 For students who wait till the last minute to complete an assignment or are having a hard time figuring out what to write about, they can easily find essays related to their topic and are often tempted to borrow from the work of others, some go even further and just submit the whole essay as their's. Colleges and Universities are using websites created to help filter through papers and determine if it's plagiarized or not, that is the most commonly used tool by schools, also the teacher can go through the paper and realize obvious signs that let them know the paper has been plagiarized e.g (forgetting to reformat the paper). Teachers are also asking students to turn their papers into a website that also checks for plagiarism.

Ethics and Behavior

I worked at Motel 6 for the 2008 summer. Money had rarely been missing from my cash register whenever shifts changed hands. Cash registers were set to always start at $350.00 if everything was accurate. on this particular night i checked in a customer for three nights and gave him the wrong amount of change back essentially charging him for one night instead of three basically. I left work that thinking my manager would figure it out by the time i returned to work the next night. Upon arriving at work the next day my manager called me into the office to ask about the cash register being short close to $180.00, immediately i responded with the obvious answer i didn't take any money from the register and that to my knowledge i did everything according to procedure. I was sent home because my manager believed that had took the money without even as much as investigation into the matter i have never had my ethics had never been in question as much as it was then to make matters wore my uncle was the district manager and so he was contacted because i was written up. He called me into work a day later and went over the nights events and what i remember about it after explaining everything he went over the papers and realized where i made my mistake which was giving the customer to much cash back during the transaction. Thankfully the customer also realized the mistake and returned the excess change he received. Outside of the fact that my uncle helped raise me, if it wasn't for his professional ethics and the morale's of the customer i wouldn't have been able to keep my job

Falling Behind

I feel the United States is falling far behind in education because of its approach to education. A lot of the teachers may understand the material they need too teach but if you cannot relate it to a student the right way they wont understand it and thus transfers to the PISA test conducted in 60 countries. the students also pay a major role in US falling behind you cannot teach anyone who isn't interested or concerned with education and i feel its a major problem plaguing this country. This problem cannot be fixed with the current generation it has to start with the next drill the importance of education to young children now and it wont be an issue in future years.
