University of Central Florida Business Professor in yesterday's news was rescheduling a graduating seniors business class in which 200 out of 600 students cheated on a midterm exam. One of the students interviewed on national tv was indignant and he said: "College cheating on exams, everybody does it, why is he (the Professor) trying to make this a moral issue?"
If I had dentures, they would have dropped out of my mouth. This guy is a graduating senior and quite obviously a cheater and he considers himself to be the norm. I'm sure his parents are just so proud! To know that they funded an education resulting in a degree that is all a fraud must make them feel all warm and fuzzy.
We currently are in an economic collapse of global proportions because of this type of insanity. The banking industry created loans for segment of the population whose likelihood of repayment was high risk but they did it knowing that they were going to make a windfall up front, then those creative geniuses repackaged and sold off these new bundles to unsuspecting investors- nothing immoral here....
The latest is pencil whipping foreclosure documents which is holding up closings left and right and once again delaying recovery that hurts not only our nation but nations globally.
When did we lose our moral compasses? It is obvious that this student doesn't see the ramifications of his actions, he is only looking out for himself. He has only his government- politicians and institutions to look to as role models. Isn't this what they have shown him all along? Self serving interests justify the means.
We MUST get back to honesty as the only policy. We MUST get back to what is the good for all and not just selected parties. It must be a commitment that each of us make every day and renew every day in each and every dealing whether it is personal or business. This is the only way we will save our society and get back on track and stop the insanity.
