So I completely forgot about this, but here I am three days later. Figured I should post something since it’s my first, regardless of it being late and not counting. Pretty much everyone seems to be talking about Schulte, so I guess I’ll say something about that. I agree with Schulte and believe that the rise in plagiarism is simply caused by how easily it is done nowadays and not because of a lack of morality. If people used to have the choice and the opportunity to cheat so easily, I think they would have done the same thing. People can be so lazy sometimes, even though cheating isn’t going to help them at all. For the students who don’t feel like they’ve done anything wrong, I don’t understand why they don’t see the mistake they’re making. They’re doing the bare minimum and not really learning anything, but I guess some people just do whatever they can to get by regardless of how it will affect them in the future. To make it even worse, technology already makes it much easier to research things then it was in the past. Yet it is used to make the work done almost nothing at all. It is a good thing to know how to use these technological advances to there full potential when it comes to research, but stealing someone’s work is just a waste of time in my opinion. The thing that bothers me most though, is that many people who cheat their way through end up at the top, even above some of the people who have tried and more deserve that position.
