Fixing

Fixing, in the context of general knowledge, refers to the process of altering or manipulating information or outcomes to achieve a desired result, often in a dishonest or unethical manner. This can occur in various fields, such as sports, where athletes or officials might conspire to influence the outcome of a game. It can also apply to academic or scientific research, where data may be falsified to support specific conclusions. Fixing undermines integrity and trust in systems, leading to unfair advantages and discrediting genuine efforts.
