"What is wrong is wrong, even if everyone does it. What is right is right, even if no one does it." Whether or not a group of people are doing the wrong thing, the action will always be wrong. In any case, cheating is simply not a moral thing to do. Yet many people do it anyway. A person will understand that he will not be caught. Betrayal can happen in a relationship, on a document or on an exam. The severity of the offense depends on what the person did. At some point, almost everyone will wonder whether their action was wrong. In most ethical issues, it is a black and white area. What one person sees as a completely innocent action, another may view as immoral. Critical thinkers will often justify if a person does a terrible action, they will make an excuse. An example would be a guy who believes something is going on between his girlfriend and her friend. The girl has two decisions: be careful with her actions or flirt more with her friend. The second action would technically be to fight fire with fire. Since the guy is essentially accusing the girl of having an affair, the girl might try to justify her accusations. Rationalizations like these can often cause problems in a relationship. Problems that weren't even there to begin with. Critical thinkers would think about what they value most and whether or not their decision will be worth it. If there is tension in the air, this could indicate a bad decision. I experienced this last Friday. My boyfriend had to go to the tutoring center to work on two assignments. The tutor I am good friends with worked at the same time. So the two were together in the same room. I had a little panic attack because I noticed my boyfriend was in the main room and the tutor was nearby. My boyfriend already doesn't like it, so being in the same room with both of us was definitely awkward. But it made me understand my actions with the tutor. Every week, he and I spent four hours of alone time together and some interesting topics came up. I felt a little guilty when they were in the same room. It's not a kiss, but it doesn't make the decision
