Internet Plagiarism

I think that these two arguments are very intriguing. Both of these authors believe that plagiarism is wrong. Hunt believes that students plagiarize because of all the pressure to succeed in school. He believes that the only reason why students plagiarize is because there are so much pressure on them to receive a good score on the assignment. Sadler believes that students should generally not even use the internet, because there is a high chance that the individual will plagiarize. She believes that plagiarism raises the grading scale, and that it is cheating both the students and the teachers. The teachers are trying to teach the students, but the students are not learning the materials due to plagiarism. I agree more with Hunt. I think that students cheat just because there is such great pressure to get good grades. There was this girl in my class that had a lot of pressure to get good grades. Her parents would always pressure her into getting straight As, and if she did not her parents would be really mad at her. She often times cheated on papers to get As because her writing skills were not that great. If she did not have all this pressure maybe she would have not cheated and actually got help from the teacher and tried to improve her writing skills.
