Do you think that everybody cheats? Well maybe yes. As human beings capable of being tempted, we are sometimes forced to cheat. Simple things like cheating on a math test, is it justifiable?

Yes, I do think everyone cheats or has cheated at some time in their life. Whether it be on a test, on your significant other...ect. It is not justifiable as it hurts someone. If you cheat on a spelling test (I used to do this) then your hurting youself, as I am a horrible speller.

I just wanted to quote this,"cheating is hurting yourself". I strongly agree with that. If we cheated, we are the one being fooled.

Hm, very good question, you've put me in quite an ethical bind. For one, I'd have to say cheating is wrong. However, everyone does it, plain and simple. The only problem is, some people don't get caught. That puts those in a bind that cheated and got caught. You could be cheating off the person on your right, while the person to your left is cheating off you, but you get caught. How is that fair? It's not of course. But, once again, everyone does it. So, considering this a bit logically, I'd say cheating can sometimes be justified. If it's a class you suck in, and you've worked extremely hard to pass but it's just not happening, I'd say a quick peak or too is ok. I'd let it go in that situation. However, if a student is nothing but a slacker, and does nothing, and cheats to get by, then I have a problem with that. That's not fair to those that work hard and try their best to pass.

But we all know that cheating is bad. As they say, the end doesn't justify the means. No matter how good your intentions are, if you are doing it in a bad way, there is no good in it.
