Dilema

If you were taking a class where you struggled just to pass the class, and there was another student, who we will call Sue, is excelling because Sue's older cousin is doing the work for her. Here is were the dilemma comes into play, as your frustration grows you become more and more tempted to turn Sue in and expose her for the cheater she is. Do you drop the teacher an anonymous note about the implied cheating on the part of this other student? Or do you ignore the cheating and only seek help? Turning Sue in might get the teacher to slow down a little, and help you in the long run. What do you do?

***In regards to this dilemma I believe that, ethically, you can try and hint that there may be a student cheating and some sort of pop quiz or such may help in the catching of this student, but karma will eventually come around and get Sue. For although it is unethical to cheat, I believe that Sue would get what is coming to her, for she would know nothing in the long run and would not do well in greater education. It is more important for each individual to look out for themselves and not worry what the students around you are doing. Yes, if you were to help the teacher discover the cheating, the teacher may be likely to help you, but I'm sure the teacher would help no matter what. There are also students who naturally excel that can help you with your homework and in your classes. So, I therefore believe that what is your business is your business and trying to get involved with other peoples business will only cause more drama and possibly present more dilemmas. It is better to take of ones own business and try to get the help needed, and try to do better before worrying about other peoples grades, and as i said before Sue will find the consequences of her cheating harder then the class she is cheating in and will get the punishment she deserves. Concluding that one should not rat out Sue for cheating but worry about their own problems.



And that's my thoughts;
