also, in a Nascar race where winning is the main goal, the drivers who don’t win but showed a good effort still get recognized for trying their best because that’s all they really could do. I think that if someone has to cheat to win, then they didn’t really win. If a football team believed that the only thing that mattered was winning and decided to cheat to get there, they’ve already lost in my eyes.…
