The Cheating Culture--What Can be done about it?
Cheating can only spread through rampantly if people like you and me LET IT. If there are enough people doing the right thing and not giving in to temptation of cheating, and if we only teach that to our own children, the world would be better. That’s not to say we would eradicate cheating…that has existed through ages and always will(that’s just basic human nature). What we can do is not perpetuate it further.
What we could do is to shame the person who gets caught cheating, ban him from all public jobs. In Mumbai in India, the supervisor has the authority to throw the guy who copies or talks during an exam in any way. But then again, people will just look for ways to NOT get caught…it still wouldn’t eliminate cheating. So the only way forward is to instill certain values in kids, so that the next generation does not cheat (as much!).
