To understand this integrity, one needs to understand what academic ethics are. These two words play a important role in every student life. Living with ethics is undoubtedly most integral part of everyone life. And bringing the same in academics is equally important for one to complete their studies on fair level. The academic ethics stands strong with six pillars namely Fairness, honesty, trust, respect, responsibility, and courage (Wikipedia, 2022). Furthermore, stating views on the queries formulated on it. Even after so much of advancement in technologies breaking all those odd and conventional methods of learning and teaching, studies have become so easy and approachable. With all these amenities in hands of student makes it even more worrisome why exactly this problem still prevails. All thanks to technologies, teachers can detect the plagiarism very easily which earlier students used to get away very easily as even educator does not use to have access to every article ever published or any studies done. And thus, it has led to a lot of duplication of work, now red light, no more plagiarism. Thanks to our search engines, leaving no stone unturned. There could be various aspects which I believe could be reasons for such misconduct. Could it be laziness, as universities make sure a student to be self reliant, for that they provide work which requires a lot of research and deployment of time. Even a proper survey has been conducted on the same to determine the misconduct in academics by the Research ethics board (REB) on university students of Canada (Scholars portal Journals, 2005). All in all, whether the reason is laziness or not, no one can escape the grave students dig by completing their assignment by unethical means. One should believe in hard work along with smart work.
