I got a task from my teacher. We are going to write little about ethics. Now when I thought about what I'm going to write about ethics, I thought that there are many articles about this on the internet, which I could take and put my name to. But is it really right to do that?

It isn’t by the rules, because you cheat. But the consequence can be both good and bad. If you take a work/article from the internet and do something with it, you have very good chance to get a good grade at just that thing. But if we look at the other side, it’s big chance the teacher discovers you and you get a lower grade. But if you are thinking of stealing an article/work from the internet and not be discovered you must re-write the article with your own words. But the consequences to this, is that it takes much time and that it requires a great deal of energy, and you have a risk to be discovered if you have stolen the work. Okay, you maybe mean well if you steel an article from the internet, but to who do you mean well? Yes, only to yourself, because you are lazy. Infact it is no one who wins on this, you are not worth the grade you get. If you have taken an article, you feel happy if you get a good grade, or maybe you think "Oh, nice, there was this work done!" I don't think that the real writer to the article feels the same like you, if the writer sees it. And when the teacher sees that you have cheated, it won’t make you happy to get lower grade.

Your actions can become a law

If your actions can become a law which all people must follow, it will end with you really not knowing so much about the thing you write about. But if it should be a law that you have to steel other peoples articles/works, what is the meaning that you go in school? After it has become a law, no one will want to write, for why should I write something when I can take your job and only put my name under it? So no one can know who the origin man to the article is. And it shouldn’t been the same value in the text. This is very upsetting. Finally, do you know if I have written this article or have I stolen it? This is a really tough question…
