Being a full-time student can be demanding in this day and time. With education cost on the rise and most students have to work a full-time job to support themselves, getting a degree can be exigent. With less hours of study time and juggling being an adult can overwhelm a student. Do you think the internet has made students less ethical? Yes I do. Not only do I think the internet has made students less ethical but society has a contributing factor as well. Back in the early 90’s when I first started college the library was your best friend. A student would have to really study and read in order to complete assignments. With the internet so accessible and no type of stipulation as to the material that can be seen, a term paper or a test can be purchase for a small fee. With on-line education also being a new way of learning it makes it easy to access these materials that are not valuable to a student. Now, I really thought at first that these materials were to guide a student as to what the assignment will require to get an A but some students use them and pass it off as their own work. Since there is new technology that can detect purchase essay or work, it makes it imposable to receive credit as work that the student has completed. Which brings me to my next subject should there be a code of ethics for internet authors. Yes there should. Since the internet is the only resources that are available for research, it should not allow fiction information to be published. If it is opinionated information that is being provided it should be listed that way. With e-commence and other publishing avenues available internet is the cheapest way to publish and it will reach a vast majority of the audiences.
