• Talk with your group and report out to the facilitator.
A Cheating Culture• Widespread pattern of cheating• Hard to document• Evidence suggests people are cheating
more and feeling less guilty• Idea that “everybody does it” makes it
socially acceptable• Professional life has changed such that
playing by the rules automatically places you below average

professionally, or financially• Sometimes it involves breaking or violating
laws, sometimes it does not• Most of it is done by people who view
themselves as upstanding members of societyAt your table, define “cheating” and “dishonesty” (include both students and adults in your discussion). Report out to your facilitator.
