What is even more incredible is the disconnect between these students’ behaviors and their personal beliefs. Ninety-two percent of these students believed that their personal characters were satisfactory with a whopping 74% agreeing to the statement: "When it comes to doing what is right, I am better than most people I know." From the sound of these findings, no wonder we have politicians who believe that their misleading to false ads are O.K. and that they did nothing wrong.

The results of this survey confirmed earlier surveys. In 2005, Donald McCabe at Rutgers University published a survey where more than 70% of students admitted to cheating at least once on a test. Cheating is not just reserved for highs school students. McCabe also surveyed graduate students and discovered cheating attitudes for:

• 56% of business students
• 54% of engineering students
• 48% of education students
• 45% of law school students

The ramifications from this research are far reaching. For example, business ethics has been the talk of many with the Enron executives and various other business executives being indicted. With over 1 out of 2 believing that cheating is OK, can this be part of the reason? Capitalism does not make people unethical. People are unethical before they enter the business marketplace.

In education, more and more is written about how parents are responsible for the conduct of their children. Yet, when almost 1 out of every 2 teachers cheated at some time indicates that the issue of work ethics or what I call attitudes of performance is just as much about teachers as the parents.

And in our society where many of the laws are written by lawyers who have been elected to office, is it a wonder that there is an attitude of going around the law when almost 1 out of 2 have an acceptable attitude about cheating?

Ethics is critical to any society not only surviving, but thriving. These surveys indicate that the U.S. business, education and future are at risk. When young people to adult U.S. citizens can hear and see their leadership including:

• U.S. Senator who said that his lawyers approved a report for a land deal where he made over a million dollars for land he did not own

  New Tendencies in the Art of Advertising
  How to sell things has become a science more than an art in the last few decades. Crowds of people of different professions work hard to find the way to be ”different”. They use all their creativity to be appearing.New tendencies in advertising seem to be based on the idea “the first impact should be long-lasting and conservative”. The more shocking an advert is the easier it remains in one’s mind.Ide

    Invoice Discounting For Canadian Companies
    Do you own a small or medium sized business? Then you know that obtaining business financing in Canada has not been an easy task.

      Experiences of an Accidental Judge
      There is a story that, years ago a person high up in the U.S. Patent Office resigned. The reason stated was that “everything worth inventing had been invented.” That certainly was not the case as evidenced by my recent experience.I was invited to visit the Chicago “Casting Call” for “Everyday Edisions, ™” a TV show that airs on PBS stations. The format is similar to the popular “Antiques Roadshow” except

        Did you know that 80% of all sales are made after the 5th contact? The biggest mistake we make is not following up with our clients regularly.
