In our modern world people can’t live without cheating. Every human has cheated in his life, minimal one time, maximal – once or twice a day. This thesis can be proved by the words of A.A. Milne: “If one is to be called a liar, one may as well make an effort to deserve the name”. From my point of view, our world is full of cheating. And the reason of it is not its popularity or necessity. The main reason of cheating, to my mind, is the possibility to do justice to oneself, to be better, cleverer, smarter, etc. As Baron Byron says, cheating is a kind of some awry truth: “And, after all, what is a lie? ‘Tis but the truth in masquerade”.
The investigation of the question of cheating is optimally held in accordance with different social groups of people. Let’s consider the reasons of cheating, first, according to gender characterization of people, i.e. why do men and women cheat. Let’s also investigate the reasons of cheating in different age groups of people, for example, the reasons of children’s cheating towards their parents – adult group of people.
It must be noted, that the reasons of women’s, men’s and children’s cheat cross in some way. Thus, men try to look more attractive in the eyes of the opposite sex. Children, in their tern, try to look wealthier, cleverer and more interesting than their coevals. Men cheat in order to avoid peculiar explanation of their inactivity or offence. Women do the same thing, concealing their expenses from their families. I can say the same thing about children, who cheat in order to avoid punishment and reproaches from adults.
In conclusion I must say that I don’t give a spur to cheat. I am sure that everyone must tell the truth. In this case we can be happier and more confident in our friends, families and colleagues.
