Cheating

Cheating is a topic we never got to do on the module, perhaps I suppose because many forms of it are illegal yet I still feel that I should cover it in this blog.
Cheating is bad no matter which way you look at it, but just for a minute suppose that it is necessary for your continued progress at a school, college or university. If you knew you could pass but couldn't for some reason revise, would it be so bad to cheat a little to continue your survival at that place in order for you to gain a better quality of life through education?
This is something that I brushed upon on the section about stealing. Is it ok to steal to feed your starving family as it says in the Bible? Surely this same view can be applied with cheating.
Of course there are worse forms, just like lying. The most recent form of cheating on the news was the MP's cheating the tax payers by spending their money on islands for their duck ponds and trouser presses (the most essential requirement for a British MP) during the recession. There is also the cheating linked to gambling and relationships. To "cheat" in a relationship is wrong as we have already said previously in this blog and surely in a casino it would be the same, robbing people of their fair chance to win money that (if it wasn't for you) would have been rightfully theirs.
