wow, i cannot understand way students are doing this? when we need to compete for jobs in the future one country that will be hard to beat is india, so why are we basicly giving them a head start its just not right. we need to learn to think for ourself, and not pay people to do it for us

I think kids are getting too lazy. People need to do their own papers and their own homework. As austyn said "We are giving them a head start." How do they think they will get a job? You can't get some one else to do your job.

why would people pay for others to do their work especially when they could get a F. i dont get why its so hard to just write the paper. all they are doing is hurting themselves. not only are they hurting their chances to get a job but they are putting a big dent in their wallet, for what a F. i think people should just do their own work.

I think that the pressure of succeeding is really getting to American kids. However, this is no excuse to "outsource your brain" as this video called it. We need to realize that if we want to succeed we need to LEARN. If you cheat, you don't learn.

Great thoughts everybody! The most important thing to remember, in my opinion, is that this doesn't just impact people on an individual level. It really is about the future of America and our ability to compete globally.

The whole thing is irrational. It's called individuality. I would think people would want to do their own unique work and make sure it's quality material. Not find a paper on the web and take the risk of having someone else turn in the same one. I think everyone should do a favor for themselves and be their own person.

i dont understand why the kids can't understand why students cant write there own paper/homework. like it kills them to write there own paper. The teachers are smart enough to tell if it was the students feelings in the paper. i dont understand it.
