    Truth (love) doesn't cheat. But ignorance (absence of love) does.

    But they don't want to learn. I think encouraging someone to take a C- is a way to make them honest about how they've failed to acquire knowledge and that would be the first step to actually acquiring it. But they don't want to learn, so they only take negative things out of that C-... "I got a bad note"
    I think we fail to actually worry about acquiring knowledge and skills and using evaluations in our advantage, to actually evaluate our skills and make them better. I think that comes from thinking you go to school to have good notes... Without justifying why.

    Cheating is a form of narcissistic gain. That simple! Cheating "benefits" all walks of people from all walks of life in a
    MULTITUDE of
    "Supply and/gain" payoffs.
    Removing the need to "cheat" can be a start?

    So she mentions that traditional explanations for not cheating do not speak to the personality types that cheat, then goes with the Aristotilian explanation of why you must be ethical? There was no delving into WHY cheating is bad. She didn't explore it, just reinforced the notion that cheating hurts you... somehow. Not helpful. I was hoping for something more analytical.

      The answer is that if everyone begins to cheat nobody trusts anyone any more so all kinds of contract - group projects, buy and selling, projects where we have to rely on other people, become untenable. Widespread ignoring of ethics isn't about being 'good' or 'bad' in terms of morality, the fact is that when dishonesty reaches a certain level is just interferes too much with function. This is happening right now in top level sports, globally, that's a good example of interfering with function. The point of sports is to enjoy seeing whose effort has got them across the winning line because it's uplifting, it demonstrates how effort can produce rewards and so on. If the person took performance enhancing drugs then the premise of the entire sport is rendered irrelevant. There is also the simple homily: Do as you would be done by. If you don't wash your hands after using the toilet and shake somebody else's and they get sick, well this could also happen to you. We clearly can't run a healthy, functional and enjoyable society for long based on ignoring this.

      Aristotle suggests that doing things that violate your own sense of right and wrong is going have a lasting impact on how you think of yourself, which can in turn impact your self-efficacy- the Cheeto example was my effort to explain that without citing him. It's hard to capture Aristotle in a few minutes, I would recommend everyone read him and our excellent secondary literature on explaining his ethics. thanks!

      @@kbanghart I understand she doesn't like cheating. If I never cheated and remained a nice sober child who never went outside of the "norms" then I'd reckon I'd maybe be a healthier child but not someone to be proud of. This is just speculation of course. In my opinion though, cheating was okay.

    This is a really bad talk. All the way through she admits she is manipulative and dishonest with her students. Who would want to listen to a person like that talking about being honest.
    Cheating doesn't really matter if you are happy with it but I think very little people can be. So if you are a cheater what you should analyse is if cheating gets you closer to where you want to be or just makes you apear closer to other people.
    You cannot change a person's mind if they don't understand why they should change it for their own benefit, not yours.

    • @kbanghart
      @kbanghart 3 года назад +2

      Where does she admit she lies and manipulates her students? I've watched almost the entire video and didn't see it. She's not the greatest speaker, but what she says is true, students won't stop cheating until it really affects them personally. You can tell them anything you want, but until they really understand it within, they won't change.

    Watched half the video. This "authority" is floundering and making no sense. The ancient East European look with the flowered apron doesn't help. Come up to present time mam, take a good look at your ethics, and get them in order - and stop telling us to drop ours. I can't believe you are teaching our kids - but then looking at the state of a graduate today that are unable to think, add or subtract, I guess it isn't so hard to believe.

      gosh so mean, Dave. I do look at ethics, this was an attempt to get people to think in terms of Aristotelian ethics. And my students are incredibly smart by any measure, able to think, add, and subtract.

  • @bedhathebest3743
    @bedhathebest3743 5 лет назад +2

    I wouldn't necessarily consider cheating bad. Cheating is only cheating if caught, so as long as you do it smartly and not get caught, you earned that A or whatever you got because you applied yourself. You put in the work for it.
    PS: Cheating takes more courage than actually studying.

      She has a loquacious communication style. It's the opposite of TL;DR and for, (somewhere between 20 and 80 percent of) my students, it is a very effective form of communication. (For me it is frustrating and feels like a waste of time.)
