Who thinks its ok to cheat or lie just a little at work or school and do you and how?

I don't.  I don't think it's worth it - to sacrifice what you've worked for so far?  If you cheat, and you're willing to take that risk, either you really don't care much about the consequences, or you don't have much faith in your own abilities - I mean, why would you?  You'd say "because I want to do anything to get ahead", so obviously you don't believe you have the brains or concentration to do that without studying - or at least the time it takes you to prepare the cheat sheet, you couldn't learn the material on your own.\n\nAnother convincing aspect for why not to cheat is that if you do, you can't look at your accomplishments and know that you were solely responsible.  Of course you can say to yourself that you are where you are because you cheated, but I doubt it makes *that* much difference, and even if it does make a signifficant difference, sure to the outside world you're great, but really, you've accomplished very little.\n\nFurther, if you're in a situation where you have to actually perform, and you got to where you are because you cheated, would you really be as able to figure it out as the person who has spent the time to work on it and understands not just whatever it is you're doing, but how to approach it without a "crutch"?\n\nFinally, I think it's important to stay true to yourself.  Cheating reflects on the individual.  If you cheat one place, you'll do it another.  If it's more important how you look rather than upholding your own ethics, then that's your problem, but if the person is considering cheating/not cheating, I'm assuming they're more than just an empty shell of a person.\n\nUsing a recent example, in grad school about 75% of the class was handing around the answers to a final exam.  It came to me, but I didn't take it.  What happened?  I was bottom 10% of the class (I truthfully didn't study much either - it was math!).  What happened?  I was not responsible for cheapening the grades or the degree of the other students who didn't cheat.  I also worked harder and kicked azz on the later exams.\n\nFour years later, did that C+ make a difference?  Not at all.  Would it have made a difference had I gotten the B+? Probably not.  Maybe had I cheated on all my exams, sure.  But regardless of any of that, I can say that sure, I earned that C+ but it was all me.  I also earned the subsequent As and Bs.  That degree was all of my work, and I wouldn't change any of that in any way.\n\nSo, after probably the longest answer, if the person wants to cheat, that's their call, but I think it shows that person is weak and can't deal with their own insecurities, challenges, failures, and even successes.

Afraid of being caught... anyone who says otherwise may not be being too honest w/themselves.  Who doesn't want something for nothing?!

No, I have not. Cheating is not fun or getting something over on the teacher and your parents. Cheating is only hurting yourself. Instead of cheating, you should have studied every night throughout the year so that you would know the material of the course and all you would have to when the teacher announced that it was time for finals would be to review the material. This does mean waiting until the last minute and staying up all night studying or having some friends over ostensibly to study but instead partying all night until the early hours of the morning so that nobody knows anything the next day. When you take a course in high school or college or even elementary school, it is wrong to cheat because as I said earlier you are only hurting yourself; you're mot hurting anybody else.

Obviously those who do the cheating say it is a good thing and those who are cheated on say it is a bad thing.  It is all from your own perspective and beliefs about relationships.

I feel for people who have a "cheating" mindset.  They say their only goal is to pass and succeed.  Yet they do not realize that they can have no self-worth in the process, because their success depends on the talents and abilities of others.\n\nSecond, whether or not other people have cheated and appear to have been successful in the process is beside the point.  The question is whether I will stoop to their level, or whether I will have integrity.  "What do you expect me to do?"  Honesty is an option, because a grade of "A" means nothing if it was not earned.\n\nThe problem we are running into--the reason that so many states are finding problems with their education systems--where high school students graduate but cannot read or do basic mathematics--is because we are focused on passing and not learning.  And this is going to catch up with us.  For the individuals who cheat, they will ultimately cheat themselves out of success.  For us as a nation, we will find ourselves paying the consequences for this in the near future, I fear.\n\nThe gap between the "haves" and the "have nots" is widening.  There are fewer and fewer who are learning and applying themselves--and as that number continues to shrink, there will be no foundation left.  Those who "have not" understanding but have only focused on getting the passing grade are ultimately hurting us all.\n\nGeez, now you got me on my soap box!!!

DO FOR OTHERS WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO DO FOR YOU......!!!\nI mean if you had a boy/girlfriend dear to you who's cheating behind your back,would you like your friends to keep it secretly from you ? Dont think so.\nFor me I would definitly more than just tell him/her the truth, I would kick that cheaters butt all the way to kingdom come......NO KIDDING

Why I think a lot of men and women lie to get what they want is because it's easier to lie..to go sneaking around cheating..or doing things behind their partners back. I think that when a person does this..it just shows that their cowards because usually people do it so they don't get caught or are afraid of getting caught...just be honest and deal with the consequences...

flirting or cheating one or the other depending on motive

You have to be honest with yourself and trust yourself before others can trust you. Would you trust you if you were any of these people? Why? Whynot? Answer these questions to yourself. You could admit to these people that you do occasionally bend the truth, but as you said, not to intentionally hurt anyone. Let them know that deep down you are an honest, trustworthy person.

Not really. I think that there is a difference between giving half truth or lieing though. I think most of the time people lie because they do not want to hurt others. But what they do not realize is that the other person will usually find out that they were lied to and that hurts a lot worse then the truth.\nIt is best to tell the truth and just get it over with no matter how hard it is to say. Even if you half it or sugar coat it. At least be honest. And you have to be honest with yourself too before you can be honest with someone else. And being true to yourself is one of the most important qualities a person can have.\nI have taught my daughter I would rather her tell me the truth and she will get in less trouble then that than if she lies and I find out she is lying.

go with your gut feeling to be on the safe side. usually that feeling is right. if you feel that strongly about someone lying to you, definatly confront them and talk it out. yes that persons going to get upset and deffensive but you have the right to know if you suspect something going on behind your back.

well, if you're a staff/faculty member, then you might, but it was at home, so it's really nobody's business.\nBesides that, maybe you should have considered the consequences before you went around acting like an as*hole, ya think?

Maybe you're supposed to get caught? Or confess?

nope. how would lying and cheating be morally correct? people go to jail for those things. you lie, you go to jail, you cheat on a test, u get expelled. you cheat on your taxes, fine and jail, same principles, different situation

I'm a teacher and while I don't condone cheating, I don't recommend kids telling on each other.  It's not a good way to make friends.  You know the right thing to do (not cheat) and that's what's important.  The girl in your class may get caught.  If not, she's just cheating herself out of a good education.
