Part 1 Values Discussion (5 points)
The Internet and other technologies like camera phones and messaging have made cheating in college easier than ever. You will examine this in a discussion. Read "Author explains moral deterioration in America" at http://www.dailytoreador.com/2.13413/author-explains-moral-deterioration-in-america-1.1827320
1. Start a New Topic in the Values Discussion. Write a paragraph saying how you feel about cheating. Have you done it? Why or why not? Do you think that the number of students cheating at Harbor College is as high as David Callahan says? Use information from the article in your post. The article gives lots of reasons why people cheat.
Don't worry, I'm not going to report your or judge you. I think everyone has crossed the line at least a little or has been really tempted. You don't have to give any specifics.
2. Write a second paragraph where you discuss what should be done to stop cheating (or if it should be stopped at all). Whose responsibility is it?
3. Read another student's topic. Reply describing a value that is demonstrated in their post. Do not just use values from a reply another student has already posted. Either find other values that you think the other student missed or reply to a different student's post.
