“Fraud in the Online Age”

By: John D. Thomas

Title:

“The place where you can be young again”

First Impression:

            It’s a wrong practice if you will tolerate people to be lazy. It’s ok to help people to do part of the homework but not to the point that you will be the one to finish it. We are just helping them to be dependent to someone and always rely for some help. Once or twice is ok but consecutively? It’s a no no.

Quote:

“Can I Hire Someone to Write My Resume and Cover Letter?” What followed was an interesting debate about the legitimacy of paying for this kind of service.

Reflection:

You need to be aware that one bad decision can really harm your future especially if you’re a student who’s considering using this kind of service. It won’t help you at all but it will make you a good cheater. For an instance, you asked someone to do your homework for a fee and you were able to submit it accordingly. But what if your professor asked you to explain the content of your homework, what will you do? Its not really bad if you pay someone to do a job, you’re actually helping someone to earn. And it won’t be a problem if you’re really struggling in a certain area, then there must be a problem with your behavior. As the Internet evolves and new modes of teaching become available, we are seeing a general trend for students to reach out to scholars using the Internet and to be able to get help when they want and how they want to. You might not know that the person you asked to do your homework is a scam. The only thing you can keep for the rest of your life is education but if ruin it then your future will also depend on it. Better do it on your own that to regret it. You need to ask yourself what needs to be done to help yourself and get rid of that behavior. It won’t do you good, especially when you are applying for a job. How can you depend yourself if your resume or cover letter was made by someone else? Most employers are looking at your communication skills but if it wont appear as what your resume says, then you wont be able to get the job.

4.      Always think twice before you make any decision
5.      

5 Integrated Questions:

2.     How can we eliminate people who offer this kind of service?
3.     What are the causes why individuals are paying for the service?
4.     Why is it so hard for others to do things on their own?
5.     Why is it important to do a certain job on your own?
