A Culture of Cheating Michelle Kemp

Culture – the integrated system of socially acquired values, beliefs, and rules of conduct which define the range of accepted behaviors in any given society. Cheating - any act of lying, deception, fraud, trickery, imposture, or imposition. Cheating characteristically is employed to create an unfair advantage, usually in one's own interest, and often at the expense of others.

Records shows that cheating and scandals have been a part of our world’s past for as long as history has been documented. This presentation could go on with a list forever. I am sure you have even thought of a few examples that I did not mention.

We must work together on this problem to reach a solution.

Integrity No one is perfect, but it makes you wonder if anyone ISN’T cheating. I am trying to do my part. Are you trying to do yours?
