Journal #76
Please support your position by giving examples to justify your conclusion on the following questions. Pretend it is midway through the spring semester, and you are taking a math test. You've been struggling all semester in this class, and you know that this test will form a big part of your grade. You feel like you are doing quite well on the test until you come to the last problem. It is worth 20 points and you just can't remember how to solve it. As it happens, the class math whiz is sitting right in front of you and you can see he's just finished it. You are close enough to see how he solved it, and you know that no teacher can see you if you cheat.
What do you do? Why do you think you would make this decision? Do you think you will feel good about yourself later? What's the difference between cheating on a math test and lying about your age in order to save money on a movie ticket? When was the last time you cheated or lied? How did you feel about it later?.
(copy question. respond with 3 complete paragraphs - 9 sentences)
Use the word integrity, in your essay.
