Nick Berger Plagiarism

Cheating and plagiarism has become a larger issue than it ever has been.  This is party due to the internet and all the resources available as well as the competition to be better than the next person.  In today's world some people would do anything to be better even if it is totally immoral.  In any subject, cheating and plagiarism can consist of the same concepts such as copying other people's work or looking at the answers on a test.  If somebody were to cheat on a math test, it would be very difficult to do so because most of the time the problems are lengthy multi step problems in which it would be very hard to copy.  If there is a multiple choice test in a history class, it is easier to cheat because you can see letters for answer choices much easier.  Also in history, people's ideas about a topic can be researched and slightly changed by copying and pasting with the changing around of a few words.  To do this in math, one person must copy the entire problem from another.
