In a recent survey, 9 out of every 10 people have admitted to cheating in school, at work, or in some other aspect of life at least once in their lives. Pretty scary to think about, isn't it?

So the question is this: just how wide spread is cheating in our society? After reading the following article from the NY Times, I would like you to answer the questions.
