What constitutes cheating I ask myself on a regular basis. Is cheating looking over the shoulder of a friend during an exam for the answers, stacking your work on another OFFICE colleagues desk to make you look efficient, or simply using your status as a uni student to buy cheap software from the folks at www.itsnotcheating.com.au . According to the folks at www.itsnotcheating.com.au its not cheating if you -
So I ask is using your status as a uni student to enter blog competitions, and pruchase cheap software cheating (Microsoft Office Ultimate Edition 2007 for $75.00) or is it taking advantage of a generous offer. If it is who is it cheating, why is it cheating, what are the ramifications of cheating, can anyone help me out.
Are we doing enough to keep our kids alive on the roads?
5 Answers Published 1 year, 10 months ago in Making News.Are we as a society doing enough to keep our kids alive on the roads? After another horror night on the roads a friend of my mother’s was woken with the news that her 19 year old nephew was dead. Victim of a road accident. While there is no official verdict on the cause of the accident there was obvious factors that contributed to the incident. Inexperience, speed, and a late night. Should we be insisting on the government making it harder to get a liscence? Should we insist on restricted driving hours? Should we lobby for having the engine capacity of cars our kids are allowed to drive be restricted to something slightly above a lawn mower? How do we stop our children killing themselves on the road?
Are schools just venues where child abuse is sanctioned?
5 Answers Published 1 year, 10 months ago in My life.Hi to all those who are currently weaving their way through the various Nooks that have sprung up over the last few weeks. I will have to admit that this is a new experience for me. For the past twenty two years my partner has been on the rocky road of the PC boom while I have chosen to be blissfully unaware of the delights of front room computing. However following a midlife career review I have been thrust into the IT arena hence the need to develop a rapport with current technology. For years I have used excuses such as “I don’t need to know how to do that at the moment (my partner does so if I want something more than a letter typed he will do it for me), orI will learn it when I need it for work”. I bet there are lots of you out there that resisted the tech evolution by similar rationalizations when all along the reason probably was that it just looked too hard and was too confusing. I started venturing from my comfort zone by undertaking Post Graduate studies in the evolving discipline of Health (or Clinical) Informatics. While I am still attempting to master some reasonably basic skills in application utilization I have been on a sharpe learning curve over the last 12 months and to my surprise really loving it. So all of you out there that are hesitant about changing your career or learning something new give yourself a treat and take the leap.
