Cheating

Cheating in the context of general knowledge refers to the act of dishonestly acquiring or using information to gain an unfair advantage in assessments, competitions, or any situation where knowledge is evaluated. This can involve copying others' work, using unauthorized resources, or manipulating information to mislead. Cheating undermines the integrity of the learning process and devalues genuine effort and understanding. It can have consequences not only for the individual involved but also for the wider community, as it compromises trust and fairness in academic and social environments.
