Last summer The New York Times reported that 61 percent of undergraduates have admitted to some form of cheating on assignments and exams.
The thing this article didn't say that others I've read did was, they see nothing wrong with it. And, IIRC, the percentages are even higher for high and middle school students.
A sizable number of people in our society seem to have lost their sense of right and wrong. Or, if they possess that awareness, they're so entitled that they do whatever necessary to get what they want, seemingly without conscience or guilt. It's really disturbing.
