Week 5: The Progressive Era

Americans are said to be cheaters. One example would be the science of IVF, artificial insemination. This is an interesting take on the whole IVF. Trying to put off getting pregnant until a woman is 4o years old is almost like cheating, according to this article. There is a trend among Americans where we are said to cheat nature. Maybe it is our nature, or our greed corrupting us. This article gives examples such as: abortion, pornography, or surrogacy.
Meanwhile, I have yet to mention the amount of cheating opportunities for students. There is everything from Instagram accounts for cheating, to literally tutors doing your homework. Almost everything you need to cheat is available through a quick google search. If you are taking an online exam via Blackboard, let's say you copy and paste a question from that exam into google. Google will pull up Quizlets with the answers on flashcards, or Course Hero, which is a website that actually uploads tests, assignments, or essays for students to copy (if you pay).
We, as cheating humans, are oblivious to the reality of our 'systematic cheating.' Is speeding through  yellow light cheating? Is skipping class cheating? Is surrogacy cheating? These are hard moral questions to ask but the reason why you should is because there is damage done when we cheat, irreversible damage against each other and against our natural order of life.
