It creates a culture of Academic or business dishonesty or cheating that causes more harm than good to the person cheating, to the people around him or her, and the society.
It creates a culture of mistrust according to Hanby Hudgens . If cheating is justifiable, do we trust the doctor performing surgery on us if we found out that he cheated his way through medical school? Do we trust a pilot who cheated to get his or her license to fly a plane?
