Plagarism is a problem that plagues everybody.
Has anyone wondered that maybe why India has a higher rate of plagiarism is because it has more people that study??
The percentage of population that wants to cut corners is higher in the education system.
Which comes back to the false notion that if you arent a 100% you will not make it in life.
There are two motivations to falsify facts and plagiarize.
1. You are inherently lazy but do not wish to fall behind.
2. You are so obsessed with success that you are willing to cheat, lie and steal with ideas to get ahead.
Competition in India is high, everybody can live the good old middle class life with a maruti 800..
but not everybody makes a start by driving a Large saloon.
To do that, you have to step over a thousand heads.. and when you are pushed as kids to be the best at getting grades.. then getting grades is all you will see.
The other's, people who do not wish to work.. but still want to get a degree and start with everybody else at the rat race.. they just copy paste from here and there.. and hope to pass out unnoticed.
