copying morals

we lie, cheat, and steal. i cant say i haven't, and neither can anyone else alive. well, unless there is still a bubble boy out there... if so, im rather interested to meet him.

moral standards are definatly changing, and judging one moral code with another is rather dicey. morals are created by the society who follow them, and as the hoi polloi change so will the moral standards. who are we to say what is right anyways? the morals of as recently as last century are now considered grotesque, and who can say which of our standards will be gawked at by future generations. also, by having an existing moral code that is widely agreed upon, yes, we create stability and guidelines, but we also stifle progression and individuality. many people accept the morals of society without really stopping to think about what they mean. we accept the values as right because that is what everyone else accepts and has accepted.
i believe that more people should take the time to cultivate their own beliefs and morals, not follow the norm. think for yourself people.

but then again, if you do not have the courage to do so, your loss.

back to copying. i personally do not have any problem with it. i admitt i am being rather selfish in saying this, but i dont mind when people copy. when i do not do the work and copy i realize what i am doing and i would normally go back and make sure i do understand what i hurridly copied earlier. moreover, if they choose to work off others and not learn it themselves, all the more chance i will advance ahead of them when i do the work. its not hurting me when they are not learning. all the better for me to triumph with.

but i can sympathize with those i see in the halls copying, and since there isnt curve grading here, it does not affect me much. i do it, you do it, we let it happen. thats life.
