I'm not sure the logic stands. Following the same logic, I can also argue that of course looting should not exist, but it does. Looter could've taken a decent job if they could find one. Plagiarism shouldn't exist, but it does. The cheating students could've avoid cheating if they could get higher scores so they can find a decent job. And on and on.
What's wrong is wrong. Period.
- ghiculescu 4y agoLooting is a crime. Writing an essay isn’t. (Maybe it’s not allowed for the college student.)
- g9yuayon 4y agoWriting an essay for someone else is cheating. It's still wrong. Just not as punishable as a crime. BTW, cheating in Keju (Chinese imperial examination) is a capitol crime, as it undermined the fairness of the system and the quality of the ruling class, and derived the chances of other poor candidates. Not that I think cheating is serious, mind you, just wanted to give perspective on how different cultures perceive cheating and the underlying rationales.
