Speaking Plagiarism & Cheating in Life

Nowadays plagiarism and cheating are common in the community, this is because he/she
just doesnt want to think too much, doesnt care about the people who see or hear about that,
and doesnt want to give more effort for study but they must get a good score.
Education at home is very important. It influences we as a student for making decisions
and actions. Everywhere we go we heard of "do your best in school, get the best grades (college
admission), and you will succeed". Today, the world outside of class is getting more competitive,
and people base our capacity in how well we did in school, how great are our grades. When
grades are the principal tool to measure academic success, it also creates for students the most
important thing to worry about, instead of learning something. Students feel pressure to get good
grades.
Here are some things that we can do to avoid plagiarism and cheating, which I also
applied in my own life :
1. Give more time to study
2. Discuss with your friends or tutor
3. Give due acknowledgement whenever we use material that is taken from another
source
4. Do your best and believe in yourself
In conclusion I think laziness and environment are the most common reason for plagiarism
and cheating, so I think its important to realize that plagiarism and cheating are the easiest way
to get good grades, but, does it really works? It might works. It works like a shadow, you get
your A but you get nothing in your brain.
