A non-moral dilemma about cheating, but it brings up some points (2019)
You can’t cheat at learning.<p>You can only cheat at a game, which is what the accreditation system we call education is.<p>If we stopped making it a game, without points to earn and rewards for points, people wouldn’t cheat.<p>That aside, I think the act of cheating is a call for help, even if the callee doesn’t realise it. The pressure to do well coupled with a persons lack of self confidence or self belief come together to make cheating a reasonable route.<p>If you believed you could never get x, that getting x would massively improve your life, social status, parents acceptance etc you might be prepared to do anything to get x.<p>Not everyone though, some are probably just resigned to never getting  x. They too are calling for help imo. But we weren’t talking about them.
