Integrity behind Cheating

In the video presented to us my our teacher we were taught that some go far beyond for standing up for what's right. The example used in the story is that of medical students taking their first exam of medical school.The students were left testing in the room by the professor. As soon as he left there were cheat sheets coming from most students. One of the students in the back stood up to say that his three children and wife were living in an apartment so that he could go to medical school. Following that he stated that everyone who he caught cheating will be reported to the professor. As he said that the other students began to put away their notes and took the test with integrity. That act of integrity made the others reflect on honesty and as a result they were able to hold the title of the largest group of students to graduate from that medical school. The video then links this to a high school scenario.

In the high school setting there is a test being taken and when the teacher isn’t looking, one of the students asked for the answer to one of the questions and the other rejected her request.
