So many kids are cheating these days on tests in school, term papers and class assignments it makes one question the ethics in business, government and just our general population as a whole. Some have blamed the Internet where many students go to find information for their assignments and simply copy it.

Back when I was in school we did not have anything like the Internet and copying information from the Encyclopedia was impossible due to the way they were written. Teachers and Professors are indeed onto this and now they specifically check the Internet to see if any of their students are cheating. Fortunately they can catch a lot of them, but unfortunately they catch over 45% cheating.

I ask you what does this say for the future of our nation? If everyone grows up cheating, how are we suppose to expect to keep our nation in check? And it is not only our nation, as in China they found that 60% of the white papers coming out of their colleges and Universities had either bogus data, plagiarism or some other form of academic nonsense.

If our students are cheating and China is even more then what does this say for the future of the human race? You say today we have a problem with academic copying and cheating, but tomorrow it is fraud, traitorism and misrepresentations. Surely we can do better than this and indeed the forward progression of our species depends on it. Consider this in 2006.
