Cheating

What moral obligation does a student have if he or she witnesses cheating? Write a PIE paragraph in response.

The duty of a student on witnessing another student cheating is to inform the instructor. But this happens rarely because students are concerned about their own self esteem in the class and they obviously do not want themselves to be called a "snitch." Many of them are friends with these cheaters and so might not choose to complain. Many do not take any interest if his/her fellow students are conducting an act which is morally wrong. But at this point, I only think of Mark Twain's quotation that,"Always do right-this will gratify some and astonish the rest." He gives out a message that no matter what others think of an individual, one should always be honest with his/her actions. This will in turn stand good for those who cheat by becoming aware of the ethics in the society.
